Suzanne,

Without seeing the chart in question it is difficult to come up with THE answer. But I think that some PDFs I've seen done in a creative and accessible manner, will have the various elements as perhaps list items, headings and so on. While the chart may remain the same visually, the screen reader user can navigate the components in another way. I've also seen where the ALT text will provide the equivalent information provided in a bar graph or pie chart while other PDFs will have those various components as list items.
