I agree, even though we can’t do everything that software is able to do. Maybe that will change some time, who knows. But it is faster than using Windows with JAWS, at least it was when I was using Windows. The OCR feature is instantaneous, practically. Also, with the Pro version, you can create text files, Excel files from pdf tables, and I can’t remember if there is anything else.
We can’t do this directly, but you can get a sighted Mac user to rename form fields on some of these inaccessible pdf files.
