After Adobe Acrobat creates form fields, there are many accessibility errors, why?

After Adobe Acrobat creates form fields, there are many accessibility errors.  Is there a way to add form fields in Adobe Acrobat and not get accessibility errors?

    Hi Tower 14,


    Thank you for reaching out, and sorry for the trouble caused.


    As I mentioned, creating form fields in Acrobat can lead to various accessibility errors. Could you please provide more details about the specific error you're encountering? If possible, sharing a short video that demonstrates the issue would be very helpful for us to investigate further and provide you with the necessary information.


    If you have any questions or need assistance, please feel free to let us know.


    Thanks,

    Meenakshi

    Greetings Meenakshi,

    Here are two screenshots.

    One is before form fields are added.  Accessibility Checker shows no issues.

    The other is after form fields are created by Adobe Acrobat showing errors in the Accessibility Checker.

    The form is created using Microsoft Word to create the PDF.

    Greetings Meenakshi,

    Attached is a video with the PDF before form fields were created and after form fields were created.  Before shows no accessibility errors.  After show numerous errors.

    Also attaching the PDF I used for the video.  It is the “Before” PDF with no form fields.

     

    Regards,

    George
