InDesign Accessibility Checker feature
I use Indesign to create ADA compliant documents. I constantly have to go between InDesign and Acrobat. It would be more productive if the accessibility features in Acrobat were included in InDesign. It would also be nice to have a built in color checker included in Indesign.
Is there a plug in available??

Actually, I created one for InDesign for this very reason. Was so frustrated between going back and forth. Reach out to me on LinkedIn and I will give you the URL Not sure I am allowed to post it here. Here is a video of it in action https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dj2-rlpJ3mE

All visual design should be accessible. This is becoming more and more of a compliance requirement. Adobe needs to enable accessibility compliant design. Checking colour contrast is fundamental to this.

Or at least a way to put the pdf export tagging information on items independently, not only in a paragraph style 🙏🙏

A color contrast checker, color blindness checker within InDesign would be very helpful. I am not usually connected to the internet so going over to Color.adobe.com is not a solution.
Having the Accessibility Checker feature that was shown at Adobe Max is something we need like yesterday!

Updated features would be a blessing to both InDesign users and every single person in the world! Important stuff!

A color contrast checker built in to InDesign would be a great help.

This is a very broad request. I think we need to determine what the feature would actually check for. For example, I want the "color blindness" preview, such as the one in Illustrator.
Also, we should have an easy way to check to see if all images have alt tags.
Bevi's list in the comments below is very good, too.

This is becoming an essential feature. ASAP please Adobe.

an inflight check for accessibility would be great. A simple text v background contrast checker would be really useful too.

Switching between ID and Acrobat to check accessibility is a time waster. Please add this feature.

This little gem of a fix would relieve me of a lot of frustration.

Adobe is the originator of the PDF and PDF reader. You really should be leading the charge for accessible PDF documents!!

Adding my voice to this.
Accessibility should be a priority. Microsoft Word has had an accessibility checker since 2010.
I have come across a plugin out there, but it required a subscription worth hundreds of dollars a year.

I can’t believe this isn’t a thing already!

This would be great. Something similar to Stark for XD to run in InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator.
