I spend a lot of time and effort adding tags with article view, and then after I export it as an interactive pdf, I open it in acrobat and the article tags are all out of order. Then I have to spend even more time and effort reordering them in acrobat because its all wrong. why does this happen

    Hi ​@Cicada_on_a_fork,

     

    I understand how frustrating this must be after spending time organizing the reading order in the Articles panel.

    Could you please share the InDesign version and OS details you are using? Also, let us know if this happens with all files or only specific documents.

    If possible, please share a sample packaged InDesign file for testing using the steps here:

    Additionally, kindly share screenshots of the reading/order setup in InDesign and how it appears in Acrobat after export. If the file is confidential, feel free to share it via DM using Google Drive, Dropbox, or any similar file-sharing service.

     

    Looking forward to your update.

    Abhishek
