Figures alternate text
For accessibility, images in the document either have alternate text, or are marked as
artifacts. If the rule check fails, do any of the following in Foxit PDF Editor Pro:
Right-click the rule in the Accessibility Check panel in the navigation pane and
choose Fix from the context menu. Add alternate text in the Set Alternate Text
dialog box.
Open the Tags panel and right-click the image that you want to add alternate text,
choose Properties, and add alternate text in the Object Properties dialog box.
Click Accessibility > Reading Order to enable Touch Up Reading Order setting
mode. Then right-click the image that you want to add alternate text, choose Edit
Alternative Text, and add alternate text in the Alternate Text dialog box.
Mark the content as an artifact by right-clicking it and choosing Create Artifact in
the Contents panel in the navigation pane.
Nested alternate text
The check fails if the document contains nested alternate text that screen readers
don’t read. To fix the issue, right-click the nested element in the Tags panel in Foxit
PDF Editor Pro, choose Properties, and remove the alternate text in the Object
Properties dialog box.
Associated with content
Alternate text is always associated with the corresponding content on the page. If not,
there’s no way to determine which page the alternate text is on. If the Screen Reader
Options in Preferences > Reading is not set to read the entire document, screen
readers don’t read the alternate text. To fix the issue, remove the alternate text from
any nested item that has no page content by right-clicking the nested elements in the
Tags panel in Foxit PDF Editor Pro and choosing Properties.
