I've watched this a few times. Always helpful when I come across problems with links created by Word then saved as PDF. Thanks for your work!
Good to hear it's helpful! If you run into any problems that you need help with, feel free to let me know and I will create a video just for you
Super helpful video, thanks! Acrobat DC's tag properties panel now have an option for Alternate Text for Images and Alternate Text for Links. Do you know if it's okay to use the as marked? Because the Commonlook Validator puts a warning that the link doesn't have alt text unless it's put in the Alt Text for Images box instead of the links, and this seems like a fairly new change.
This is a great question. That feature is a new feature and I swear it does change depending on the day. The fail that you might be getting could be related to a menu item using the PreFlight option where you can actually give the alt text for any link annotation throughout the document all at once versus having in the individual properties menu of the tag itself. But to your point I have seen different results based on different samples
Thanks a lot! what would you recommend for researchers publishing papers, following citation styles that require to write the link directly as text. how would you remediate the tagged annotations error of link elements?
In this particular case - I would still tag the links as you normal for things like this. Its sorta grey area.
I am new to accessibility and your videos are really helpful. I do have a question to ask. When I create a PDF from Word doc and run the accessibility checker on PDF I encounter errors related to character encoding. Could you explain the cause and how to rectify the same?
Are you workin with non english files?
@@TheAccessibilityGuy no, I am not
Thanks for all your videos! I noticed on this video that when you created a PDF from the Word doc (at 0:20), you didn't choose the "Create PDF and Run Action" button and then "Make Accessible" you just clicked on the "Create PDF" button - is there a reason for that? Is there an actual difference between the two? Thank you!
The main goal I was trying to emphasize was maintaining the structure of the word doc when creating the PDF. I also like to have full control - so that Create PDF and Run Action seems to be an additional automation step - which doesnt always maintain what you did in word. In short - the action wizard will OVERWRITE your hardwork that you applied in Word.
Thanks for the reply! That's interesting to hear, I'll have to keep that in mind. Also, one other question - how do you expand a tag using keyboard shortcuts? It seems like you're expanding your tags without clicking on them and I was just curious how you did that? Thanks again!@@TheAccessibilityGuy
The arrow keys my friend. @@peterfraser1539
Ah, the right (open) and left (close) arrow keys! Yes, I was looking everywhere to try and figure it out! Thank you very much! @@TheAccessibilityGuy
i just want a clickable link when mouse click thats it
The fastest method to simply add a link is to select the text. You want to make a link and right, click it and then select create link
