Exporting article reading order

indesign ignore reading order puts in articles
while exportibg to pdf

This is a bit confusing and is not well explained in the Help file.
If you use the Articles panel when creating an Accessible PDF (Tagged PDF must be turned on), it's not controlling what's seen on-screen. It's changing the Tagging order (the order of tags which you can view in the Tags panel in Acrobat Pro. Make sure you go to the Articles panel menu and check Use for Reading Order in Tagged PDF.
The only source I've found which explains this well is Chad Chelius' Lynda.com video "Creating Accessible PDFs":
Watch the Online Video Course Creating Accessible PDFs
In particular, in section 3, look at the video on Controlling Tag Order.

Why does the layers panel in ID CS6 affect or override Articles Panel and reading order?

In InDesign CS6 we arrange the order of content using the Articles panel and we expect that the reading order of the exported PDF will match what's in the Articles panel. In reality, we come to find that the layers panel in InDesign adversely affects the reading order. It completely ignores the articles panel which is counter to the purpose. Anyway, I've found that the reading order in the pdf ends up being the reverse order of what is in the InDesign documents layers panel. In terms of Accessibility, this is a problem and requires manual re-organization of the reading order. The Articles panel in InDesign was supposed to alleviate this process. Any ideas?

Acrobat Pro 9 & 10 crash when changing read order

I have a calendar I have been making in Indesign for years with no changes other than the entries. After I export to PDF, I use the read order tools to arrange the read order for a blind client and calendars cant be read normally without giving it the order. As of several months ago, when I go to rearrange the readorder, it will crash. It doesnt do it to every change to the order I make, just certain ones, and those certain ones change on me each month. Im clueless why this is and because of it, I havent been able to properly make a PDF for this blind client without the calendar reading completely out of order. What could be causing this????

Your issue may not be related to a difference between v8 and 9.
I have not had this problem on my computers, but a coworker had this issue. For many documents that others were able to open and scroll through without issue, his computer was freezing and unfreezing. IT determined his graphics capabilities were not able to keep up with the requirements of working with larger documents and gave his computer a RAM upgrade and a new graphics card. Particularly during scrolling, higher demands are made on the computer to graphically render and re-render page content. Documents giving him problems before became a non-issue.
A new graphics card is obviously a $$$ solution, but you might want to check to see if your RAM meets the minimum requirements and check to see if there are any program updates (Help > Check for Updates).
I have had an issue of pdfs freezing, but not specifically in the table of contents areas. If your document has pages with images that have an unusually high number of layers, it may affect the ability to work effectively in the document.

How do I save my exported doc in order to send it as an email attachment?

Plug your ipod in and pull up itunes. Then click on the device name in the left hand side. Click the restore option. When it goes all the way through and says "your device has been restored and is restarting, once it restarts you want to choose the option that says "setup as a new device"

How to define reading order independent of pages?

I need to use the reading order tools to make PDF files accessible. The document I'm currently working with is a standard trifold brochure, which has the outer panels on the first page of a landscape-oriented, letter-size document, and the inner panels on the second. In this common scenario, the proper reading order, reflecting how one would read a folded hard copy, is:
the right column of page 1 (outside; cover)
the left, center, and right columns of page 2, respectively (inside)
the left and center columns of page 1 (outside; the center column is the back)
Clearly, this requires the linearized reading order to begin on page 1, continue onto page 2, then return to page 1. However, I can find no way to do this with the tools in Acrobat. Can someone please help?
Thanks
(Version information: Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.2.0 on Windows XP)

You need to start with a tagged PDF.
The tagged PDF must have a welll-formed structure tree.
From that 'foundation' you can work with read order, reflow & accessibility.
Much of what you desire can be established upfront in the authoring application provided the application provides support for tag management of tagged output PDF.
Currently, the three applications that provide reliable tag management are Adobe's FrameMaker, InDesign and Microsoft Word (via Adobe's PDFMaker or Net-Centric's 'PAWs' plug-in for MS Word.
Other applications provide various degrees of tag management; however, the tagged output PDF's structure tag tree is not as well-formed and calls for more manual editing of the PDF structure tag tree.

