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.

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 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

  • JSlider + Display value in a text tool tip box

    Hello,
    I am new to Java. I want to display the value in a text tool tip box of the JSlider as the user moves the knob . Is there any way to achieve this.
    I tried setting up the value of text tool tip in the stateChanged method. But that didn't helped

  • 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,

  • My measurement tool is not appearing.

    My measurement tool is not appearing. I have guides and rulers set to show and I am holding down Cmd but for some reason only the pink alignment lines are showing. Is there a setting I've missed??

    What do you mean by the Measurement Tool? There are measurement tools, such as Ruler and Count, but no tool named Measurement. You mention that you are holding down the Command key, but this is for switching to the Move tool.

  • 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,

    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?

  • For Acrobat 9. TouchUp Text tool does not work.

    Acrobat 9. TouchUp text tool does not work --- even on documents created with my computer using installed fonts. Problem 2: when trying to export to Word 2010 there is no option for format .dox, only .doc which belonged to earlier versions of Word.

    Hi Begin,
    I have the same issue, I am not sure which version so I had on my old computer but when I got a new windows 7 64bit, and asked IT to install Adobe, my life turned upside down. now they asked if I need X or 9pro and I though 9pro is the latest and greatest.. they installed the standard first then could not edit then asked for the pro and could not edit ... now I search and maybe version X will edit but if the document is signed and we do need to do lots of editing after the signature then what is the solution??
    I hope the Guru in Adobe can help here soon please :-)!!

  • 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'?

  • Scroll bar does not appear in some PDF files. How can I enable it?

    Scroll bar does not appear in some PDF files. How can I enable it?

    Scroll bars are supposed to appear when needed.
    For example, scroll bars will appear when you zoom in on a page.
    FAQ: How to zoom in/out on a page
    Windows 8 automatically hides scroll bars after a few seconds of inactivity.  Scroll bars will reappear when you touch the screen and move your finger (on a Touch-enabled device) or move your mouse.
    Additionally, page navigation depends on the view mode (Single Page vs. Continuous Page).
    In the Single Page mode, you can swipe left/right (horizontally) or click the left/right arrow button with your mouse to go to the previous/next page.
    In the Continuous Page mode, you can swipe or scroll up/down (vertically) to go to the previous/next page.

    After installing, boot holding down CMD+s, then when the prompt shows, type in...

    Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
    I'd do it on all of them.

  • Why new contacts are not appearing after some time?

    I Am using iPhone6, iPad New and iPad mini. The contacts which I saved in iPhone are not appearing after some time. I don't know whether it is related with synchronisation of other devices. Please help me if you know the reason.

    Have you checked the filtering option in contacts? Open contact menu button > filter. Perhaps you have a filter hiding the contacts.

    Thanks in advance for your help.
    OK so you are currently in Full Photo Edit and making a New Document
    1 -- where in Elements did you type the caption on the photo? 
    For example
    -- were you in the Organizer workspace when you typed in the captions ?
    -- or were you in the Full Photo Edit using the PSE Text Tool when you typed in the caption ?
    Note: My guess is that you entered the captions using the Organizer. That means that the caption will be in a metadata field within the photo file but you would not see the caption when manipulating a photo in the Editor.
    2 -- Do you plan to print this 8 x 11 on your home printer ?
    -- Knowing what you plan to do with the 8 x 11 will probably help to suggest alternatives that might give you the caption more directly.
    -- Of course you could use the Editor Text Tool to paste each caption on to its image if nothing more automatic fits your needs for your custom layout.
