Add alternate text to tags for links, figures, and abbreviations
Alternate text, which is often used to make a document more accessible, is a
description for document contents like images and interactive form fields. Screen
readers cannot read these document contents, but can read the associated alternate
text. For accessibility, you need to add alternate text and other supplementary
information (like specific language) to tags for links, figures, and abbreviations in the
document. With Foxit PDF Editor, you can add the information to a tag in the Tags
panel.
1. Right-click the <Link> tag, <Figure> tag, or the abbreviated term in the tags tree in
the Tags panel, and choose Properties….
2. In the Object Properties dialog box, click the Tag tab.
3. Type text in the Alternate Text box. You can also edit other information as needed
in the dialog box.
4. Click Close.
Tip: For figures, you can also set alternative text by using the Edit Alternative Text tool
while in Touch Up Reading Order setting mode. Please refer to “Set Alternate text for
figures” for details.
