1. Re: Accessibility: Missing Tags after Indesign > PDF export
Bill@VT May 31, 2010 7:05 AM (in response to Pascal_K)The export is an ID feature as I recall (sorry, but I do not have ID). You may find more useful info from the ID forum, except for the few here that also have ID.

2. Re: Accessibility: Missing Tags after Indesign > PDF export
CtDave May 31, 2010 7:22 AM (in response to Pascal_K)Hi,
While InDesign does provide tag management for output of accessible, tagged PDF it is not a seamless process.
Actually, that is the case using FrameMaker, InDesign or MS Word (via Adobe PDFMaker or the Office 2007 Save As PDF).While Adobe continues to refine InDesign's capabilities the application (imo) still requires somewhat more
manipulation than is called for when using FrameMaker.However, I suspect InDesign sales are greater than FrameMaker's which would explain the continued InDesign enhancement efforts.
But, that's another story.If you've not already done so, you may want to harvest the InDesign/Accessibility documentation resources Adobe has provided.
The link below is to a thread at Acrobat Users Community (AUC).
There may be some newer resources fielded by Adobe; unfortunately I've not had the time, of late, to do close look-about.Regardless, the resources may provide useful guidance on what you need to do from within InDesign and what will have to be done with Acrobat Pro as a post-processing activity.
Keep in mind that, currently, post-processing with Acrobat Pro is going to be required when working to provide accessible PDF.
Effective / efficent post-processing is optimized when done by someone
with a reasonablly good understanding of the criteria for PDF Tagged Structure and Accessiblilty
(which starts with having a good grounding in ISO 32000-1 and the work of the PDF/UA group).
The fifth post is specific to InDesign.
