Section 8: Making Adobe PDF forms accessible
Adding a form field description in the Accessibility palette of LiveCycle Designer
Step 3: Set and test the tab order for form fields
You can set the tab order field by field in LiveCycle Designer. Setting the tab order is one of the final tasks that you
should do when you are creating a form. See "Setting the tabbing order" in LiveCycle Designer 7.0 Help.
Step 4: Save the form as a tagged Adobe PDF form
LiveCycle Designer saves forms in several formats, including static (nonfillable) Adobe PDF (Acrobat) forms,
dynamic (fillable) PDF forms, and Adobe XML forms. To create a tagged form, you must select Generate Accessi-
bility Information (Tags) For Acrobat in the Save As dialog box. See "Saving forms for Acrobat and Adobe Reader"
in LiveCycle Designer 7.0 Help for information on these different formats.

Note: Once you save the form as a tagged PDF form, you are finished with the accessibility workflow for a LiveCycle
Designer form. You can open and fill out the form in Adobe Reader or Acrobat, but you cannot use Acrobat Professional
to edit the form, or to perform the other accessibility tasks that are described in this guide.
