Thread: Add image description text to PDFs

If you are going to save files as PDFs using the Microsoft plug-in Office2007. it is a good idea to add alternative text to pictures. This means that anyone reading the document with images disabled or with a screen reader will know what was there. Right-click on the image and then left-click on Size. Click on theAlt Text tab and then in the large text box. Add some descriptive text to describe the image and then click on the Close button. Click on the Office button at the top left-hand comer ofthe Word window, then Save As and then on PDF or XPS. Finally, select a location for the file and then choose PDF in the Save as Type menu. Click on Publish to save the file.
