Ability to add alternate text to long hyperlinks
One of the suggested techniques for complying with WCAG 2.0 AA is to provide alternate text for long urls so that screen readers read the alt text rather than the url when tabbing through. This can only be done in acrobat at the moment. Which means it has to be done every time a PDF is created. We regularly amend our files and have many documents with many long (2 line) urls so it is going to be very time consuming to do this every time we create a PDF. I appreciate one way round it is to have human readable text with a hyperlink behind it but some of our users require us to have the full url present. Thanks

Agreed. A necessary upgrade to comply with current accessibility standards and legislation. Rather than having to commit alt text in Acrobat.
