Accessible Pdfs - every line in paragraph being tagged individually

[Katie Kelly Designs]

This never used to happen, but recently when exporting to PDF from InDesign, each line of a paragraph is being tagged (as opposed to the whole paragraph). I haven't been doing anything differently so I wonder if InDesign changed something? I work on a P.C. (not Mac)

That is the order panel, show the Tags panel. (Even then, it does not matter for how it is read by the way). Use styles and no 'soft returns' or local formatting as a rule. But for accessibility it does not really matter if you see several containers inside the P-tag in the tags panel. For the order panel (the one you are showing) set the preference in the Order panel pane to 'show simular as block', this will show less lines.

Thank you! I found it, but in mine the option is "display like elements in a single box" so I clicked that and it worked. I was worried it would mess things up for accessibility having each line as it's own. Thank you so much for the help!

That is the one, I had to 'translate' it from memory 😉

[Katie Kelly Designs]

Close enough! Haha. I was able to find what you meant. Thanks again!

Which version of InDesign exactly?

That doesn't answer the question - as different regions can have different updates available.

Can you share your INDD file and PDF?

Thank you Robert, I got it solved. Frans suggested clicking the "display like elements in a single box" and that did the trick.

If you have to create accessible PDFs often, you might want to check out this book:

Thanks so much Dave, I actually have that one and it is very helpful! I have done alot of accessible documents but for some reason this issue was popping up lately and thankfully it was an easy fix.
