Problem Description:
Use the cfhtmltopdf functionality does not generate a pdf which passes Adobe Acrobats PDF Accessibility checker.  There is a current bug tracker, https://tracker.adobe.com/#/view/CF-3734792, marked as 'Fixed' but this is not fixed. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Build variable w/ HTML w/ an image tag that has the 'alt' attribute set 
2. Use cfhtmltopdf to generate a PDF file.
3. Run through Adobe Acrobat accessibility checker.

Actual Result:
1. Fails accessibility b/c image tag isn't "tagged"
2. Fails accessibility checker b/c "language" attribute not included.  CF 2016 support the language attribute but not CF 11.  Will CF 11 be patched?

Expected Result:
1. Pass accessibility checker. 

Any Workarounds:
None

PDF Document and Accessibility report attached. If raw HTML is required let me know but I can assure you the HTML is constructed properly w/ alternate text.

Hi Kailash, CF-3734792 is the true original ticket, marked Fixed but not completely. CF-3864467 is the new original, created by Nimit b/c Adobe apparently didn't want to re-open the true original and fix it completely. History: https://tracker.adobe.com/#/view/CF-3734792 (true original) https://tracker.adobe.com/#/view/CF-3818467 (duplicate) https://tracker.adobe.com/#/view/CF-3864467 (new original; filed by Nimit b/c original wasn't fixed completely) https://tracker.adobe.com/#/view/CF-3910367 (duplicate) https://tracker.adobe.com/#/view/CF-4188979 (duplicate) https://tracker.adobe.com/#/view/CF-4203475 (duplicate) CF-4188979 is definitely not an original of anything. Can you please re-open *CF-3864467? And CF-3910367, CF-4188979 and CF-4203475 should be duplicates of _that_. Thanks! -Aaron
