Hello Stuart, I would strongly urge you to download and try the latest version of PDFpen from the www.smilesoftware.com website. The trial version has a few limitations but nothing that will prevent testing a PDF file to see if you can access the form fields. I’ve been testing the latest version, 6.3, and have found that I can navigate through, interact with, and fill form fields in PDF files using standard tab and VO navigation techniques. Note that I have been testing with PDF files that I know were created using the PDF accessibility guidelines, and YMMV if you are attempting to work with non-compliant PDF files.
Also note that I’ve only been focussing on testing the specific VO improvements mentioned by the Developer in the current release notes, including labeling of buttons and access to form fields. I don’t think PDFpen yet provides full access to headings, tables, etc. In my opinion version 6.3 of the PDFpen application provides a glimmer of hope that true access to accessible PDF files may someday become a reality on the Mac.
