Adobe InDesign 2026 Tagged PDF Export Issue Affecting Screen Readers
Linking an image in InDesign 2026 and exporting it as a tagged PDF generates an unpleasant Tag structure.
The structure now is:
<Figure>
--<Link>
----OBJR
--Content
Tags inside of <Figure> will normally ignored by any assistive technology. So the Link will not be present to the end user.
This is a change to InDesign 2025 and before, where the tagging was properly:
< Link>
--OBJR
--<Figure>
----Content
This new behavior violates WCAG guidelines and makes the link tagging inaccessible to screen reader users.
