The way to do it is what I am telling you to do. Custom key on the Xobject
dictionary. That is how it has been done for 20 years now.
The Alt element is for use in helping users who require assistive technology
(such as blind users). Putting your value in there will screw them up :(

Righto, I'll get right on that. ;-)
Is there not a way to tag an object in any way so that I can pull it later?

Jason, using the Alt for an image is NOT the right way to accomplish what you
want.
You should just put a custom key of your own choosing on each Xobject that you
wish to "mark". This would be a second class key (as described in ISO
32000-1:2008) and you'll need to register your second class extension with ISO.
But that's just formality…

Subject: [iText-questions] Tagging content
Would the new accessibility api be appropriate for tagging an /XObject (ie
image) so that it can later be retrieved by test automation? Or is there
something else?
I built 5.4.0 from svn, and added accessibleAttribute to image:
image.setAccessibleAttribute(PdfName.ALT, new PdfString("image1"));
but then don't see anything new when I open it up (using rups and hunting
around with my own code).
We embed multiple jpg and svg, which we generate, into our documents. And then
have junit tests that try to find the object and assert content is as expected.
I'm able to parse out the svg/jpg from pdf no problem, but am not able to
identify which instance I have. Would like to tag them during pdf generation
so that I can extract by that tag during pdf testing.
