Tags, alt text, and PDF accessibility

I'm thoroughly confused. I just finished the layout for a 176-page book in ID and I'm trying to tag the book for PDF accessibility. I read that it's better to tag in ID before you export to PDF. My problem is, I have no idea what I'm supposed to do or how to do it, and everything I'm reading is confusing me even more. I'm getting nowhere.
I'm not expecting a full course on this, but can someone please answer a few questions to give me a kick start (I may even ask the wrong questions). 1.) How do you add alt text to graphics in ID, or Acrobat? 2.) How do you add a tag in ID. I mean, I can add a tag but I don't know where or why I'm adding it. 3.) How do you manually tag a file in Acrobat 9 Pro or edit the auto tagging once it's done?
I'm using the most recent versions of ID and Acrobat Pro, and the most recent version of Mac OSX.
Thank you.

I too have been trying to figure this out and have followed the steps
to add alt text to InDesign before exportign to PDF. I just can't see the alt text in either PDF or in a browser displaying thee PDF fiel - I know the tagged text is there because when I open
the "touch up Reading order" dialog in the
accesibility tab of Acrobat - the image displays with the appropriate Alt text. I' checked the accessibility otpion in the browser as well [expand all alt text for images] but I still don't see the alt text when I mouse over teh image - what am I missign here?

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!!!

A Few SEO Questions: Alt="" text and file/folder names.

I've been reading about the Dark Art of SEO and frankly, a lot of it is more confusing than I anticipated. Anyway, I'll summarise a bit here.I have read that:
File/folder names are better with meaningful words and hyphenated words. so DCM000123.jpg in a folder called galimg would be better as: /gallery-images/painting-title-here.jpg
Alt="" text can add to the content of your pages.
My thinking underneath this relates to a gallery site I built with around 200 individual paintings in it. So the site has a lot of content but not a lot of text. I wonder if I should start trawling through all of this to change the file names and folders and add alt="" text more meaningfully to help with SEO?
So if my thinking is OK, here are the questions.
How would you put the alt="" text on individual images? I imagine that it should just be a straight-forward, what-you-see description? But there are a few other options. Suppose I have an image that the artist has titled, "Cattle on a Hill" and it's an oil on canvas. I could make that into,
alt="Oil on Canvas: Cattle on a Hill" or
alt="Cattle on a Hill" or
alt="A group of cows grazing in pasture under moonlight." or
Suppose I have 20 images in a portrait gallery:
alt="Portrait. Oil on canvas: Joe Bloggs" or
alt="Portrait. Joe Bloggs" or
alt="Man with grey hair wearing a blue shirt sitting on a bench" or
alt="Portrait painting. Oil on canvas. Joe Bloggs: Man with gray hair wearing a blue shirt sitting on a bench"
The second part of the question also includes the problem that if I have 20 images in a single gallery page and I put "Portrait painting" in each alt="" text is that going to look like key word stuffing?
Now on to the file name thing. Should the file names be portrait-painting-01 and so on or should they be Cattle-on-hill or what?
Final question: am I making too much of all this?
Thanks
Martin

First of all, stay away from spaces in file names AT ALL COST.
The examples you cited would look like:
alt="Oil%20on%20Canvas:%20Cattle%20on%20a%20Hill" or
alt="Cattle%20on%20a%20Hill" or
alt="A%20group%20of%20cows%20grazing%20in%20pasture%20under%20moonlight."
to an SE crawler.
If you really want effective picutres, use Photoshop or Fireworks to embed metadata and THEN add them to your site.
Alt tags means the text that would appear if the image didn't for some reason. It also helps with accessibility for visually impaired viewers who use plug-ins to allow their browser to "speak" the images to them when the page loads.
<img src="img/example-1.jpg" width="128" height="160" alt="example-1.jpg" />
Above is an example of how to add alt text. Dreamweaver actually loads the alt tag automatically unless you've turned it off somehow.
Either put the info in the Alt box in the properties panel, or in code view, add it between the quotes.
To the second part of your question, Alt tags are meant for SEO with the images only (Like when you search for images of a certain name or containing certain tags)
and really have little effect on the page SEO itself. For that type of optimization you want Keywords, and Descriptors in the <head> portion of the
individual page:
<meta name="google-site-verification" content="Optimizer code would go here" />
<meta name="Description" content="Page name, site name, business name, location, phone number, etc. goes here"/>
<meta name="Keywords" content="Restaurant, Sports bar, Catering, Hotel, Gallery, Car Dealer, Exterminator or whatever describes the site and page as well as content of the pages"/>
<meta name="author" content="your name here"/>
<meta name="robots" content="index, follow"/> (This tells search engine crawlers to index this page and each one you add it to, and follow them site wide)
<meta name="revisit-after" content="7 days"/> (This tells the crawler when to revisit for updates after it has indexed the site)
To your last question. No, you're not making too big a deal out of it, if you're talking about exposure for a business. If it's a personal gallery of your favorite vacation pictures? You just might be.