TouchUp Reading Order tool moves or just deletes page content!?

Using Acrobat X to make documents 508 compliant. I've had a number of issues when trying to tag a figure, it ends up moving the figure to a different page or deleting it altogether. Also I've has issues when trying to adjust the reading order, content is moved or deleted.
How can adjusting structure completely delete content? Really bad bug. Is anyone else seeing this? Thanks.

Thank you for your comment. However I do not think this is a workable solution.
My structure in the tags panel is ordered correctly, and the document exported from inDesign is tagged and ordered correctly. However, when I look at the reading order tab the reading order is wrong. I need to use the reading order tab to reorganize the order in which items are read by screen readers (this is as according to Adobe training, e.g. http://tv.adobe.com/watch/accessibility-adobe/preparing-indesign-files-for-accessibility/). Is there another tool that will allow me to organize the reading/tab order (without deleting some of the content in my tables)?
I am also having the additional problem that sometimes, not always, when I use the reading order panel to reorganize reading order, my tables lose their tagging as tables - I am worried that this will mean screen readers will not recognize the data as a table and will not read it accordingly (by header cell and then content cell).
Can you provide any help?
Thank you.

Acrobat does not keep InDesign reading order plus more

I create forms for our office. Users download and print the forms, then fill in the blanks and submit to our office. We cannot use dynamic forms, because federal law requires a hard signature. Because handwriting is not always legible (adding to staff work load) this year we thought we'd go to interactive fields. We are a state agency, and all Web information must be 508 compliant and accessible.
I use InDesign and Acrobat CS3. I initially used styles to format the content. When the problems (below) arose, I tried to map the styles to tags. I also redid the form in two layers, keeping the structure on one layer and the text on another.
b The problems:
1) Acrobat will not maintain the reading order of the form I'm currently working on. It is so bad that nothing I export to PDF is in order, yet the structure is fine in InDesign.
2) Acrobat is treating my headers and paragraphs as one unit (sometimes), even when the text is in separate frames. For instance, Acrobat groups my PageHeader(H) frame to the text (P) frame that follows. For blind readers, I want them in a different order, but cannot do that, because they are grouped as if one frame in PDF.
I am extremely frustrated. I have searched the Internet and books, but cannot resolve this problem. And I'm learning more about XML than I ever wanted to know!
I'd appreciate any leads or help.

If you are exporting (File > Export) from InDesign, the problem would
seem to lie in InDesign. Acrobat doesn't make up the reading order, it
only reports what it is given.
So you may well find the InDesign forum the best.
(If you are using Acrobat, I'd recommend the Acrobat forum).

How to export articles from wiki?

Hi,

Export production sales order to test

I'm wondering if there's a way to export a sales order from a production environment and import into a test environment. This would be used for troubleshooting purposes to deal with order issues without disrupting any production data.
We take periodic backups of our production environment to use as test environments but of course the issues you have with sales orders are the ones that are never in a test instance due to timing. To be able to export an order and import it into a test instance would save the need for someone to manually recreate the order, manually create inventory for it, manually shipment report it, etc.
I found one Metalink article about exporting it to a 3rd party environment (NOTE: 344695.1) using the oe_order_pub.get_order API's and custom PL/SQL scripts, but I'm hoping that an Oracle EBS-to-Oracle EBS move would potentially have a better/easier solution.
Thanks!
PS: this is in an 11.5.10 environment

you can do it using the load runner. Create the load runner scripts and extract the data from your prod instance and run the scripts in dev instance, that creates the complete new set of orders with your production data. Then you can complete the order cycle process.

