Bauke Posted April 19, 2021 Posted April 19, 2021 This linked image (a PDF made in presumably Adobe Illustrator), with page box set to ArtBox, Minimum Content or Maximum Content and passthrough enabled, gets mangled when exporting the document using the PDF/X-4 preset. With PDF/X-1 or any digital PDF preset, or the page box set to anything else, the problem doesn't occur. I attached a package with the document, including the linked image and the exported PDF. bug.zip Quote
Staff Pauls Posted April 20, 2021 Staff Posted April 20, 2021 The PDF hasĀ a trimbox and artbox specified which is not quite in line with the PDF X4 spec. Quote
Staff Pauls Posted April 21, 2021 Staff Posted April 21, 2021 I've raised an issue to see if it is something we could handle Quote
Bauke Posted April 21, 2021 Author Posted April 21, 2021 Thanks @Pauls! I'm not very much into the PDF spec so I'm not sure I really get where the problem lies, but to be honest I kind of expected Publisher to not touch the source PDF in any way on export because I selected Passthrough. I also thought the page box was just a convenient way to crop the image. Did I misunderstand those things? Thanks again! Bauke Quote
