Hi 

InDesign 2024 version

 

We are creating Accessible PDF and for reading order we used Article option in InDesign. We have used Anchor object  and while creating accessible PDF the content sides and angles not coming in tag.

 

I attached InDesign file and output PDF for your reference. While selecting the root document that content is not selecting.

I assume you are talking about the numbers (6 and 7)?
If I look at them in the Content pane I can see that they are artefacted:

That said, how are these numbers come to be? Because when I open it a second time, the numbers become 2 and 1.

That said: exporting it without articles tags everything:

I have no idea why when using Articles it is tagged differently other than something clearly is not added... 

But I also can not figured out WHAT is anchored WHERE: the shapes are AI images, it looks like you grouped items? 

 

To test, I have deleted the AI images, otherwise I could not even UNanchor (release). Then I released the remaining anchored group (the angles part) and added those to the Articles panel, and exported and that worked again:

So what it looks like is that the text frames ('2 sides 2 angles') were not added to the Articles pane.

Something has gone wrong here.


I tested this with a new document myself, anchored text in achored text and it worked:

Then I placed an AI file, grouped it with a text frame with an anchor and anchored that again, also works:

Hi Francs

Thanks for your analysis and details reply. I noticed that if we placed the Anchor object inside another text frame, InDesign Article feature not recognizing while creating Tagged PDF. 


As per customer request for fixing the reading order we are using Article option in InDesign.

 

Now I just cut that anchor object and paste in the main thread link it solved my issue.

 

Thanks
