How to apply alt text to .eps that contains text already
hi,
i'm hoping obvious 1 it's driving me mad!
i'm working on making pdf accessible in indesign 6. has lots of graphs in .eps format contain random bits of text (axis labels , percents etc). when tag these figures in indesign , add alt text, when pdf exported screen reader read alt text content of .eps, confusing cannot see file. want pdf recognise alt text image, , not text within eps itself. if tag artefect ignores whole thing, i'm stumped!
does know how this?
thanks.
well if me make copy of eps files , store them somewhere safe in folder had word "editable" in name. open each of eps files in working folder , convert text paths. cause labels not text anymore.
then when open indesign document allow update links , viola! no more text being picked out of eps files.
that do. although work people cringe @ idea of converting text paths. because can't edit text anymore once that. hence reason mention making copy of eps files , storing them somehwere safe if need edit text have file can with.
