PDF export wrong PDF version
We are using InDesign server 18 to export InDesign files to PDF. The last months (since november, when we updated from 17 to 18) we are noticing that we have problems with disappearing transparancy.
After a lot of research we found out that although the joboptions have the settings to export version 1.3, the server exports to version to a PDF 1.4. The PDF standard that is used is PDF X-1a:2003. This seems why transparancy is disappearing. I cannot reproduce this manually with the local version of InDesign I think because there is no possibility to use PDF…

Package-PDF and Export-PDF create different results
Mac OS Monterey 12.6 / Adobe InDesign 18.3
Function "Create Package" with a PDF and selected job.options (PDF Presets) creates PDF with wrong downsampling for images.
Function "Export PDF" with same PDF Preset creates PDF with expected quality
Why is there a difference?

can't export tagged pdf
Much time has been spent setting up accessible document in InDesign - added export tagging instructions to paragraph styles, added alt text to all images and figures, anchored images and objects to text, set up reading order using articles. The document will not export to PDF when "create tagged pdf" is selected. Program crashes every time before exporting is complete. Have tried on different computers. Applications are up to date. Have tried exporting from .indd and .idml file types.

Export Interative PDF - Create Tagged PDF checkbox Bug
All my paragraph styles are set to corresponding tags (eg., H1, H2, etc.) for export options. When I export to tagged pdf, the tag names generated in PDF were paragraph style names not "Export Tagging" names.
Please look it into this and do the needful.

pdf export
Hello.
I've used until 2 weeks ago a CS4 version of Indesign.
Now I have the CC2023.
I've troubles with the pdf export.
The document is always the same, a 720 pages catalogues with Illustrator pictures.
With the CS4, I was able to export 2 pages in around 5 seconds.
With the CC2023, it takes arount 2 minutes, and after that the software don't answer for other 3 minutes.What happens?
Thanks.

styles don't export to pdf tags
All my paragraph styles are set to automatic for export options. When I export to pdf 99.9% comes over as 'span' in the reading order structure, not what it is supposed to be.
There is the occasional H3 for some reason on some versions exported. Appears totally random. None on attached sample.
