itextPDF tagging of input element for pdf

Question

we use itextPDF v9.2 to generate PDF from HTML Code. The PDF is looking fine, but for the tagging of input elements for example

<input type="checkbox" id="$elementId" name="cbk" value="Yes" checked/>

The value or label does not show up in pdf tagging. It shows only "Path" under Form please see screenshot

Do you have any ideas how to let the value "Yes" show up in the pdf tagging?

Hi, it is for accessibility see axes4.com/en/pdf-accessibility. The pdf can be read by screen reader for example. — ovgu12

With the latest pdfHTML 6.2.0 you can set an alternate description by using 'alt' or 'title' attribute for your input tag. And then Acrobat will read it with its Read out loud function.

Also if I use the latest pdfHTML 6.2.0 PAC (2024) doesn't show any forms related errors or warnings.
