.EPS image tags not showing up in PDF

EPS doesn't support tagging (assuming you mean structural tags as they are defined in PDF), so not sure what you have. Even if you somehow had added "PDFMarks" to your EPS, that information is pretty much ignored by InDesign. If you want to get that type of information into InDesign, then you should convert the EPS->PDF using Distiller (which understands PDFMarks) and then place the PDF into ID.And given that EPS is a HUGELY archaic format - you should switch to PDF anyway!

Thanks! I've asked Carly to join the discussion to make sure we're presenting the facts correctly. Thank you for the education. I'll be looking to see how it progresses.

Hey Leonard,

For some reason Carly can't get into the forum to post but she is able to read what we're writing. She said that by tagging she meant an alt tag so that when a user hovers over the text it will show/read it for them. For other image formats she simply adds the alt tags and then outputs the final document as a PDF. If I understand you correctly, you can't alt tag an .eps image file in InDesign and then come out of that program into a PDF that will recognize that tag, correct? Are you suggesting that she goes in and distills the vector file and then puts it in the document? That seemed a bit confusing to both of us.

I have a question about your comment that the .eps format is a hugely archaic format. What did you mean by that? In the design world vector images are still quite necessary. What do you suggest would take it's place. A raster image against a vector have pros and cons galore.

Thanks again for the education!
