Alt text for photos not appearing

Hi,
I tagged a large document in InDesign (because Acrobat Pro's feature is too unpredictable).
I assigned alt text to all the photos, but when I hover my cursor over them while viewing the
exported PDF, only some are showing up.
It turns out that large photos that I have on chapter divider pages are the only ones
not showing their alt text, even though they are set up in InDesign structure view the
same way as all other photos.
Can anyone think of a reason why this is happening? The only thing I can think of
that's different about them is that they originally are from a master page. But because
each photo is unique, they've already been disconnected from the original master page.
Thanks,
Jane

I just figured out that those photos had been set to a blending mode of Multiply
because an earlier iteration of the design used transparency. But to the eye, they
look like normal photos, so I didn't realize they were set to Multiply.
This solved the problem but it's not heartening news. What if my graphic legitimately
did have a blending mode set? What would my workaround be if I needed to set Alt Text
for those images?

  • Alt-text 'tool tip' not appearing on some images

    We get pdf files created by outside sources that we then need to publish on our webpage.  I add tags to the pdf, then add the alt-text to the images via the Touch Up Text tool.  As well as I can determine, the tag for the alt-text is present in the pdf.  The Read Out Loud function in Acrobat reads the alt-text correctly as does a screen reader.  But the 'tool tip' does not appear on all images.  It seems that the more complex, mulitple layered dwg type images do not display the text, either from the browser, or from Acrobat itself.  Other dwg source images do work, and photgraphic images are ok.
    I have gone back through the pdfs to verify the existence of the figure tag, and that the alt-text is there.
    I have opened the tags dialog, looked at the properties, and added the text to the Title field as well as the alt-text and Actual Text.
    I have converted the images to jpgs, which resolves the issue, but greatly reduces the quality of the image.
    I am using Acrobat Pro 8.1.4 on a Windows XP, sp2 system.
    I am aware that the ADA requirement do not require the 'tool-tip' to function, but when you have many, many pages of images in a pdf using a screen reader or the read out loud function to test is not feasible for testing.  We need to have the tool-tip working, and I have run out of ideas on how to make it work.

  • Timing of text box will not appear.  My text boxes stop working on slide 5 and they will not work for the remainder of the slide show.

    Timing of text box not working.  I get the first few slides to work and then on slide 5 my text boxes will not appear.  And they do not appear for the rest of the slide show.   Help anyone.

    Text caption is timed to appear at 2 seconds, but you have a click box at 0sec. Its duration is very short, which means that I cannot see if there is a pause. I suspect this click box is pausing at the end of its timeline, which is at 0.3secs and the Text caption at 2 seconds will not appear before the user has clicked on that click box. The timeline is the core of Captivate, learn at least how to read it.
    Tiny Timeline Tidbits - Captivate blog
    If you want the green text caption 'Click on...' to appear right at the beginning of the slide, you have to check its Timing accordion: set it to start at 0 secs instead of 2 secs and extend its duration to the 'rest of the slide'.
    I don't know what is in the Group. That group and the HIghlight box will disappear at 3 seconds. Or maybe the action that is triggered by the Clickbox is different from 'Continue'?

  • Large alt text for pdf images

    I'm trying to include alt text for my pdf images but the text is over the character limit.  Is there any way to include longer alt text (for example through the use of an external file and a longdesc tag) in a pdf, or am I basically stuck with the character limit no matter what I do?

    Does anybody at Mozilla read this or is it just for venting frustrations?
    Alt-text is NOT just for when the image can't be displayed. For instance, in my work I use a particular kind of colour palette. It used to be that when I hovered over the little square showing the colour, that the colour number would appear. It's the ONLY way to know what colour you're dealing with, in this case.
    This used to be available in Firefox, but suddently it disappeared. This is forcing me to use Safari, which has this feature. But I prefer to work with Firefox.
    This is very frustrating!!!

  • Text from text module is not appearing in smartform output

    Hi Experts,
    We are using text modules in one of our smartform to print the sender text . The name of this text module is being dynamically determined during the execution and is coming correctly but still the the text inside the text module is not appearing in the output. We checked one more similar form which is working on the similar logic but calling a different text module , there it is working perfectly. I have tried all the possibilties like changing the window size, changing the fonts and other parameters of the text module but still its not appearing . This seems to be something unusual as in both the smartforms(one with text appearing from module and one without the text) the logic is exactly similar for getting the text module name. The name is getting determined in both the cases correctly and the text modules are also maintained in same manner for both these forms but text is appearing on one and not on other.
    Kindly help if any one of you have also faced similar issue.
    Regards

    Hi Priyank,
    There could be various reasons....
    Wrong language for example
    An easy way to prove this is, put the text direct into the smartforms and see, if it pops up immediately.
    If so, you have to really debug this spot and see if the pased name is correct. (Copy paste it in the debugger, to be really sure, there could be a space in fornt or in the end...)
    If that doesn't help, you have to share more details. Your question is not that very specific. You know

  • The text "Remove" is not appearing in the remove button of Bookmarks.

