Re: Issues with remediating PDF documents

We are using Acrobat to fix the issues.

Here they are:
1) "Other elements alternate text - fails" It highlights the items in the
table of contents.
2) "Tagged form fields-failed"- However, we added the tags and still have
the same errors.
3) "Other elements alternate text-Failed"- It highlight some of the images
included in the document. But those images have alt text.
