• radio buttons
• free text fields
• date selection
• digital signatures

• 1.3 Develop digital forms that are cross‑compatible between PDF software applications, for end users (i.e., viewing and filling out forms) and for future maintenance (e.g., editing form fields, updating dropdown field lists).
• 1.4 Develop digital forms in compliance with Web Accessibility Requirements.
• 1.5 Provide an outline of accessibility requirements incorporated into forms and any gaps/items not in compliance with standards.
• 1.6 Provide PSOHP with all final source files for each form (i.e., both PDF and Word formats to enable future maintenance).