    Hi,
    The text "Remove" is not appearing in the remove button of Bookmarks. My problem is the same as mentioned in this question.
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1017302
    The solutions suggested on the link don't seem to work. How do I resolve this? For me this problem is persisting everyday.
    Thanks

    You already tested in Firefox's Safe Mode and that did not make any difference?
    Can you associate this problem with any software changes, such as upgrading from Firefox 31 to Firefox 32, or updating an add-on, or Windows, etc.?
    Have you noticed problems with any other dialogs or menus?
    Occasionally a corrupted settings file may cause issues with dialogs. This file also stores toolbar customizations. You can rename the file and customize from scratch.
    Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
    * (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
    * type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
    In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button
    Leaving that window open, switch back to Firefox and Exit, either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > "power" button
    * (menu bar) File > Exit
    Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''localstore.rdf''' to something like localstore.old
    Start Firefox back up again. Any improvement in the Edit Bookmarks dialog?

  • Go - Connect to Server does NOT work - The text entered does not appear to

    Two Macs with Mac OS X 10.5.2. Both migrated from Mac OS X 10.4.11. One Mactel and one PowerPC. I can see the former from the latter, but not the latter from the former:
    Go/Connect to Server
    gives this error all the time for all listed servers:
    The text entered does not appear to be a recognized URL format
    This does not help:
    Mac OS X 10.5: "The text entered does not appear to be a recognized URL format" alert when connecting to server
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=307256
    Any idea how to fix it? Thanks.

    At this point I think you should get Applejack...
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
    After installing, boot holding down CMD+s, then when the prompt shows, type in...
    applejack AUTO
    Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
    I'd do it on all of them.
    Then we can go on from there if you still have a problem, but with several queastions eliminated!

  • Rich text default values not appearing in content entry template

    Hello all,
    Sorry for the repost, but no one seems to have an answer for me in the other forum and I thought I might be able to reach more people here.
    I have created a base text item and would like to include default values in some of the attributes. The problem is the default value I set in the rich text field is not appearing when I try to create an instance of my item type.
    Is this a bug, or am I not doing something right? All of my other attributes show their default values.
    Thanks in advance,
    Jim

  • How to invoke alt-text for images in a PDF file by Automation

    Hi,
    Can any one help me?
    How to invoke Alt-text for Images in a PDF file using script?
    Thanks for looking into this.
    Regards,

    What do you mean "invoke" alt-text?  If Alt-text is there, then it will be presented to a screen reader.

  • How to define alt text for an anchored frame in FrameMaker 11?

    What is the procedure in FrameMaker 11 to include alt text for anchored frames? We need to produce tagged PDF output that is accessibility compliant; this output must include alt text for each image in the document that a screen reader can read out.
    In previous FrameMaker versions, it was possible to define alt text as follows:
    Select the frame and choose Graphics > Object Properties.
    Click Object Attributes.
    In the Text Attributes section, add your alt text and actual text, and then click Set.
    The FrameMaker online help still describes this same procedure, at http://help.adobe.com/en_US/framemaker/using/WSd817046a44e105e21e63e3d11ab7f7960b-7f0f.htm l. However, I see that in FrameMaker 11, what you get on choosing Graphics > Object Properties has completely changed from previous versions, and I cannot see Object Attributes.
    Where is the alt text defined for an object in FrameMaker 11?

    In the Anchored Frame panel, click on the Object Attributes button.

    I have a 2012 macBook Pro 13" and the option "Use audio port for" does not appear at all in the sound menu. why is this? im running  mountain Lion 10.8.2

    Because line-in has been removed.
    It does allow for an Apple headset with mic., but I don't know if it would work with third-party ones.
    You'll need to use a Griffin iMic or similar to use line-in via a USB port.
    The same goes for the 15" retina, the newest MBA and the new iMac (whenever it finally arrives).

    I installed an airport express, on my mac book i can use the airplay using iTunes, but on my iPhone en ipad the icon for airplay not appears on the screan when i start the music player.

    Chances are, you have already tried this and already know the answer.
    But, if not....sorry, but no......since your printer is not AirPrint compatible, you must use the extra software workaround in the Mac.
    A newer AirPrint printer would allow you to do what you want.

  • Alt text for LInk

    I was just wondering, how do I make an "Alt" box appear for
    links, so I can enter alternate text for my links without adding it
    to the code everytime?

    First, there really is no alt attribute for an <a> tag.
    It's intended to be
    used for <img> tags only.
    Second, IE is the only browser that routinely displays the
    alt attribute.
    Other browsers will only display it when the browser has been
    set to not
    download images. It's a way of identifying the image when you
    are not
    displaying the graphics.
    Third, all tags can have a title attribute, e.g., <a
    href="..." title="For a
    really good time, click here"...., and all browsers will
    display it.
    Fourth, there is currently no way to enter this without going
    into the code.
    It won't hurt you.... 8)
