Reading order messed up after flattening the pdf form

Hi Team,

I’m filling a form in the existing accessibility compliant PDF and flattening the form to make it not editable afterwards.

After the flattening, the reading order of the fields are in wrong order.
But if I’m not flattening it, just make those fields as readonly, it reads in proper order.

Any idea why it is behaving like this?
