Inserting alternative text to images

how can you add alternative text to images? which is text that describes an image when the image function is turned off or in another format for blind individuals. This is a ADA compliance requirement in order to export a document to an accessible PDF.

Pages ’09 v4.3, or Pages 1.7.2 (IOS) do not provide alternative text for images support at this time. For those needing to brush up on alternative text, here is a Wikipedia link.

Alternative Text for images

Hello!
I would like to know How to add alternative text to the images in Oracle Portal. And also to each area in an image map. I have tried with ALT="name" but it doesn't works.
Thanks,
Carmen

You can try to create a HTML Template - HTML Content Layout
with the following HTML code and use in the region where your image resides
IMG src="#ITEM.IMAGE.VALUE#" alt="#ITEM.CONTENT.LABEL#" border="0"

Unable to Add alternative text and tooltips to your images

Hello,
I am using Muse CC in Apple iMAC machine. The build version of Muse CC is 232.
Having watched the video, http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-adobe-muse-cc/using-titles-and-alt-text-to-images/, I am unable to bring up the image property window when I press the right hand click button of my Apple Mouse.
As such, I am unable to add alternative text and IMG Text to my images including the logo, facebook and Twitter Logos.
Can someone please tell me how to resolve my issue? How come I unable to bring up the image property when I press the right hand click on the mouse. The image property is also not shown in the menu of Muse CC.
Thank you.
Maxplus.

Hello Maxplus,
Try doing CTRL+Click once to see if it works. Also, if an image is added as a fill, it doesn't bring up the Add alternative text and tooltips option, because then it is added as a background and not placed as an image.

Why is alternative text is still visible after an image is displayed (e.g., in Dropbox and Google mail)?

When I go to my Dropbox page or my Google e-mail page, both the images for icons AND their alternative text is shown (I tried to upload two images illustrating this but the "Upload image" seems to have hung). I am using the lastest version of Firefox for Linux.

Do you have this pref?
*browser.display.force_inline_alttext

Is it possible to insert a text field over an image?

I am creating a web form, and I would like to insert a text field over an image - basically, the person completely the form will be able to see how the text she write will look on the image. Is this possible in FormsCentral? Or is there a work around?

This is something that is not supported.

How can i copy line with text and image to ms word

When I insert an image in textflow using InlineGraphicElement it works, but when I copy the line with the image to MS Word it copies only the text (not the image).
How can i copy the image to MS Word?

If you want copy formatted text and image to MS Word, you need to give MS Word rtf markup, because Word can recognize rtf markup but not TLF markup.
So you need to create a custom clipboard to paste a rtf markup. It's a large feature for you, because you need a tlf-rtf converter in your custom clipboard.
TLF Custom Clipboard Example:
package
    import flash.display.Sprite;
    import flash.desktop.ClipboardFormats;
    import flashx.textLayout.container.ContainerController;
    import flashx.textLayout.conversion.ITextImporter;
    import flashx.textLayout.conversion.TextConverter;
    import flashx.textLayout.edit.EditManager;
    import flashx.textLayout.elements.*;
    import flashx.undo.UndoManager;
    // Example code to install a custom clipboard format. This one installs at the front of the list (overriding all later formats)
    // and adds a handler for plain text that strips out all consonants (everything except aeiou).
    public class CustomClipboardFormat extends Sprite
        public function CustomClipboardFormat()
            var textFlow:TextFlow = setup();
            TextConverter.addFormatAt(0, "vowelsOnly_extraList", VowelsOnlyImporter, AdditionalListExporter, "air:text" /* it's a converter for cliboard */);
        private const markup:String = '<TextFlow whiteSpaceCollapse="preserve" version="2.0.0" xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/textLayout/2008"><p><span color=\"0x00ff00\">Anything you paste will have all consonants removed.</span></p></TextFlow>';
        private function setup():TextFlow
            var importer:ITextImporter = TextConverter.getImporter(TextConverter.TEXT_LAYOUT_FORMAT);
            var textFlow:TextFlow = importer.importToFlow(markup);
            textFlow.flowComposer.addController(new ContainerController(this,500,200));
            textFlow.interactionManager = new EditManager(new UndoManager());

