Hi, I use PDFPenPro to fill out forms quite a bit. Try pressing tab to go through the document and see how it goes. Of course, it totally depends on how good the creator of the fillable pdf did at labelling. Most pdf making people don't bother taking the time to label the fields and such, thus making it not particularly useful to us screen reader users. Not sure how proper those forms from your Social Security people are, but you'd hope that a government operation would do a better job.

I tried downloading a form from the Social Security Administration and PDF Pen failed to recognize the fields. Or, more correctly, VoiceOver failed to recognize that PDF Pen recognized the fields. > On Jun 26, 2016, at 2:03 PM, christopher hallsworth <challswor...@icloud.com> > wrote: > > That’s not a showstopper for me.
