PDFMaker Word to PDF fails to convert ALL alt text

New Here ,
Mar 21, 2025 Mar 21, 2025

In Word, when I use the Acrobat ribbon Create PDF (PDFMaker), alt text is only carried over in image 2 (out of 15 with alt text in Word). If I use the built in Word File > Save as, all 15 are in the .pdf. Is this a new / never fixed bug?

@Boatguypat2 I always feel relying on Word's "Save as PDF" seems to be the most reliable solution for preserving alt text.
