I get to process a rather large population of PDFs that are CAD output. Quote:But I am getting some push from higher-ups that the mouse-over is the important function, and that the Read Out Loud is not a sufficient test.The mouse-over is insignificant "eye-candy".

But I am getting some push from higher-ups that the mouse-over is the important function, and that the Read Out Loud is not a sufficient test. Since the alt-text is made for readers, it seems to me that it being readable by a reader is really what we need to achieve, and that the mouse-over function isn't all that important. And when I use the Read Out Loud function in adobe, it reads the alt-text correctly. One other part - If I open the file in Acrobat, and go into the Touchup Reading Order, it shows the alt-text is in place for all the images. But that area does not react to the mouse-over either. But since it was the upper half, I figured that was the most likely area for the mouse to touch when somone is looking at the file. When I added the alt-text info, there were times when only part of the image would highlight (always the upper half), so I can understand that perhaps the whole image did not get tagged. There are some images that don't work in either version (may be vector based), some that work in the component files but not in the larger version. In the larger version there are images where the mouse-over test works, some where it doesn't. We needed to have both versions on our website, and I had no urge to do this twice, so I worked on the smaller files, then compiled them into the larger version.

One is the full 438 page document, the other is component files of the larger version.

Some our images may well be vector graphics, others are not.
