1. BUG: PDF Page Information does not display non-Arabic folios

   The 'Page Information' on exported PDFs does not display non-Arabic folios.

   See attached screenshot for example. Roman numerals are used for page numbering. The page name ('folio') is shown correctly in Acrobat as 'ii', but the Page Information on the PDF incorrectly shows the Arabic numeral '2'. This happens regardless of the PDF export settings.

   If the same document is printed to a PostScript file and Distilled, the Page Information correctly displays the roman numerals.

7. Wrong use of German term »Nutzen« in the PDF export options dialogue

   The term »Nutzen« is not used correctly as this usually refers to how many units of a design you put onto a printing sheet.

   What it should read in the options is simply »Doppelseite« or »Doppelseite fortlaufend« or »Doppelseite (Deckblatt)« or »Doppelseite fortlaufend (Deckblatt). The term »Nutzen« should be omitted completely.

10. Nested anchored tables are tagged as artifacts in PDF

    1. Adobe InDesign, v.16.4
    2. Create three text frames, with a table in the third. Anchor the frame with the table into the second frame, then anchor the second frame into the first. Style and create Articles for an accessible PDF. Export to an Interactive PDF.
    3. Table would appear tagged and in same order as it was anchored in the INDD file.
    4. Table is set as an artifact and does not appear in the tag tree at all.

11. Table borders, strokes, artifacted in InDesign problem

    InDesign ver. 16.1 (2021): Table borders and strokes created on a separate layer and artifacted in InDesign are not tagged as artifacts when converted to PDF.
    Close to a hundred "Path Object" errors flagged by the PAC 3 Accessibility Checker which we are required to use. The problem is none of these borders and strokes can be accessed in Acrobat with the Reading Order tool and therefore cannot be marqueed as artifacts. They are simply “not available” in Acrobat, yet PAC 3 flags them as “Path Object Not Tagged” errors.
    ~ Replacing tables with paragraph borders (on single layer) in InDesign results in same issue in Acrobat - paragraph borders are tagged as errors by PAC 3 and cannot be accessed.
    ~ Removing all Table Borders, Row Strokes and Column Strokes in InDesign Table Options does not help. PAC 3 still flags "non-existent" Row Strokes/borders as “Path Object Not Tagged” errors.

    There seems to be an issue caused by Exporting PDFs created by Steinberg Dorico. The expected result can be seen in the file:

13. indd 2022 - black font seperation incorrect in pdf export with some settings

    after the update to indd 2022 (which some idiot client editor did in the middle of a magazine before saving and thus up-versioning half the files) I have problems with pdf export. Since acrobat/distiller seems not to have been updated at the same time, I assume the problem is with indd.

    When exporting for print, indd exports black print as rich black - regardless of the indd settings - when the export to pdf settings /output / convert to destination (profile) is set.
    If I export with / convert to destination (preserve numbers) then black is exported correctly. This is obviously bunk.
    thw workaround (half a day to find this) is to export with convert to destination (preserve numbers). Caveat all images needed to be converted manually before export, as a specific output profile was necessary.

    needless to say everything worked as expected before the 'update'.

    Seperation is determined with Acrobat CC preflight ink separations.

    I can reproduce the error with a new document, with text cmyk 0 0 0 100 /adobe preset output all blacks accurately /, exported to pdf converted to ISO coated.
    With "preserve numbers" the separations in Acrobat are correct, without preserve numbers rich black is exported.

14. Text formatting can break backlinking endnote texts to endnote refs when exported to PDF (Print)

    Hi together,
    to explain the issue:

    Sometimes backling from endnote text to endnote reference number will not work.

    To make it work at all I found the following minimum requirements for PDF export:

    PDF Export (Print)

    Compatibility: Acrobat 5 (PDF 1.4)

    [x] Create Tagged PDF

    [x] Hyperlinks enabled

    Even with that sometimes only linking from the endnote reference number to the endnote text will work, but not backlinking from the endnote number in the endnote text to the reference in the main text.

    What I found:

    If you want linking back from the endnote number at the start of the endnote text you have to be careful with formatting of that endnote number which in fact is a special character.

