[ID-4220612] Exporting accessible PDF – wrong BoundingBox
InDesign Version: All
Background:
An accessible PDF needs for all graphics and pictures a bounding box.
This is used by AT e.g. to set a focus to a visual impaired user.
Using the PDF export a bounding box is defined for all linked images.
Problem:
Often the bounding box does not fit to the visible area.
AT user get wrong information, in fact the file is not accessible.
Steps to reproduce the issues:
Place an asset, where only a part of the linked asset is visibily placed in InDesign, the rest is cropped.
Expected result:
Bounding box fits to visible area
Actual result:
The bounding box is bigger than the visible area, if the assets content is bigger than the area show.
Workaround:
You can fix this in Acrobat theoretically, but this is nor real workaround as you only edit values and dont have visual feedback.
Attachement:
InDesign sample files and accessible PDF with bounding box example + visible error.

shared this idea
The behavior that content on pasteboard is never exported as part of pdf has been with InDesign for many releases and as designed. Page limits is the printable area as per industry standards.
