Topic: Accessible PDF Tagging Issue
Hello team,
I regularly have to make many of my lengthy InDesign documents into accessible PDFs. I understand using paragraph styles and setting the correct export tag for each style. I also use the articles panel to specify reading order. The issue I am having is as follows:
– I am exporting a PDF from InDesign.
– In InDesign I have selected the correct ‘export tagging’ option for each paragraph style such as H1, H2 etc.
– However, most of my headings are actually numbered lists (Eg. 1.1 Introduction)
– So upon opening the PDF, the headings auto tag as ‘lists’ instead of H1, H2 etcI have checked the role mapping dialogue box and can see that most of my styles come through and are mapped correctly but I cannot see any of my heading styles there as they are auto tagging as lists. This is creating errors in the heading hierarchy. How can I ensure that my headings are correctly tagged as headings instead of lists when exporting from Indesign?
Thanks
Hi !
I hope you’ll understand my pb. Each spread has two pages. I need to have the same page number on each page :
So it gives me :
1-1 (on page 2-3)
2-2 (on page 4-5)
etc.I can do it with numbers section but it forces me to sets each spread and i have more than 1400 spreads…
I can do it with creating a paragraph style and specify a particular named list (https://creativepro.com/setting-up-numbered-lists-that-jump-frames-in-cs3.php). This actually what i’m doing now but i have to break each page numbers from the master page to make it work.Im wondering if there is a better way to do it ? :/
Thanks !
Hi Folks,
I’m working with a client on a book, and they’d like to number every fifth paragraph (5, 10, 15 and so in) in the right hand margin of a facing pages document. This is a standard book, with justified text. The work is a collection of essays, and the numbering would restart with each one.
I’m not sure how to approach this. I’ve found scripts that can number lines, but not paragraphs. If I use the numbered list feature + grep I can get numbers on the left hand margin, but not the right. I’m not even sure what this style of numbering is called, which makes it harder to search for solutions. The client tells me this is a common convention in academic textbooks, so it should be possible.
Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.
How to add new pages to a document on the left-hand side.
Is it possible to add a specified number of pages, to an existing document, where the new pages will fall on a “left-hand” side (even-numbered pages)?
My example: I have a four-page document; I want to add an additional 4 pages, of a specific master page, to the document. But, I require the new pages to be placed as left-handed pages (even-number pages).
I currently have a applescript, that I built & use, to add the four (4) new pages. Unfortunately, the new pages fall at the end of the current document. I cannot figure out how to get them to place properly. I currently do the manual move of the pages.
Please be nice … my applescritping skill level is just below intermediate. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

DandaloTopic: Paragraph style numbering
This problem is driving me crazy…
I’m trying do make numbered pharagraph styles in three levels.I have followed a tutorial and tripple-checked I´m doing it the same way, but no.
Level one numbers correctly.
Level two and Three doesn’t.
I.e. in chapter 3:
3. XXX
1.5 XXX
1.1.7 XXX
1.1.8 XXXProblems: the number from previous numbering level stays at one AND the number from the current level doesn´t start over at 1.
– Level one: ^#.^t , Level=1
– Level two: ^1.^#^t, Level=2, Restart number after any previous level is checked.
– Level Three: ^1.^2.^# ^t, Level=3, Restart number after any previous level is checked.
– Mode: continue from previous level
– text boxes are not linked together
– I use separate number lists that continue across stories
– I have all chapters in one dokument – not using a book.What am I doing wrong?? Does this have anythong to do with sections or chapters?
Grateful for help!!Topic: Listings Reflow Methods
Hi All,
I wondered if anyone has any ideas how I can easily handle the following ID situation…
I often work on a journal which contains sponsored listings. These are listed alphabetically, and appear vertically stacked with 4 to a page in the journal. The sales team keep selling as late as they can, so we frequently get late insertions. Problem is, if I’ve got 40 ads, I’m OK if we get insertions which are lower down the articles – I’m happy add as many ‘xyz’ listings as you like ;o) – it takes quite a lot of time to reflow the boxes if we get new insertions higher up the list which means reflow headaches. Is there an easy way to do this?
My initial thoughts would be to link the content frames, but in order to make this work with images (each ad is a PDF or JPEG), could that work?
My other thought would be to use data merge somehow, using 000 prefix numbering which is initially set up to increase in jumps of 10, so that they would be numbered 010, 020, 030, and a new late listing could be 015 for example. Then re-run a datamerge…
Is there a better way to do this?
Many thanks
I’m very new to InDesign, and I’ve looked everywhere I can find for an answer to this question. I am in the process of creating an InDesign book composed of a number of documents which are in this case forming major sections in the book. I have successfully set up multilevel legal-style numbering (1, 1.1, 1.2, 1.2.1, etc.) which are in turn the basis for a the Heading 1, Heading 2, and so on styles in each document. Each major section has a Heading 1 paragraph style as its section title. (So for instance, you might have 1. Overview, 2. About Us, 3. New Ideas, and so on.)
Now, I want to use the Heading 1 paragraph style as my running header throughout the document. Unfortunately, when I attempt to do that, I end up with Overview instead of 1. Overview in the header. The numbering doesn’t get picked up by the text variable and put into the running header.
Is there any way to do that. (I know I’m probably missing something really obvious. Forgive me. I’ve been doing all this in Word, fairly successfully, but I’d really like to make the switch to InDesign, but I’m just learning.)
I’m using InDesign CS 6 on Windows if that makes any difference.
Can anyone help me on this?