    WHAT WORKED:

    The endnote is using a paragraph style without any specialities. No overrides, no character styles applied:

    RESULT: No issue with linking back and forth between endnote reference number and number in the endnote text.

    Now I had the idea to format that special character, the number that starts the endnote text with a character style.

    RESULT: Linking from the endnote reference number to the endnote text worked. BACKLINKING DID NOT WORK.

    MORE DETAILS IN THIS THREAD:

    Endnotes not exporting with links to PDF
    Mr_Wonderstuff, Nov 18, 2020

    https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign/endnotes-not-exporting-with-links-to-pdf/m-p/11628582#M40545...

    https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign/endnotes-not-exporting-with-links-to-pdf/m-p/11628643#M40546...

    WHAT BROKE THE BACKLINKING:

    [1] Character style applied through a GREP Style

    [2] Character style applied directly as formatting

    [3] Properties directly applied as overrides without a character style

    WHAT FINALLY WORKED:

    [4] Character style applied as nested style through the applied paragraph style:

    Character style to 1 tabulator character

    I did not test on to eliminate other factors.

    Maybe one of the used properties are the real culprit?

    What I defined in that character style and also tried to apply as character override was:

    Character width and height: 70%

    Baseline Offset: 2 Pt

    Fill Color: "C=100 M=0 Y=0 K=0"

15. PDF-Roll-Over STILL BROKEN in 2021 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    You already know the issue for years but you do not solve it.

    If you make a interactive pdf with indesign and have some buttons with a state change on roll-over the alternate roll-over-layout does get stuck sometimes and the layout does not revert to normal automatically.

    This is very embarrassing when pitching a client and he just thinks you are too stupid to do it. But it's Adobe's fault. FIX IT ALREADY IT HAS BEEN YEARS!!!!!!!!

18. tagged annotations - failed!

    Indesign 15.1.3

    Right now InDesign is USELESS for creating accessible pdfs, and they are the one thing I MUST create these days! It's the same every time, however you tag objects, artefacts etc they come up as tagged annotations failed. This means that the document CAN'T BE PUBLISHED. InDesign is a useless waste of money. It is rubbish in this day and age.

    This needs fixing! The world wants accessible documents now!

19. Workfront Integration

    I'm having an impossible time exporting PDFs from InDesign and uploading directly to Workfront using the Adobe Workfront Plug-in. No matter what settings I use, when I export directly to WF, the PDF is corrupt (images/text drops out, text frames duplicate on top of each other, etc.)...but when I export a PDF to a local folder, then upload that existing PDF using the WF Plug-in, the PDF is fine. See the examples below - the item on the left is the PDF output directly to WF, and the item on the right is output using the exact same settings, output to the desktop, then uploaded as a new proof version using the plug-in:

    Workfront Support says it's an InDesign export issue, not a plug-in issue because we recently had a couple of files drop out images and text from print-ready PDFs. I question that response because those were isolated to a single user's files and used standard vendor presets that we have never had problems with before. In my testing, I have tried exporting different files from our server and from my local drive, I have tried all the default PDF export presets as well as custom presets, and in every case the PDF exported from the WF plug-in is more than 50% corrupt.  Of course, we could export to folders and use the plug-in just to upload the PDFs but we do that already (create the PDFs and upload to WF) - the whole point of the plug-in is to streamline that process, but we can't do that unless the PDFs are clean, and they're not when we export/upload via the plug-in. I've also attached the PDFs - the "TEST" pdf is the one created straight from InDesign, then uploaded via the plug-in, the other is the pdf generated by the plug-in. I really appreciate any help I can get with this.

20. Problem with linked Mathtype *.EPS equations after last update in Indesign 16.3. Equations are destroyed in exported PDF for printing.

    I have finished book with 1.5k of equations and i am unable to export PDF for printing. (see attached files) HEEEELP! All Mathtype equations use system fonts (Times New Roman & Symbol) and they are EPS files linked in InDesign. If i open that equation file in MathType or Illustrator everything is OK. I can send whatever files you want.
