The native Acrobat Reader is better at this than Preview. Once the PDF is tagged properly, there should not be an issue.

You can just use Adobe acrobat Reader to fill out a form—no special paid version is necessary.

It is likely the PDF is not tagged correctly if at all. While a sighted user can see to click into the form fields and fill them out, someone must tag the PDF correctly so it is keyboard accessible and that all form fields work as expected. You will likely need to go back to the source of the PDF and tell them their file is not accessible.
