1. Object Export Options / addig Alt Text issues

   1) InDesign 21.5 on MacBook Pro Tahoe 26.6.1

   I'm experiencing various issues when adding Alt Text to images. The longer I work with the Object Export Options dialog, the more likely it becomes that one or more of the following issues will occur:

   A) The Object Export Options dialog is open and an image is selected. The existing Alt Text is highlighted and a new text is entered, but instead of replacing the existing Alt Text, the new text is inserted into a new text frame on the page.

   B) An object is selected and the Object Export Options dialog is open. Alt Text is entered, and then the next object is selected. However, the text displayed in the Alt Text field does not update, even though the newly selected object has different Alt Text assigned or no Alt Text at all. The Object Export Options dialog must be closed and reopened before it reflects the correct Alt Text.

   C) No object is selected and the Object Export Options dialog is opened. A graphic frame is then selected, but the Alt Text options remain greyed out and cannot be edited.

   D) When the Object Export Options dialog is opened with no object selected, all Alt Text-related options sometimes remain greyed out even after selecting different objects.

   Feature Requests:

   I) Generating Alt Text takes a moment, but there is no visual indication that the generation process is in progress. It is unclear whether clicking the button was successful until the generated text eventually appears. Please add a progress indicator or other visual feedback while Alt Text is being generated.

   II) Why is there no keyboard shortcut available for opening the Object Export Options dialog? It would significantly improve accessibility workflows and efficiency when adding Alt Text to large numbers of images.

2. Indesign struggling to do anything and lagging

   I haven't had a problem with Indesign when I started using it, but the more I use it the more a pain it is being. I am a university student for graphic design and we need to use Indesign to create our portfolios. It started with a little lag when trying to scroll, but now I sruggle to get into the app, it takes hours and when I finally get in the app it takes more hours to open my portfolios. Once I am finally in my portfolio and want to start doing my work, even just moving the mouse cursor slightly causes it to lag for minutes. I don't have time for this to happen. I have submissions to complete and a lot of work needs to be done. Fix the problem properly because it is on the most current version it can be and is updated. Fix this quick because I am not the only one with this problem

3. InDesign paragraph borders and rules fail PDF/UA-1 accessibility (Unmarked Content Error)

   Hello,

   I would like to report a persistent PDF/UA compliance bug regarding Paragraph Borders and Paragraph Rules exported from InDesign 21.4.1.

   [Description of the issue]
   When using the built-in "Paragraph Borders" or "Paragraph Rules" features within Paragraph Styles, InDesign fails to correctly tag or artifact the generated vector lines upon PDF export, even when the export tagging for the style is forced to a specific tag (like H2 or P) and "Create Tagged PDF" is checked.

   As a result, tools like Adobe Acrobat Preflight (PDF/UA-1 validation profile) and axesCheck return a critical compliance error: "Content neither marked as artifact nor nested within a structural element" (Unmarked Content). The vector line is exported as an independent, untagged graphical object adjacent to the text container inside the tag.

   [Steps to reproduce]
   1. Create a Paragraph Style for a heading (e.g., H2).
   2. Enable "Paragraph Border" or "Paragraph Rule" inside this style.
   3. In Export Tagging, force the PDF Tag to "H2".
   4. Export the document as an Interactive or Print PDF with "Create Tagged PDF" enabled.
   5. Run a PDF/UA-1 Preflight check in Adobe Acrobat Pro or axesCheck.

   [Expected result]
   The paragraph border/rule should be automatically integrated as an attribute of the text container or automatically nested as an <Artifact> layout element.

   [Actual result]
   The file fails PDF/UA-1 validation due to untagged content. The user has to manually use the Reading Order tool in Acrobat Pro to mark each border/rule as an artifact, which is extremely time-consuming for long documents.

   Thank you for looking into this.

4. Completely incorrect alt text for white logotypes on a dark colored background

   I got an Illustrator file with a white colored logotype. I place this in InDesign on a dark background.

   Now I use Adobes in-build alt text generator, and the text is absolutely dumb.

