1. 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.

   I'm using InDesign 16.4 and MacOS 11.6

2. Disable automatic sect-tags on PDF export

   When exporting a tagged PDF, InDesign automatically creates Sect-Tags for each story. I would like to be able to disable this feature on export for the following reasons:

   1. As far as I know, they are of limited value for screen reader users. The content is usually already well structured by means of an appropriate heading structure.
   2. It is very difficult to integrate figures into a story in a semantically correct/meaningful way. When anchoring them in the text, they will be nested in p-tags, which is according to PDF/UA not correct semantically. Hence, I avoid creating stories and use the article panel for setting up the reading order. This makes the sect-tags very redundant though.
   3. Often, pre-edits of the tagging in Acrobat Pro are necessary. All those Sect-tags bloat up the tagging tree unnecessarily and obfuscate the actual tagging structure. I want to be able to see heading and p tags without expanding large amounts of Sect-tags.

   For these reasons, I suggest to add a checkbox "Disable automatic creation of sect-tags" on export for interactive PDF.

4. 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.

5. Hyperlink alt text is ignored in the latest version of Indesign

   When creating or editing a hyperlink there is an option to add alt text. If you add alt text to your link and export an accessible PDF the alt text is ignored. I have a document with a ton of hyperlinks that all need alt text which we have added but don't come through because of this bug. Now I'm forced to add them again to the PDF.

   CLOSED  ·  AdminRavi Kiran (Admin, Adobe InDesign) responded

   According to the ISO-32000, the Hyperlinks are NOT supposed to be populated into the Alt-Text field. They should be entered into the Contents Key (see attachment) instead.
   InDesign currently does place them in the correct place [see screenshot attached].
   While someone using Acrobat can also add them to the Alt-text field, this is technically less correct than entering into the Contents key but either will pass an Accessibility checker.

   InDesign implemented this correctly based on the above information (provided by Accessibility experts, like Dax Castro, thanks Dax).

6. PDF Export causing font/item misalignment

   InDesign 16.2.1 x64
   There seems to be an issue caused by Exporting PDFs created by Steinberg Dorico. The expected result can be seen in the file:

   Hancock - Organ Album AJ - Toccata PDF from Dorico no issues

   look at measures 25 and 31 for comparision to

   Hancock - Organ Album AJ - Toccata PDF from inDesign issues

   there is a clear misalignment of stems with noteheads and tails. This only happens when you Export out of inDesign, the PDF created by Dorico is as it should be.
   Any idea why this is happening and can you do anything about it?

7. 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!!!!!!!!

13. 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!

14. PDF Exporting to the Artifact Folder

    Computer Info: MacBook Pro 13 inch, 2018, OS: Big Sur 11.5.2
    Indesign Info: CC 16.3.2

    Lately, InDesign defaults all my exports to the "artifact" Folder on my computer (see screenshot). I don't know why. It seems like a bug. Even if in a session, I have already exported from the same file elsewhere or exported from a different file elsewhere, every time export it always defaults to that folder.

    The only thing is because I run the files off the server. But, if that is the case it used to work and has recently stopped working. Please help.

    indesign export to pdf unusable for Thai

    Basically all the diacritics are messed up, regardless of font used. The PDF looks fine but the text if copied from the PdF is garbled.
    This is in 16.2.1 (2021). It was working in 2019.

18. 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.

19. CC2021: Alternate text for hyperlinks

    I am reposting this from https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/38972206-cc2020-alternate-text-for-hyperlinks

    Because despite Adobe's claim it is STILL NOT FIXED IN 2021 16.2.1

    "In CC2020 a new function for writing alternate text for links was introduced.
    Using this function and generating a PDF Leeds to wrong PDF notation. The alt text in PDF is presented by alt text, which is forbidden in the PDF world, where alt text only should be used for non text elements, e.g. pictures. By presenting only the alt text the accessibility is lost – this is against the goal to hav a better output!

    A correct output would lead to a content entry.

    Note: Alt text for links is under discussion, as such alt text is not present for all users (it would be read out loud, but you can't read it) – this is not about equal access."

    Because this was working and now it is not it opens my company up to legal actions under the Americans with Disabilities Act—FIX IT ASAP!

    It has been implemented this way as per Accessibility Requirements.

    According to Accessibility Requirements, Alt Text should be placed under the /K Array in the Dictionary – please see attachment for more information.
