Re: How do you write in PDFs?
Short answer, PDF's sucks when it comes to editing, because that's they were created for, to preserve the format and make you unable to edit. However, with the new adobi updates they now allow you to add comments, it sucks but I am going to tell you all your options.
Now in the free reader version you are limited to only add sticky notes, otherwise if you want to highlight or some other tools I forgot about, you need to pay for adobi pro, but more importantly they allow you to add tags which will be readable to screen readers.
Anyway in the free version you can still add the sticky notes, I managed to do it. Select the text and press applications then choose add sticky notes. Write what you need to write then use the navigator object to navigate to the post button. The drawbacks here lay in the fact that comments position are not read by NVDA, I mean unlike in MS Word, NVDA do not warn you that there is a comment available, however I found a way to read them as individual comments without knowing their position.
To do that, go to view, tools then comments and press on open. then press f6 and press tabs until you reach all the comments. I think you could move here with down arrows, or tab, one of them should work.
For me that would be doable but so inefficient tbh, so your other option is select the file, press application, go to open with, more apps and choose word, it will convert the pdf to a word document and will try to preserve its format, but if you have Word 2016 that is, it might work on 2013 I am not so sure. anyway that changes a bit in the format but in word if you go to review then add a comment it'll be much more accessible.
As for NVDA reporting the format, press NVDA control d, you'll find all the needed options there, check what you need. I recommend you to not check all the options as it makes NVDA too heavy and unresponsive. You can also press NVDA+f to read the format of the current paragraph under the cursor.
I hope this helped.
