Export XD file to a Accessible PDF

Hello, 
Is there a plugin or technique to add HTML tags and alt-text to the XD file so that when exported to PDF the PDF will have accessibility ready to go? 

XD File > PDF File > Accessible PDF. 

I can accomplish this with Acrobat Pro but it adds a lot of extra effort. 
Thanks in advance for your help, 

—Bud

I'm not familiar with a plugin that exports an accessible PDF from Adobe XD, but I did find a request for it on the Adobe XD Uservoice page where you could upvote it and add any comments for the Adobe XD team to see:

 

If you create content in InDesign, you could use in5, an InDesign plugin (that requires a paid subscription) that converts layouts to HTML5, to handle the accessibility for you:

    Thank you Myra for responding about the upvote opportunity and the note about InDesign. I almost recreated the doc in InDesign but thought it was an easier lift to keep it in XD. Next time. Peace.
