Retain alt text when converting from html to PDF

Question

Hi all,

I am trying to convert a bunch of html pages to PDF. All these pages have alt text, but once converted, the alt text does not show in the PDF version. When creating the PDF, I am selecting the "Create PDF tags" box, and the "tags" panel does show up, but all the images with alt text show as "Figure - No alternate text exists". Is there some way to resolve this issue? I am using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro.

Thanks in advance for all your help!

Hi Geet

We are sorry for the trouble. As described, the Alt text does not show in the PDF

++ Adding to the discussion

A PDF that you create from a web page is only as accessible as the HTML source that it is based on. For example, if the web page relies on tables for its layout design, the HTML code for the table may not flow in the same logical reading order as a tagged PDF would require, even though the HTML code is sufficiently structured to display all the elements correctly in a browser.For more information please take a look at the help page https://helpx.adobe.com/in/acrobat/using/creating-accessible-pdfs.html#create_a_tagged_pdf_from_a_web_page

Also, Adobe Acrobay XI is an old and EOL application. Adobe strongly recommends that you upgrade to the latest versions of Adobe Acrobat DC and Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. By upgrading installations to the latest versions, you benefit from the latest functional enhancements and improved security measures. For more informtion please take a look at the help page https://helpx.adobe.com/in/acrobat/kb/end-of-support-acrobat-xi-reader-xi.html

Hope it will help.
