Accessibility tools, such as screen readers, access alternative text for images and objects, ensuring that individuals who may experience difficulty viewing your content are able to engage with the material. Please note that there are two ways to resolve Alternative Description issues for PDF. If you have exported your PDF from another file format, it’s best to resolve the issue in the original format before exporting it. You can also resolve the issue directly in the PDF using Adobe Acrobat Pro.
