I am thinking that editing pdfs in iOS is impossible at this point.
Whether using touch screen or Bluetooth keyboard, there is no reliable way to actually input/edit information.
I noticed this as I was trying to submit a department of transportation pdf to an airline for air travel in the coming month.
No matter what I tried, I could not input any information.
Does anyone have any ideas? Maybe a third party app? What do you think?

windows and adobe reader
I ad well, years ago now, had to edit a PDF, an application for a camp. I used adobe reader in Windows, and used the convert to TXT option. wrote what I needed in the TXT document, and sent that document to the camp providers.
Is there no accessible third-party application on iOS?
Is there no accessible third-party application on iOS to edit PDF files
no.
editing PDFs is trickey at the best of times, and nearly imposible. the method I described is the only way to do what you want
convert it
Your best bet is to convert it to a different format, edit it, and when you send it, send it as a pdf by converting it with pages or other app.
I have submitted a bug report
I have submitted a bug report. I would encourage others to do the same. The PDF is readable, it sees the text boxes and check boxes. All that is needed is a little tweaking.
I called Apple accessibility and they agree that it’s not proper behavior.