AOL stripping pdf from "multipart/alternative" text email

Hi! I am using MYOB AccountEdge and it has a function within the program to send out statements as pdf attachments to a text email. As of the beginning of this year, AOL is stripping off the pdf attachment, but the text email goes through. Last year, no problem - the attachments were received.
I can send the attachment to the AOL accounts successfully if I attach it to a new text mail message from the mac Mail program.
In examining the Long Headers, it appears the only difference, I can see is that the email where the pdf attachment is stripped is "multipart/alternative" and the email where is goes through is "multipart/mixed".
As the MYOB program seems to send through Mail, at least the sent message shows up in the Sent folder, is there a way to force "multipart/mixed" through a command in Terminal? Or do I need to continue to do battle with MYOB?
Anyone else having pdf's stripped when sending a "multipart/alternative" text email to AOL?
Thanks for any help/ideas.
Peter Truce

Thanks for the help, Ernie. I did note that sometimes, not today, the message would take a very long time to get to my test AOL account - perhaps 12 hours, but it would eventually show up.
Of course not all of my customers use AOL and everyone else is receiving the statement emails correctly. Just AOL clients and usually they are using a PC, curiously. I have one client with a Mac who is getting them OK on her AOL account.
The brush image has been there for say, 5 years? Hopefully that is not the problem as I really, really like the brush.
I do agree with what you are suggesting: This is a MYOB problem and MYOB will have to solve it. But thanks for identifying the thing. I will be hopping on the Tech Support Desk tomorrow - can't get through by phone on Mondays usually.

Possible to scan a document into Acrobat XPro,then replace part of that PDF with text or image file?

Hi everyone,
Is it possible first to scan a paper document into Acrobat X Pro, and then to replace a "pane" or box within that PDF with a text or image file?
Would it require SDK and Javascript?
Thanks,
Rick Weinhaus

CtDave and others:
Here's the problem in more detail.
I am a physician and I already have the ability to incorporate paper-based
documents into an electronic health record (EHR) by scanning them and
saving them as PDFs. The documents are paper patient encounter forms with
a different box or 'pane' for each category of data. Each box has a fixed
location on the paper form.
There are three situations, however, where I want to have the option to
overwrite certain boxes of the PDF with data generated by methods other
than scanning.
1) Insert text macros with variable fields using the electronic health
record's software.
2) Insert a drawing available as a pre-existing JPG or generated by using a
tablet.
3) Insert text generated using Dragon Naturally Speaking.
For efficient office workflow, in all three cases the text or image to be
inserted into the box or 'pane' in the PDF needs to be generated while I am
still seeing the patient -- that is -- before the paper form has been
scanned and converted to a PDF.
The sticky note tool is one option, but I would want to be able to modify
the default size of the sticky note so that it corresponded exactly to the
size of the box it was 'overwriting.' I can't figure out how to do this?
Could it be done using scripting?
Furthermore, I would want the sticky notes to automatically display when
the PDF was opened, so that a hover would close rather than open them. This
sticky note method would have the advantage of allowing the user to toggle
back and forth between inserted data and any original handwritten text.
Any thoughts?
Rick

Placing text beside image in a table cell?

I'm creating business cards (using a Printworks template), and I want to place text to the right of the inserted picture.
I've copied and pasted the jpg fine onto the left side of the cell, yet when I try to type text, the cursor only lets me begin typing at the bottom right side of the photo, not up at the top right side, where I want the info to start.
Further, when I try to insert a Text Box into the cell, it won't go inside.
So, my question: *How do I get image and text together inside a table cell?*

I made an ultimate test.
I grouped a jpeg picture and a shape in which I inserted a piece of text. You may see it on the screenshot.
I inserting the group in the cell hoping that the group will be correctly displayed.
Nada, only the picture appears.
If I select the object embedded in the cell, copy it, paste it in an other location, I may ungroup it but the now separated shape no longer contains the original text

Gokce
oopss.. how do we attache images here ?
Message was edited by: Gokce

Gokce,
Have you tried inserting a text box? If not, click on View > Show Layout to enter the layout view. Click in the gray margin area to make your cursor disapppear. Then click on Insert > Text. The box will be defined as Fixed on Page (because you clicked in the margin area), allowing you to move it anywhere on the page. You can resize it to look just like a column, then put text in it.
Hope this helps.

Tables in Dreamweaver Vs Text and Image boxes in Golive?!!?

I have built a website in GoLive and to edit a page you insert text boxes, images boxes, etc and then can move each one freely and easily by simply dragging it. It seems when I transferred the site to Dreamweaver it is now in a table with very little freedom of movement? It is all in cells, and seems restricting! Is this just Dreamweaver, or can I turn this optional view off???

