Character Style Options, Export Tagging, where are the PDF Tag options?

Question

In Windows InDesign v19 I map styles to tags, apply the artifact tag to selected Paragraph Styles, export to PDF, use Read Out Loud in Acrobat, and as intended Acrobat does not read the artifact tagged text. I next apply the artifact tag to a selected Character Style, export to PDF, and Acrobat DOES read the artifact tagged text.

If I right click to edit a Paragraph Style, choose Export Tagging, there are EPUB and HTML options and PDF options. If I right click to edit the Character Style, choose Export Tagging, there are EPUB and HTML options but no PDF options.

How can I map a Character Style to the Artifact tag, export to PDF, and have Acrobat recognize the Artifact tag and not read the artifact tagged text out loud. Thank you. - Bll

William, the limited world of PDF tags is only for paragraph styles; not character styles.

Try using the Articles panel to add in only the tagging you want. It will ignore the rest. Therefore you don't have to mark things as artifact.
