How AxisRemedy handles it

Tested by the app. AxisRemedy tests this condition itself. For each document it records passed, failed or not applicable, and for every failure the object and the page.

What the check covers

Tests widget annotations. A non-blank /TU on the widget or on a parent field, or a non-blank /Alt on the structure element that holds the widget, satisfies it. Widgets that are hidden (Hidden or NoView flag) or lie entirely outside the page's crop box are not counted.

Repairs that target it

• Form fields get a Form element and a tooltip label (/TU)

Repairs are optional. The few that could change how a page looks, such as embedding a missing font, need your explicit consent.
