ALT Text not appearing in group
InDesign 2020
Issue: I have a screenshot with alt text included (typed in the Object Export Options dialogue). I then have a simple red box (rectangle tool, no fill, 2pt stroke) highlighting a section of that screenshot. When I group those objects, and export a tagged PDF, I get an error in Acrobat stating that no alt text exists.
Expected result: Alt text should appear.
Actual result: No alt text is present, or the assigned alt text is not recognized and is flagged by Acrobat's accessibility checker.
This issue did not exist with ID 2019.

Pixelation of transparent .png's mostly using logos when exporting to PDF
Used a high quality logo, even took the time to replace it a second time. Same result.
Creates a pixelated black outline, even after replacing it a couple of times.1 vote -
profil
Bonjour, Le souci est que sur BR mes fichiers Indd et les exports pour impression en PDF ne contiennent aucune mention de "Profil Colorimétrique", alors que mes logiciels Adobe ont bien la même gestion de couleur à savoir : PREPRESSE EUROPE > COATED FOGRA39
J'ai beau Attribuer ou Convertir en profil cela ne fonctionne pas !
Sinon, pouvez-vous me donner la manipulation à faire ?
Merci
Cela est très ennuyeux pour les imprimeurs.1 vote -
Exporting a PDF from Indesign is creating Form Xobject containers for everything.
This is happening to me now and is messing everything up for 508 accessibility remediation. Copied this from another user. "The latest version of InDesign exports PDF's in which most all the tagged content is in an Xobject container, making accessibility remediation MUCH MORE DIFFICULT. This is a huge step backwards. Attached are two examples, from the same client, annual reports- last year's was fine, this year's has all the xobject issues. Please advise, help, fix, something!!!"

Artifact Tagging
InDesign now ignores it half the time when I designate an object as an artifact in the object export options panel. I run an accessibility check on the PDF and those objects come up as errors in the alternate text check, and I have to manually desginate them all as artifacts within Acrobat. I know this is a new issue, because I've been working with the same template for several years and locked down all the objects that were supposed to remain the same month to month. Never has a problem until the 2020 update.

Exporting tagged PDF from InDesign 2020 but shows up as not tagged in Acrobat
Using InDesign 15.1.1 and the newest Acrobat Pro DC
I'm creating an accessible document using InDesign and when I export to PDF and open in Acrobat, it's telling me the document isn't tagged. I've made sure the check box is ticked for create Tagged PDF. Not sure what's going wrong?

Paragraph-Borders are not wrapped in appropriate container - InDesign 15.1.2 (macos)
To reproduce add a border to a paragraph style (not the frame, the paragraph) apply this to an existing paragraph and export to PDF. In Acrobat use preflight to check for pdf/ua compliance. You will get an error message telling there is a content that is neither an artifact nor a tagged content.
To fix this in Acrobat, you have to select the "path" elements in navigation pane and apply an apropriate parent container. Reason for this behavior is, that InDesign places the path that renders the border directly in the structure without a container element. And this does not…

Really, ACTUALLY fix the form field export problem. This is NOT fixed as of August 2020
This bug should not be closed. The issue with exporting form fields and having them show up as tagged in Acrobat is not fixed. Was not in CC2018, isn't still now.

Exporting accessible PDF – wrong BoundingBox
Background:
An accessible PDF needs for all graphics and pictures a boundingbox.
This is used by AT e.g. to set a focus to a visual impaired user.
Using the PDF export a boundingbox is defined for all linked images.Problem:
Often the boundingbox does not fit to the visible area.
AT user get wrong information, in fact the file is not accessible.Reason:
Only a part of the linked asset is visibily placed in InDesign, the rest is cropped.Result:
The boundingbox is bigger then the visible area.Workaround:
You can fix this in Acrobat theoretically, but this is nor…1 vote -
When exporting PDF/X1-a:2003, Indesign creates a PDF 1.3 instead of PDF 1.4. Why?
When exporting PDF/X1-a:2003, Indesign creates a PDF 1.3 instead of PDF 1.4. Why? The standard has lifted the Version to PDF 1.4 for the :2003 (over the PDF 1.3 in the :2001).
How do I change that (if that is not a bug in Indesign)?2 votes -
InDesign 2020 pdfs not exporting correctly

The attached screenshot shows error message and the pdf has dropped an image and some copy.

Exported interactive PDF does not honour reading order.
1 – InDesign 2020 15.0
2 – Have standard copy with headings and body copy with PDF export tags applied (H1, H2, P etc). Add images between sections of text. Drag elements into the Articles panel in the correct reading order and tick 'Use for Reading Order in Tagged PDF.
3 – Images should be in the right order
4 – Images are not in the right order. All figures are in a <Art> tag. This was not an issue in InDesign 2019.
5 – Order should be first block of text, image (1) and then second block of text…11 votesFix for this issue is now available in the latest update of InDesign 2020 – that is, InDesign 15.0.1
In the Creative Cloud Desktop application, click on the Updates section on the left. You should be able to see the Update available for InDesign. Please update your InDesign application to this version to try out the fix.

file will not export to pdf
Some Indesign files will not export to pdf while other Indesign 2020 files export fine. An alert shows but there is no detail in the alert. There does not seem to be any difference between the files that export and those that don't. Indesign 2020 does not accept file names that are too long.

PDF Export issues when INDD contains large EPS file
Using InDesign CC 2020 ver 15.1.1
Exporting an INDD file that contains a link to an EPS image that is 26.8MB. The image is used on multiple occasions through out the piece.
Would expect a PDF on Smallest File Size preset to be smaller than a PDF created at Press Quality preset.
No special steps reproduce this, simply export to PDF using the presets. Did not adjust the downsampling sizes. But when I did this didn't solve the issue.
The reality was that exporting a PDF on Press Quality comes out at 37.6MB and on Smallest File Size is 56.3MB.
