SUMMARY
Images need to include alt texts to make them accessible for blind people.
Screen readers can then read the alt texts to users. Additionally, for sighted
readers, the alt text can be shown when hovering over an image. 


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. create a PDF document with an image, e.g. using LibreOffice, add alt text to
that image and export it as a PDF
2. open the document in Okular
3. note how there is no alt text anymore, neither read out by a screen reader
nor visible on hovering

OBSERVED RESULT
no alt text

EXPECTED RESULT
an accessible document
