Use images XMP Metadata as Alternative Text

I would like to use the information in the images metadata, specifically the Description field and use it as the Alternate Text for the images within a PDF.

Is there a way to do this? Can it be done with a plug-in?

Thanks!

Mike

Yes, this would be possible with a plug-in.

Actually, there is already a place in PDF for "AltText" - it's called (believe it or not) AltText, and it's part of the structure/tagging present in PDF since 1.4 used for accessibility.
