The three common issues causing this failure under the Alternative Text category of the Acrobat checker tool are hyperlinks without the <Link - OBJR> tag, Table parent tags with Alternative text, and Paragraph tags with form tags which have null Alt text.
Resolving the Issues
Links without <Link - OBJR> tags are resolved by:
Select the individual Error in the checker list to determine the location of the hyperlink.
Right-click the Parent <Link> tag and select Find from the context-sensitive list.
Search for Unmarked Links, and select the Find button until the appropriate link is selected.
Select the Tag Element button.
Another step to take is to ensure the underline for the link is not in the tag tree (artifact it).
Other content such as Tables or Tag structure which requires a Parent tag are resolved by:
Right-click the parent tag, such as <Table>,in the tag tree.
Select Properties.
Remove any text in the Alternative Text field.