Automatic creation of meter reading order with RR 01 after move in

Hi Experts,
I am working with DM module of SAP ISU. Currently I am facing a problem that after move-in a periodic order with RR 01 is created automatically by the system.
Ex: Move in date is 01.01.2010. Monthly Portion is used with Schedule record 01.01.2010, 01.02.2010, 01.03.2010, 01.04.2010 and so on.
If current system date is 20.07.2010 then Meter reading order is created automatically by the system for sch MRD 01.08.2010.
Please let me know how to overcome this problem
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your reply but I have cheked SPRO setting the suggested check box is already uncheked.
I beleive the setting you have suggested is meant for default meter reading during move in but my problem is automatic creation of meter reading order with reason 01 during move in

Accessibility: Reading order of tables and anchored frames

I am creating accessible, tagged (section 508 compliant) PDFs in FrameMaker 9. The reading order for tables and frames is not correct.
When I view the PDF reading order using Adobe Acrobat Professional or another screen reader, anchored items such as tables and anchored frames are placed last in the reading order, regardless of where they appear in the document flow or page layout. The reading order skips over all tables and frames, reading all paragraphs on a page first, then reading the tables and frames as the last objects on the page. This logically doesn't make sense to skip over tables/frames as they generally apply to the content that preceeds it.
For example, the following document structure:
<Paragraph 1>
<Table 1>
<Paragraph 2>
<Anchored Frame 1>
<Paragraph 3>
<Anchor Frame 2>
<Paragraph 4>
is being read by assistive technology as:
<Paragraph 1>
<Paragraph 2>
<Paragraph 3>
<Paragraph 4>
<Table 1>
<Anchored Frame 1>
<Anchor Frame 2>
I want the document structure to be read correctly as intended.
In otherwords, the PDFs generated by FrameMaker 9 are not completely accessible because of incorrect reading order output by default. This information is not listed in the VPAT for FrameMaker 9.
I want to avoid any post processing using Acrobat's Touch Up Reading Order tool. Is there a way to automate updates to reading order?
Can FrameMaker 9 logically place tables and anchored frames into the correct reading order? How do I adjust these settings?
Thanks in advance!

As mentioned above, tables and anchored frames are inserted into thier own paragraph style "Frame". The paragraph style "Frame" is tagged. To my knowledge, there are no options for tagging or not tagging tables or anchored frames.
Regardless of which paragraph type the table or anchor frame is inserted into, and what that paragraphs tagging settings are, it is still last in the reading order.
I've tried a variety of options: tagging the "Frame" paragraph style as a sibling, child, and parent of my other paragraphs; I've even tried omitting it from the reading order. None of these options present anchored frames (and tables) in the logical reading order.
Even images that are inline (within a paragraph; not in thier own paragraph) are not being read as part of the paragraph. Inline images get skipped over by screen readers and get read at the end of the page, which makes no sense whatsoever.
All tables and images end up at the end of the reading order (after ALL paragraphs) regardless of the tagging settings.
Refer to my previous screenshot for a clear diagram of what is happening to the reading order. Each of those anchors is in it's own paragraph style. I want tables and anchored frames to be sequential in the reading order along with paragraphs. (1,2,3,4,5,6 not 1,4,2,5,3,6.)
I'm using the Tags tab of the "PDF Setup" dialog to adjust these settings. Is there somewhere else I should be making changes to the reading order?
This is a bit disturbing because FrameMaker touts creating accessible documents and this severe reading order issue impares my ability to do so. I would not consider documents that jump around the page in an illlogical, fixed order, to be accessible. I'm very suprised that no one else has encountered this issue (at least that I can find...)

Once printed how do you fold a pdf so that pages are in reading order?

Once printed how do you fold a pdf so that pages are in reading order?

I think I'm not following you. In my opinion, PDFs can't be folded; and whether pages are in reading order or not cannot be changed by the free Reader.

Where is the TouchUp Reading Order Tool in Adobe Acrobat X

Hi,
Our company just switched to Adobe Acrobat X and I'm having issues with some of the tools. In the old adobe acrobat I was able to use the TouchUp Reading Order Tool; does that tool still exist in X? I've tried the Edit Object tool but it's not working for me. I've tried holding down shift and the Edit Object tool but that doesn't seem to work also.
Please help if you can.
Mara

In the Tools section on the right in Acrobat X, not all the possible tools are displayed. From the flyout menu at the upper right select the Accessibility section and you'll find it there.
