Alt-text and field descriptions/tooltips do not export correctly
When updating Alt-text on images or the form field descriptions in InDesign 2025 20.0.1 on Mac and exporting to PDF, the Alt-text/descriptions do not reflect the updated text. This requires manual updating of every single image or form field in the PDF or saving as IDML, opening in 2024 and exporting.

Additional information…
The Callas PDFgoHTML plugin for Acrobat shows the field description as set correctly in InDesign.Screen reader (NVDA) testing voices the incorrect tooltip text rather than the description set in the InDesign file.
