I have been using the InDesign Online Publishing tool for some time now and hoping that accessibility would be a priority. I work for the County Government Agency and produce Annual Reports, Strategic Reports and much more and they all need to be fully compliant. I just published a Disability Access Report and didn't realize that Screen Readers can't read the text. I tried saving with multiple different Export setting and nothing worked. I did some digging and apparently the Publisher changes the text to SVG which isn't readable. So, now I have to figure out a 3rd party solution. Can someone tell me if I'm just doing something wrong, or that this feature will be added today (or whenever they will be added).
Thank you.

I love making interactive documents with Adobe Indesign and publish them online. However, with the Accessibility guidelines I cannot make them anymore for my clients.

It's 2023! Accessibility needs to be a priority. This is an absolutely critical requirement. Please tell us what you're doing about it, Adobe...

Publish online has been available for a long time, accessibility (in particular screen reader support) is now an absolute necessity and should have been added a long time ago.

I too require outputs that are compliant with Sec 508. This page makes it seem like as long as you incorporate the alt tags in the indesign file, the HTML output would contain the accessibility features (when you export to html).

However, it does not currently specify about the "publish online" function itself, so I'm guessing you would have to do an html export? Can anyone clarify?

Agreed, we need Publish online to have accessibility features otherwise we won't be able to sell it to our clients... it is a major down.

Is it not possible yet? Can anyone from adobe confirm?

Can anyone at Adobe let us know if this is even being worked on? It is super important.

Ditto that. Making publish online have a feature that would pull headlines, text and images to be screen readable and meet web content accessibility guidelines 2.0 would make it invaluable for higher education and government agencies with piles of content waiting for this online upgrade.

I coordinate publications for a regional office of a federal government agency. I'd love to use Publish Online but am not able to until the product is compliant with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act--echoing the other comments here. It was really cool to see Publish Online at AdobeMAX this week. Sure would love to have something like that with accessibility features!

There are two kinds of people in the world--those with disabilities and those who do not have them *yet*. Any one of us could need these features a year from now. Providing them now for those who do is the right thing to do! Thank you, InDesign Team for working on this!

My company is requiring all web-based content be 508 compliant.
We have great hope of expanding our us of online publishing.
Are you working to make it 508 compliant in future updates?
