    Acrobat Pro XI - How to Modify Existing Alt Text?

    Data Daddy Community Member

      My name is Pete Edwards and I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI [version 11.0.0.379] on a Windows 7 platform. I receive PDFs (typically several photos in a gallery-type format) from clients for upload and I run the Make Accessible Wizard to verify that all of the information is correct. Often I determine that the Alt Text for some images is incorrect but I am unable to make any edits to the Alt Text because the Wizard tells me "There are no figures with missing alternate text" [see insert]. Can anyone help me with this problem? Thanks in advance for any help!

          Hi Pete,

           

          One way to edit alt text is in the Tags pane. Along the left of the screen you may see an icon that looks like a tag. Mouse over text will read "Tags: View and edit structured PDF information". If it is not there then View > Show/Hide > Navigation Panes > Tags. Once you open the Tags pane, locate the Figure tag with inaccurate alt text, right click it and select Properties. Alt text is on the Tags tab of the Object Properties dialog, and should be displayed by default.

           

          Another way is to select the Touch Up Reading Order tool, then right-click the image and select "Edit Alternate Text".

           

          Hope this helps.
