Hi @dt0245d3009278,

Thanks for reaching out, and I'm sorry to hear you're running into this issue with the hyperlink tags in your exported accessibility PDF.

To help investigate further, could you please share the following details:

1. The version of InDesign you’re currently using.

2. The operating system and version you're working on.

3. How are you generating the hyperlinks automatically? Are you using a script, Data Merge, or another method?

If possible, please also share:

1. A sample InDesign file that demonstrates the issue. (Package the file and share it via Public cloud service like Google Drive, Dropbox, etc. Reference: https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/preflighting-files-handoff.html#package_files)

2. A short screen recording showing the workflow and how the incorrect tag structure appears in the exported PDF.

If the file is confidential, you can share it via DM on the community with me. This will help me test it on my end and escalate it to the team if needed.

Looking forward to your response!

 InDesign generates hyperlinks but the in the accessibilty pdf  <Link> tag  &  Link Objr selects another broken link above. This occurs in the whole indd. in the PAC validation it error shows 'Link annotations is not nested in link structure'.  This is seriuos issue as there are more links in the InDesign document which makes it tedious to fix manually in the pdf. Given screenshot of the issue.

In above image Link tag is selecting the text 'Myrset 2022' text and also the text of previous link text 'et al., 2021' text also which is wrong.

In the above image the Link-OBJR should select its link text 'Myrset, 2022' but it is selecting previous link text 'et al., 2021'. From here the whole pdf Link tag is collapsed. The PAC validation  shows error 'Link annotation not nested in link structure'. 

Adobe team look into this problem as there is no clarity why it occurs. Solution to fix would be great.
