Question

InDesign Accessibility PDF shows "Tagged Annotation Failed"

All,

We have completed accessibility PDF process from InDesign using Article panel.

But we end-up with Tagged Annotation Failed in 2 or 3 places. Same scripting process is used to create 200's of URL and Cross-references links. Why its showing error in 2 or 3 places, rest of the hyperlinks and cross-references are fine.

For testing process we have deleted the error content and created PDF again, but now it shows other place.

Not able to find the root cause, we have checked forum but everyone is depending on acrobat to fix it.

Note: While creating URL we have switch-off "Shared Hyperlink Destination" still the issue not resolved. (also we are in XML-IN workflow)

Can anyone having any idea about what will be the root cause, any method need to change while creating URL/Cross-Referene link, so that we can check related to that.

    Do you have any hyperlinks on the Parent Pages?

     

    Which program is giving the failure/error — Acrobat's checker, Acrobat's Preflight, or a 3rd party checker such as PAC?

    Thank you for your response.

    We are using Acrobat to check Accessibility PDF basic points issues.

    Attached herewith screenshot. Seems this bugs still not rectified by Adobe more over this is untraceable by us, since the whole process run in backgroud, here is my inputs let me know if there is any way to resolve this issue, we are not looking to solve the issue in acrobat, need to resolve it in InDesign itself, so that 100% accessibility export will happen no need to check in acrobat including reading order etc. we have added all the possibility in scripts, which we have tested in 100's of files from direct export to indesign. Only this one cause issue for us. We are in journal environment with XML-IN workflow.

    1. Acrobat_1.png (interesting part is all articles only last reference have this issue)

    2. InDesign_1.png (XML structure view, i have marked the issue "year" is cross-references and "doi" is URL link)

    3. Acrobat_2.png (One more interesting part we have come across. For testing purpose deleted last reference which have issue but still it shows last refernce having "Tagged annotation failed" but this reference was valid before. You can cross check Acrobat_1.png for the reference)

    Thanks

    Thank you for the response.

    I will try to get in touch with Adobe Developer raising ticket as you said.

    To answer your question related to specific word: There were no specific wording the accessibility getting failed. Error only occurs in URL and Cross-References randomly other than that all are fine. 

    Also if anyone who are in XML-IN workflow in this forum can throw some lights.

    Thanks

    Added to that one last question.

    As you said we are in XML-IN workflow. To check non-xml related i have untagged all content just for checking, we cannot do this since all are XML delivery journals.

    Screenshot 1.png (with XML structure doi URL there were no issue)

    Screenshot 2.png (untagged content doi URL showing "Tagged Annotation Failed)

    Rest of the URL's no issue only this one.

    So not able to predict how backend engine of accessibility working in Adobe InDesign.

    XML-IN doi URL no issue, but Non-XML doi URL showing issue, very strange behaviour from adobe.
