New in InDesign CC 2018 is the fact that indexes are properly tagged in an exported PDF file. See how to create an index in this video.
- [Instructor] In earlier versions of InDesign,…you could always create an index for a document.…The problem had been that,…when it was exported to accessible pdf format,…that the index was not properly tagged.…So in InDesign CC 2018, that problem has been remedied,…and the index is now tagged properly when exported to pdf.…So let's take a look at that.…I'm going to open up my index panel…by going to the window menu, type in tables, index.…
And I've actually already just kind of selectively…gone through this document and added some words to the index…so that we can use this as a reference.…If you want more details on how to use the index feature…and how to build your own index,…there's a lot of great InDesign content on LinkedIn Learning…that you can reference to learn how to do that.…So I'm going to go ahead and go down to page 21,…and I'm going to insert a new page after it.…So I'll just kind of click the create new page button.…
And I'm going to delete this frame that's on this page,…'cause that's using the master text frame…
