CRITICAL BUG: Link Alternative text is NOT accessible (07_11_23)
Link Alternative text is not accessible -- the latest version of Acrobat is not creating an /Alt entry in the Tag Element when you add alternative text using the Link Alternative text box. Therefore, alternative text added with version 2023.003.20215 Acrobat DC Pro will not be read by a screen reader or other AT. Previous versions of Acrobat created an /Alt entry in the Tag Element when Alternative text was added to a Link Tag. This version does not.
What is the purpose of providing an Alternate Description for Links field if it will not be accessible to AT? If there is a purpose then you should note to users that "this field will not be accessible to AT".