   In my example (I tried it with several logotypes):

   "Zwei Erwachsene sitzen an einem Tisch und spielen ein Brettspiel mit bunten Spielfiguren in einem gemütlichen Raum mit Pflanzen und Bücherregalen."

   which means in English
   "Two adults are sitting at a table playing a board game with colorful game pieces in a cozy room with plants and bookshelves."

   No issues if the logotype is black on a white background.

   Black on white = correct alt-text
   White on color = totally wrong alt-text

6. spinning wheel forever...

   Observed behavior :

   • Switching between tools is very slow (it takes several seconds before the selected tool becomes active).
   • The application continuously displays the loading indicator (spinning wheel).
   • The slowdowns occur consistently, even during simple actions such as switching tools.
   • The application appears to be constantly running a background process and never returns to normal, responsive performance.

7. Microsoft Surface Laptop vergrößert alle Bedienelemente von InDesign weil InDesign denkt, es wäre ein Tablet (wegen dem Touch Panel)

   Ich benutze ein Microsoft Surface Laptop 7 mit Qualcomm Plus ARM-Prozessor und die BETA-Version von InDesign. Beim Starten geht InDesign sofort in eine Touch-Oberfläche, weil es das Surface Laptop, das auch ein Touch-Display hat, fälschlicherweise als Tablet interpretiert. Dadurch sind alle Elemente um den Faktor ca. 500 vergrößert, so dass man keine Bedienelemente mehr erreichen kann und das lässt sich auch nicht abschalten. Ich habe eine KI gefragt, wie man das lösen könnte, aber alle Versuche scheiterten leider. Aus diesem Grund kann ich InDesign auf meinem neuen Surface Laptop nicht nutzen, obwohl ich es mir genau dafür für unterwegs gekauft hatte.
   Könnten Sie bitte die Beta-Version von Indesign auch an das Surface Laptop von Microsoft anpassen, so dass es damit als ganz normales Laptop per Maus nutzbar ist?
   Am besten wäre noch, wenn aus der Beta-version eine richtige Version für ARM-Prozessoren werden könnte.

   Vielen Dank und viele Grüße

8. Reading order of tagged PDF elements is unstable and resets when new elements are added

   Description:
   Summary

   When creating an accessible tagged PDF from InDesign, the reading order of elements in the exported PDF becomes unstable and incorrect whenever new elements are added to an existing document. The only reliable workaround is to rebuild the document from scratch with elements placed in the correct reading order from the beginning.

   Steps to reproduce

   1. Create an InDesign document with interactive form fields (text inputs and checkboxes).
   2. Set the reading order using the Articles panel ("Use for PDF tagging order").
   3. Export to tagged PDF and verify reading order with a screen reader — order is correct.
   4. Add new elements (e.g. additional checkboxes or text frames) to the existing document.
   5. Export again and test with a screen reader.

   Expected behavior

   The reading order should remain consistent and follow the Articles panel order, even after new elements are added.
   Actual behavior

   InDesign appears to apply a mix of element creation order, Articles panel order, and Tab order (keyboard navigation), producing an unpredictable result in the exported PDF. In our case, the screen reader jumped from form fields to the logo and protocol number before returning to the correct sequence.

   Workaround

   Create a new blank InDesign document and paste all elements in the correct reading order. This produces a correct result, but the fix must be reapplied every time structural changes are made to the document.
   Environment

   Version Adobe InDesign: 2026
   Verified with: screen reader testing conducted with a blind user using JAWS and NVDA; also verified via Adobe Acrobat accessibility checker and keyboard navigation (Tab key).

   Impact

   This issue significantly affects accessible PDF production workflows. Any document update requires a full rebuild of element order, which is not sustainable for documents that undergo frequent revisions.

9. Exported Interactive PDF Does Not Match Reading Order

   I've spend days establishing reading order in InDesign (reverse order in layers panel) but, when exported to interactive PDF, Acrobat is NOT matching this order.

