Hi Tami, The only place where you can enter a creep value in InDesign is when you use the Print Booklet command. Beyond that, there's no creep setting within the InDesign document itself. I'm wondering if the designer possibly adjusted this manually? By moving the pages towards the spine by your defined value? It should be pretty easy to tell when you look at the doc because your x values will shift from page to page. ... View more

Hi Aaron, We've been able to include alt text in an exported PDF since CS 5.5 actually but adding alt text to native InDesign objects and groups wasn't added until InDesign CC 2018. If you upgrade, you'll find that it works quite well! ... View more

After looking at the file, I can see that the problem is that you don’t have any styles for the text in the document. All of the text is using the “Normal” style with local overrides to the text. This will always produce spans around all of the content which explains what you were seeing. I created a few styles for the first several lines of copy in your file, and you’ll see that if you export the file to PDF now, there are no spans. Keep in mind that these <span> tags are not a failure condition but it does make for messy tags. Always use styles in InDesign, not just for accessibility, but for efficient and consistent formatting as well.  hope that helps! ... View more

I'm sorry to be the one to tell you that no kinks in CS4 will get worked out period. CS4 is now 9 versions old 😉 No resources will be put into that version moving forward.

You can do it, it's just a bit hidden. Choose Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts and click the New Set button to create your own custom keyboard shortcut set. Now click on the Product Area drop-down menu and choose Panel Menus. Now in the Commands section, scroll down to Pages: Remove Selected Local Overrides. In the New Shortcut field, type a shortcut that you'd like to use for this command and click Assign. InDesign will tell you if the shortcut is already taken but you can always choose to override it with your shortcut if desired. This will give you your own shortcut for that command. ... View more

I just want to clarify your problem. Based on your screen shot, the photos do in fact show up in the PDF file as I can see the file open in Acrobat. Your issue really is that the images don't print when printed from Acrobat. Is that correct? In the print dialog I think the printer sees that they're in the file because the wine bottles are knocking out of the background. I'd open the Separations Preview panel and see if anything stands out there. I ran a similar test on my end and the fact that they're Tiff's doesn't seem to be the issue. What if you switch to a different printer? Any change? ... View more

OK, so what you need to do is go to your display performance preferences. InDesign > Preferences > Display Performance (Mac) or Edit > Preferences > Display Performance (Windows) and in the Default View drop-down menu at the top of the dialog box, choose Typical or High Quality whichever you prefer. This should set the default display performance for all files that you open. ... View more

Hi L, Printing to PDF as you probably already know removes the InDesign engine from the equation and doesn't tag anything at all. This is definitely the hard way to make an accessible PDF file. Would you be willing to send me the file so I can test on my end? ... View more

Thanks for the kind words L! Let me ask you. Do you get the same results with other InDesign files now or is it isolated to this one specific file? That answer might help us to determine the problem. ... View more

You could add the page numbers to the master page in Adobe InDesign and that would cause them to appear on each page in the document. That being said, for PDF accessibility, you typically don't want the physical page numbers to be read because Acrobat manages the page number of the document in the Acrobat interface. Page numbers are typically artifacted in the PDF so that they aren't read. BTW, if you add page numbers to the master pages in InDesign, they are automatically artifacted 😉 ... View more

If you can recreate the appearance of the text in InDesign, then DataMerge is possible. Otherwise, it won't work.
