Yeah, it would be awesome if they could figure it out, but I think it will be difficult and perhaps a while off. In the meantime I think the more pressing issue is for them to get other form fields such as checkboxes and pop up menus working in forms which have been built with accessibility in mind.
Next it would be great if they could get the text to read better as in Preview, and if they could get the heading and form field tags etcetera to work like normal html headings and forms that would be fantastic. And then there's the features to reorder pages, insert new pages, create tables of contents and use them to navigate large documents. These features would be great if they worked with VoiceOver. I haven't fully explored them yet but I suspect there are some issues for now. Certainly please let us know if there's anything else we can help with by testing.
