Adding another voice of support for this being a feature in Affinity Publisher. Accessibility features are critical to PDFs for many companies (as a designer, I am watching this become more and more of a requirement for my clients). Alt text for images is one of the most basic ways to support these principles.

I've been just looking up the accessibility features for PDFs created in Affinity for a client, and I'm so surprised that this is the only post about it! I've completely convinced my client to go with Publisher over InDesign, but this one feature may be a deal-breaker that'll force us to go with InDesign. It's not just government documents that need accessibility features, accessibility is a major ethical component for many consumer-facing brands who are demanding this with their websites online and in other digital documents. Affinity, please look into this!