You are trapped between the smoke and mirrors of the basic approach that GL
takes (I'm not trying to be pejorative here), and the "reality of HTML"
approach that DW takes.
What GL calls 'text boxes', 'image boxes', and other such usages, are really
just absolutely positioned page elements that have been renamed so that you
can grasp what they do more simply. In Dreamweaver these are called "AP
divs", where the "AP" stands for "Absolutely Positioned", and the "divs"
stands for
tags.
The reality is this - you cannot just move things around on the page without
making them be absolutely positioned. This seems like the easy solution.
The problem is that using absolutely positioned elements willy-nilly is just
a bad approach to creating web pages.
So, let me ask you - why are you migrating to Dreamweaver? If you don't
have some familarity with HTML and CSS, and if you aren't inclined to
acquire it, then you will be in for a VERY rough ride.

Aligning text and images in a StyledDocument like 'middle' on img in HTML

Hi,
I have a StyledDocument which is a document source for a JTextArea, into which I am inserting combinations of 22x22 images and text strings. This is just a nitpick, and I am hoping someone could assist.
What I would like to do is middle-align the text and images, so that the strings are vertically centered with the images.
You can reproduce this as such:
messagePane = new JTextPane();
messagePane.setMargin( Constants.smallInset );
doc = (StyledDocument)messagePane.getDocument();
Style style;
style = doc.addStyle( "normal", null );
StyleConstants.setForeground( style, Color.BLACK );
StyleConstants.setFontFamily( style, "Verdana" );
StyleConstants.setFontSize( style, 12 );
style = doc.addStyle( "image", null );
StyleConstants.setIcon( style, new ImageIcon( someimageofyourchoice ) );
doc.insertString( doc.getLength(), " ", doc.getStyle( "image" ) );
doc.insertString( doc.getLength(), "some misaligned text", doc.getStyle( "normal" ) );Thanks in advance!
Alex

code correction:
top block:
messagePane = new JTextPane();
messagePane.setMargin( Constants.smallInset );
StyledDocument doc = (StyledDocument)messagePane.getDocument();cut + paste from several separate components...

Use Powershell to replace text with image in Word document

I have a powershell script that uses a Word document as a template to create signatures that I am pushing out to my organization.
The document is populated with text formatted the way I want the signature to look, that I then do a FindText and ReplaceText on. This works fine for replacing text with text, but I can't figure out how to properly replace some of the holder text with
an image and a link. I found a few posts about adding images to word documents, but none that seem to work properly in this scenario.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Dear BOFH,
You are correct that method I outlined is not for inserting an image into a signature block (which would be in Outlook, not Word). The links you post do certainly deal with outlook signatures, well done... Except that the question was about how to
use a Powershell script to replace text in a Word document with an image. Sure it was framed in the context of creating signatures, but the poster expressed that they already had a method of generating and replacing text, and just needed to know, as
I did, how to do the thing they actually asked.
Please BOFH... Please forgive my audacity in hoping to find a reference (any reference) to how to replace Word text with images via Powershell in a thread titled "Use Powershell to replace text with image in Word document".
This is certainly a scripting question, and even something as simple as "You will need to call the .NET methods for the Word find/replace functionality. Please ask in the Word forums for the correct method to use.
If you need help on calling .NET methods look HTTP ://here"support you offered combined with the contempt you offer in response to my actual substantive help to the actual question asked.
BOFH, you are not better than us, just more arrogant.
Can you please start your own question as this one has been closed. Please see scripting guidelines.
We cannot guarantee you satisfaction as this is a user supported forum. The is no SLA for community support. Perhaps if you posted a better worded question as a new topic someone might be able to help you resolve your issue.
The topic you are posting on is closed and answered.

Adding alternative text (meta data)

How do you add Alternative Text to an existing jpeg?
Thanks

Good day!
A jpg can not have »proper« editable text (except in the meta data etc.) but rather presents an image of text.
So changing text in the image would require removing the old text (if it is not completely covered by the new text at least) by using the various tools available for such a task in Photoshop (Clone Stamp Tool, Content Aware Fill, …) and writing in the new one (with the Type Tool for example).
In such a case it might pay off to keep the layered psd file and save a jpg off of that (File > Save As).
