Fehler bei Unterstreichungen und Absatzrahmen in barrierefreiem PDF

Hallo!
Ich möchte ein barrierefreies PDF erstellen. Ich habe in meiner InDesign-Datei einen Absatzrahmen über ein Absatzformat definiert. Außerdem habe ich mit einem Zeichenformat eine Unterstreichung gesetzt.
Beide Elemente werden später im PDF mit einer Fehlermeldung angezeigt: „Inhalt weder Artefakt noch getaggter Inhalt“
Eigentlich sollten beide Elemente im PDF nicht als grafische Elemente gesehen werden, wenn ich sie über Formate erstelle, aber es funktioniert nicht.
Was kann ich tun?
Vielen Dank!!!

Hi Daniela,


This is a common issue with InDesign-generated PDFs. Paragraph borders and underlines applied via styles can be exported as graphic elements, which aren't tagged or marked as artifacts.

 

You can fix this by opening the exported PDF in Acrobat Pro, finding those elements in the Content panel, and right-clicking to set them as artifacts.

 

Alternatively, use Preflight to automatically mark untagged graphics as artifacts.

 

If accessibility is the main focus, consider avoiding decorative borders or underlines and use simpler styling or spacing.

 

Hope that helps!

Thanks very much for your answer!!

 

But I have further questions 🙂

 

How would this work exactely?:

„Alternatively, use Preflight to automatically mark untagged graphics as artifacts.“

 

I have 190 elements, I don't want to correct them all manually, also because I maybe have to export the PDF again, when I have to correct or change things. 
So, this would not be a solution.

 

Thanks!!