Alt text and doctype XHTML

Just a question to know if my thoughts are right...
I have made my website and at the top DW has put:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
I have notices that the alt-text in my site are not working (the way I would like), they are not displayed when you go over the image with the cursor. I know that the alt text will show up if the image fails to load for any reason but I would like them to show up also when you go over the image.
After a long search I found that if I change DOCTYPE to HTML 4.01, the alt-text are displayed in the browsers (IE). But unfortunately I can't change the DOCTYPE because of my SPRY-menu.
Is this correct?
And is it also correct that the only way to show the text of an image (with doctype XHTML), is to make a title-tag of the image (which DW doesn't facilitate)?
Katinka.

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
I know that the alt text will show up if the image fails to load for any reason but I would like them to show up also when you go over the image.
That's not the role of alt text. It's only for alternative text in the absence of an image-not a popup tooltip.
It has worked as a tooltip in earlier versions of IE because they incorrectly displayed the alt attribute in the absence of the title attribute. It won't work in modern browsers and it's unrelated to the Doctype.
Use the title attribute instead.
<img alt="Picture" title="Picture">

E-Mail Purchase Order - Text and PDF to include EKKO-EBELN

Hi All,
I am triggering purchase order layouts via E-mail. I want the e-mail subject line to have some static text whilst referencing the PO number (EKKO-EBELN).
I also want the PDF file to be called include the same text and reference number
How can I include EKKO-EBELN?
Is this something that I can simply add to the text line &ekko-ebeln& or do I have to build the rule into the processing program and entry form
Points will be rewarded
Cheers
Steve

The vendor e-mail address is picked up from the master data and the purchaser's e-mail would be picked up from their user account. The problem is that I don't know at what stage in the program SAPFM06P, used for sending the purchase order, I could set up the distribution list.
If I set the vendor address to name.address@somewhere; name2.address@somewhere else this works and both name and name2 receive the e-mail. But it would mean the purchasers ammending the vendor e-mail address each time, which just isn't practical.
I probably should have said that I'm using SAP version 46c and the e-mail is sent using standard SAP settings for 5-External send using program SAPFM06P and form MEDRUCK.
Thanks for the advice

Alt Text and images

Can anyone point me in the direction to force users to use alt text with images in Portal content areas to meet with W3C compliency?

Hi marjar
Thank you for your reply, I see now that the URL in IE has http// but in firefox (like this URL https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/989394?) shows as https// why is that? and this must be why my ALT and external links in my images do not work in Firefox. However my internal links do work except for the ALT. Is there a way or a plugin for Firefox that I can instal to make my site compatible to https// ?

Div tag with text and image verticaly centered

I am having a problem with vertically aligning an image with
a text line in a div tag using an external CSS file.
Any help would be appreciated

You can simply do this:
ProdDimensions img {vertical-align:middle;}
Or you can use an un-ordered list that has your arrow
embedded as a background image, something like this:
.ProductList ul {list-style-image:
url(Arrow.gif);list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:none;text-align:left;}
.ProductList li {margin:0;}
wrap your unordered list around a div with the class
ProductList (or whatever you want to call it) and it will display
with the arrows in the middle of the text.
Another way to do it would be to set a background image on
ProdDimensions class like this:
background: url(Arrow.gif) left center
no-repeat;padding-left:21px;
That will simply put a background image to the left middle of
your div, the padding will ensure the text is not on top of the
arrow.
I used your idea of using the arrow as the div bg and it
worked like a charm.
Thank you very much for your help!

Save dialog box for text and pdf files

Hi,
I am using CRM UI framework for developing my components.
Currently i have a hyperlink for a file. On click of the hyperlink i want the Save dialog box to appear with SAVE/OPEN/CANCEL options. For Word/Excel/PPT files, dialog box appears. However for txt/PDF files, dialog box does not appear.
URL looks like the following:
http://uxcia0g.wdf.sap.corp:50026/sap/bc/contentserver/000?get&pVersion=0045&contRep=RPS_DB_02&docId=80215A5C348E1DEE8A9EC8FFDED05E54&compId=chk.pdf&content_disposition=attachment.
Could you please help me to resolve this issue?
Regards,
Vinay

First of all, you need an app on the iPad that can read those files that you want to transfer. Adobe Reader and iBooks are two free apps that will read PDF files. Adobe Reader is much more robust than iBooks as it offers so many more features like renaming files, creating folders, annotating, highlights, etc.
Download Adobe Reader in the App Store. Then read this about file sharing with iTunes.
iOS: About File Sharing - Support - Apple
There are other ways to get files to the iPad, like email, DropBox and some other apps that let you mount your iPad like a flash drive.
This should be helpful as well.

