Axaio Made To Tag

[Damian2]

Has anyone been using Axaio's Made to Tag for accessible PDF workflows? I am evaluating the software now.

Pros:

Fixes InDesign's bugs in anchored objects tags

Awesome table editor for complex tables

Aggregates figures with associated alt text

Cons:

Finding it a bit buggy

PDF export only through their proprietary export engine (i.e., you lose the PDF export control from InDesign

Olaf speaking here, I am the managing director at axaio software...:

• whenever finding a bug in MadeToTag, please send us a note at support@axaio.com; such bug reports are very important for us so we can find out where MadeToTag users are not getting best possibke results yet
• the PDF export isn't that proprietary, but rather (under the hood) uses the "Interactive PDF export", and then indeed applies som extesnive post-processing of the PDF exported by InDesign, in order to achieve the various effects you can't get with just using InDesign. Are there any specific settings/features you are missing in this approach?
