Hi, When we generate PDFs with PDF/UA-1 enabled (as specified in the fop.xconf file), <fo:basic-link> elements generate <link> tags in the PDF with alt text automatically set to "No alternate text specified." This causes 508 compliance issues since screen readers read this alt text instead of the specified link text. We can work around this by specifying the desired link text in the fox:alt-text attribute of the <fo:basic-link> element. That said, it seems as if we shouldn't have to specify alt text for a link if the link text is descriptive and it was our understanding that the fox:alt-text attribute was intended for non-text elements such as images. Has anyone else encountered this issue?