Xkcd+alt-text in a pdf?

I would love to see some kind of tool, a script that download every xkcd comic and the alt text and put them in a pdf file. It would be great to print and put on the can for everyone to read.
Anybody of you guys that knows of a script that does this? Or are willing to create one?

whacath wrote:But "putting more then one comic on one page" doesnt seem to work with xkcd comics
It works, but since most images are too large, reportlab places only one image per page. Use --scale option to decrease sizes of images.
moljac024 wrote:Wouldn't it better if the alt-text was below the image, not above it?
Done.
Updated the script.
1) Added --margin-{left,right,top,bottom} options to specify margins (in inches) when using reportlab
2) Added an ability to output comics to a HTML-file
3) Added --title-font-size and --alt-font-size options (guess what they do )
4) --scale option renamed into --image-scale
Output to HTML currently doesn't support image scaling to remove the dependence on python-imaging when using this mode.

About Layout control and Image alt text

Can i use normal HTML div tags to control layout ? is it bad practice or not? or i should go for template?
Can anyone please suggest how to add alt text and title to the images(logo) in ADF .

Use af:image for displaying images.
You could specify alt text in shortDesc attribute property of af:image.
<af:form id="f1">
<af:image source="/images/SubbanaSolutions.png"
shortDesc="Subbana Solutions" id="i1"/>
</af:form>For more details regarding af:image, check this:

Import Html text and convert to InDesign tags

Hello everybody,
The script receives a JSON with text (html markup: headers <h1>, <b></b>, new line characters, ...).
I have to save the converted text into a temp text file and then do .place() into a text frame. That's the only way it can recognise new tags.
//text and contentArea are defined previously.
var convertedText = convertTags(text);
var convertedTextFile = new File (FILE_PATH + "/Temp/convertedTextFile.txt");
convertedTextFile.open('wr');
convertedTextFile.write(convertedText);
convertedTextFile.close();
contentArea.place(convertedTextFile);
function convertTags(htmlTaggedText){
     var inDesignTaggedText = "<ASCII-MAC>\n" + htmlTaggedText.replace("<h1>", "<ParaStyle:Heading 1>").replace("</h1>", "");
     return inDesignTaggedText;
General question is, whether there is any more elegant solution to this?
Thanks in advance

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.

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?

Copy alt text to title [Branched from: WildCard Find & Replace Question]

Fabulous, so now I am able to add the code (alt=" ") to any image that does not already have one. Now is there a way to do a similar task AND have the replace function fill in the text based on existing info.?
My situation is I have images with alt text AND now have to add title info. to the image (title=" ") that is a duplicate of the alt text.
SO, is there a way to tell the system to find all alt text tags and replace them with alt text and title tag, where the title tag is a duplicate of the alt info.?
FIND alt="*.*"
REPLACE with alt="*.*" title="*.*"
I tried *.* and that does not work.

Ok, thank you for the reminder about how a screen reader reads things. I am passing that along to my cohorts. A piece of the puzzle that may help is our reasoning for adding the title tag to images is that in IE8 browser the alt text is not always popping up when a user scrolls over the image, and by placing the title tag into the code then the text entered for the title tag does pop up when user scrolls over the image. Is there another/better way to do this?
FYI - So I tried the method you suggested and below is the original code AND then the resulting code. The results only added the info. entered in the replace box verbatim and didn’t copy the alt text and place it in the title tag. It even overwrote my existing alt text.:
Original code –
img alt="US 8 (WIS 35 - US 53) Corridor Preservation overview/location map" height="220" src="images/map-overview.gif" width="300"
img alt="Map key - Thick orange line is the project overview/location, thin purple and green lines are project segments, and the blue tear drop with dot in center are the project boundaries." height="174" src="../../images/map-keymultiseg.gif" width="271"
Resulting code –
img alt="$1" height="220" src="images/map-overview.gif" title="$1" width="300"
img alt="$1" height="174" src="../../images/map-keymultiseg.gif" title="$1" width="271"
