If a description for a group of checkboxes is present, this group description and the description of the checkbox itself (mirroring the visible label) should be defined in the Tooltip. Under the Options tab, the Radio Button Choice value must match the visible text that functions as a label for each radio button.īoth the Tooltip and Radio Button Choice values are read to a screen reader user.Because this information is read for each option in the group, it should be succinct. This provides a shared label for each of the options. The Tooltip value should also be the same for every radio button in the group.This groups the options together, ensuring that a user can only select one option within the group. The Name must be the same for every radio button within the group.The following information must be provided in the Radio Button Properties dialog: Radio buttons (a group of options where only one option can be selected) require additional information to ensure accessibility. These menus can be navigated with the keyboard by using the arrow keys, or by selecting the first letter of the desired option. When a screen reader user enters a list, both the Tooltip and any default option within the list are presented.

Text size should be a minimum of 11 points when possible.

Avoid the use of fonts that are fancy, overly-complex, or atypical, especially for multi-line fields. There are options within Acrobat to make a text field single or multi-line.
