Auto anchor table cells in forms to export correctly to tag trees in PDF
Clients frequently want accessible forms made in table format. Please set the cell fields (graphic cells) to auto-anchor and correctly export to the tag tree in PDFs. Currently, the exports do not work well with assistive devices and require much remediation--sometimes more time to remediate than actually designing the file correctly. Note that all USA Federal Government publications, forms, etc., MUST meet Federal law regarding accessibility. Remediation in exported PDFs needs to be minimal. Thank you.

I wholeheartedly agree with this feature being added! I was a long-time user of Adobe LiveCycle Designer at another company and was able to set up tables with form fields, combo boxes, and other objects with ease. I could create a table, size it, then create a form field and click and drag it into the cell. Or, I could create rows and columns of fields and combo boxes and create a table around it! I am having to shift to InDesign at another company, since getting Adobe LCD or AEM Designer is no longer single user license. I am finding so many pain points with InDesign in comparison to the Designer platform.

Oh PLEASE make this happen Adobe!
Worked on a 5-page form with nearly all of it in tables.
Hours spent fixing the form fields into the table cells, aligning them, and correctly anchoring them into each cell.
