Pleased to let everyone know that Adobe has released a quick patch to
correct the error in PDF Maker that left off Alt Text in PDFs exported
from MS Word.

Choose the patch for your version of Acrobat here:

Look for version 23.003.20215 (June 21, 2023)

For those affected by this bug, see this notice on the Adobe Community
Forums. It's also where you can thank Adobe's engineering team for
getting to the bug so quickly. (I know, they shouldn't have let the bug
in from the start, but...)
