: Indesign CS6: Cannot add alt tags to images I am developing a flyer that will be distributed as a PDF, and our requirement is that it be "Section 508" compliant, that is, readable by a screen

I am developing a flyer that will be distributed as a PDF, and our requirement is that it be "Section 508" compliant, that is, readable by a screen reader. I am trying to add alt tags to meet this requirement, but when I go to Object -> Object Export Options and click on the Alt Text tab, the Alt Text Source pull-down menu is greyed out and does not allow me to do anything.

Does anyone have any idea of what is wrong here?

I took two steps to resolve my issue, although I am not sure that the first step was necessary.


I trashed my InDesign settings per the guidance here: forums.adobe.com/thread/526990 I discovered that I was incorrect in trying to set the alt tag on the image itself; like @joonas suggested above, the frame must be selected for alt tags, and not the image itself.