   I have a 200-page document with nine text-based buttons in addition to other content, all carefully arranged in order on multiple parent pages, then overridden on each page of the document (to avoid the form field error in Acrobat's accessibility tests). Now I have to go through each of the 200 pages in Acrobat and fix the order.

   Despite this being report 'fixed' in InDesign 2020, it is most definitely not. When on earth are Adobe going to fix the long list of bugs in the InDesign/Acrobat accessible PDF workflow? I must have wasted weeks over the past three years trying to work around and fix the many, many issues.

11. Generative AI Alt Text generated on first image place when turned off in preferences

    M4 Mac on Sequoia 15.7.7

    When Generative AI Alt Text is turned off in preferences, after a complete preferences reset, alt text will be generated and applied to the first placed image or modified image despite the preference being turned off. This happens on a complete replacement of the folder "en_US" in the user library preferences.

    To recreate:
    1) Have someone else on another machine set their preference to have Generative AI Alt Text turned off. Send you their copy of the folder "en_US" (/Users/[user]/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign/Version 21.0)
    2) Replace your folder with the shared folder
    3) Open InDesign
    4) Place an image

    What happens:

    -On first image place or modify, Generative AI Alt Text will be generated even though it is turned off in Preferences. There will also be a pop up advertising Generative AI. This will only happen on the first image. Every image that is placed or modified after this will respect the preferences and not apply alt text. When the "en_US" folder is reset again, it will happen again.

    Why this is a problem:
    We work in an Enterprise environment where custom builds and preferences are pushed out to >1K users and a replacement of the "en_US" folder is used to troubleshoot and rebuild for users. We cannot have this feature used on our commercial products and because it looks like this is "off" in the preferences, users may not realize they introduced this into their file.

13. AI Generated Alt Text Overriding Manual Alt Text

    I have Generative AI disabled on my Mac and had manually entered alt-text on 2 images. Another user in my organisation, who had not disabled it, made some minor text amends on my file and my atl-text was overwritten.

    I feel that any image that already has alt-text manually added should not be altered by this feature.

    Also it would be good that when the feature is turned on it could have an option to only affect images added to the Articles Panel as that is the most common way of setting the tag order.

14. AI Alt-text generation german InDesign

    Since InDesign 21.2 Alttext can be generated by AI.
    Even if this does not work in a german version, the german interface for defining Alt-text looks destroyed.
    The input window is to large and has no frame on the right side.
    The text description for AI is to lang and cut off.

15. Ongoing performance issues with large InDesign files

    We’re running into frequent slowdowns and crashes when working with large InDesign documents (lots of pages, linked assets, complex styles, long text flows). It’s happening across multiple machines, not just one setup.
    At Tech Formation, we support teams that depend on InDesign for real production work, and these issues are starting to affect delivery timelines and workflows.
    It would be great to know whether this is a known issue and whether there’s any workaround or logging we can enable to help diagnose it.

16. [ID-4280504] AI Generated Alt Text overrode existing Alt Text

    Newly launched 'Automatic AI Generated Alt Text' overrode all my existing custom alt text, which is incredibly frustrating. Although it's an interesting feature it it should NOT change existing alt text. And now I have to redo it because I don't see any history of what I had.

19. Use of Paragraph Rules results in untagged PDF path elements

    InDesign 21.1

    Action: Apply Paragraph Rule

    Expected Result: Rules are tagged as artifacts when exporting to PDF

    Actual Result: The resulting path gets included in tagging, but is not tagged as an artifact. This results in errors when auditing for WCAG 2.1 compliance.

20. Accessible PDF: Linked Figures mistagging

    Linking an image in 2026 and exporting it as a tagged PDF generates an unpleasant Tag structure.
    The structure now is:
    <Figure>
    --<Link>
    ----OBJR
    --Content

    Tags inside of <Figure> will normally ignored by any assistive technology. So the Link will not be present to the end user.

    This is a change to InDesign 2025 and before, where the tagging was properly:
    < Link>
    --OBJR
    --<Figure>
    ----Content

    Please change toe behavior back to the way of InDesign 2025 an earlier.
