Other elements alt text failed

New Here ,
Nov 04, 2025 Nov 04, 2025

Hi, 

 

Trying to make my pdf web accessible, but there are several "images" that say other elements alt text failed when I run the checker. They're all decorative images or other elements, not actual images. They're not found in the content or tags panels. How can I fix?

Hi there 

 

Hope you are doing well and sorry for the trouble. 


If the accessibility checker shows “Alt text failed” for decorative images or elements that aren’t real images, it usually means those elements are not properly marked as decorative or are missing from the tag structure. As described "They're not found in the content or tags panels"

 

Go to Preferences (Ctrl,Cmd+K) > Accessibility > Select, Enable cloud based Auto tagging for accessibility > Click OK and follow the steps shared in the help page https://adobe.ly/4hJhWeA 

 

Let us know how it goes.
