Adobe AI BAD. Nice to know, after more than a week, that the new AI Alt Text tag function thinks our institution’s logo “contains a nude figure.” This messaging doesn’t exactly fall within our branding guidelines.
1) The new feature is automatically turned on. Why?
2) Any document created since the update now includes these Alt Text tags.
3) However, there was nothing that indicated this was happening. Only after I reset my Preferences yesterday (for an unrelated issue) did the Blue Circle T icons suddenly appear on on frames in documents created since the update.
4) There is no simple way to “turn this off” on these new documents. Each document and each placed element has to be gone through to manually remove the offensive Alt Text.
5) Not to mention the whole “uses one generative credit” approach for a feature I never turned on.

How is any of this acceptable?

4) There is no simple way to “turn this off” on these new documents. Each document and each placed element has to be gone through to manually remove the offensive Alt Text.

This can be done with a script.

In AppleScript this should work (I know you’re on Windows so you can’t use it):

set custom alt text of object export options of page items to ""

Maybe someone can provide a JavaScript version.

Here’s a JavaScript:

p = app.activeDocument.allPageItems;
for (i = 0; i < p.length; i++) {
  try {
    p[i].objectExportOptions.customAltText = '';
  } catch (_) {
  }
}

You can also remove Alt-text using the Object tab in the Find/Change window:

The bad thing is that as far as I can see it’s not possible to disable alt-text auto-generation in the document preferences.

Please start a new discussion with full details including a link but be aware that many browser block this type of thing because it's annoying.

Are all the old scripts gone... again...! Questions and answers from years back, that people put on the InDesign Scripting forum to help other people? This is not inspiring at all to see.

10 or 15 years ago I opened the "InDesign Scripting" forum almost every day... the old forum that is. That was inspiring, since I easily found new interesting questions to answer, and I got answeres on the ones I put there myself.

I'm new to InDesign. How do I update InDesign CS6 to newest version? Thanks!

Hi Tiffany,

Are you using the older version of InDesign CS6 (the perpetual one with serial numbers)and need to update to the latest CC version? If yes, you need to get the subscription for it. Please check this link for more details: https://www.adobe.com/in/creativecloud/plans.html

In case, you need to update the CS6 version to the most recent CS6 itself, I am afraid, it's quite an old version and no updates were released for quite a long time.

Thanks,

Om

Is there a possibility to search only in the InDesign community in stead of the entire community?

To search only in the InDesign community... Go to the main support page https://community.adobe.com/, locate the InDesign icon, click it, and search from there.

How can I mark an answer as the correct answer to my question?

Only forum moderators (Adobe staff and some ACP / MVP volunteer contributors) can evaluate whether the answer is correct or not and mark it "correct."

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out. I am hopeful that the issue is resolved by now. If not, I would request if you can create a new thread and share the following details:

OS and version of InDesign
Is the issue related to a specific document(s)/asset(s)? If yes, could you please share the document(s)/asset(s) with us? You can upload it to the creative cloud and share the download link.
Where the files are saved (Network Drive/ System HDD/ Shared Folder on System /External HDD)?
When did this start happening? Are there any recent changes made to your system? For example, any antivirus, system updates or web extensions installed recently.

Regards!

If you're looking for a "compact CSS" option for these forums, I prepared this: https://userstyles.org/styles/176003/adobe-forums-compact-css

It only works with the main forum page (not the actual messages). Still, you get about ×10 more posts per page...

That's great, Ariel, very useful. Many thanks! Keep it up and get rid of the remaining fluff! For instance, the date, which is now printed above a post, could go after it as another column. Or is that not possible?

Thanks Peter. A simple "float:right" didn't do the trick for this like it did for those other icons. If I – or anyone else – can figure it out, I'll definitely add it.

I dont like the 'overhaul' at all, and agree with most concerns. But the old threads, gone, forever? What a pity!

And this spam…

Hi there, thanks for reaching out and sharing your feedback. The older threads, which had no activities, have been archived. If there's anything specific which you want us to bring back, feel free to let me know. I'll try to get the content back. Please share the title of that thread, if you have it saved, so that I can check it.
