other elements alternate text failed

Question

How to resolve the 'other elements alternate text failed' when the images already have alternate text included?

So I encountered this problem too, but playing around with a couple different things I fixed it.
I had the edge of a placed pdf hanging on the edge of my page.

Once I pushed my crop frame out of my page all the other images have alternate text errors went away.

The other pdf was tagged so this shouldn't have happened. I also realized I was getting errors for all of the graphics nested inside that pdf. I don't get it but it worked.

I’m curious what the source application was that created this PDF file. Regardless, this error is typically indicating an untagged object that Acrobat things is an image (and most likely is) within the document. Acrobat isn’t always good at showing what object it’s referring to so it can be a bit tricky to find. If you open the Content pane in Acrobat, look for any objects without a container. These would be untagged objects. Select the object and then right click and choose “Create Artifact”. Or if it’s a legitimate element, you can tag it as such. When you highlight the object in the Content pane, you’ll see it highlighted in the document so you can identify what it is.
