I work primarily in InDesign and create accessible PDFs. During the design stage, I always add the alt text when creating hyperlinks or adding images, and export it as an interactive PDF.

As we know, after updating beyond InDesign version 16.1, the hyperlink alt text will not appear on the Link tag, but instead, it appears on the "Link - OBJR" (aka "Annotation") tag within the Link tag.

I work on long reports that usually have hundreds of hyperlinks and this is a big and very time-consuming problem for me, so I reverted back to v 16.1.

I've been ignoring the past several updates for InDesign, but my CC updated it to v 17 and v 16.1 is no longer available.

Is there an acceptable solution or workaround?

Can this be fixed in a future InDesign version???

The world is becoming more accessible and this bug is quite a big problem for designers like myself.
