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.
