Failix Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Hi there, I have two problems with a PDF placed in Publisher (1.10.0.1127 / Win 10). This PDF was once created with InDesign and printed without any problems. 1. When I set the PDF in Publisher to "Passthrough", it is missing in a new PDF created with Publisher. 2. If I set the placed PDF to "Interpret", it is present in a new PDF, but Publisher displays strange lines in the graphics (which are also exported). Here is a screenshot: I first thought they were the graphic frames from InDesign, but they are not, as you can see on the left. Does anyone have any ideas about this?

Failix Posted August 25, 2021 Author Share Posted August 25, 2021 Thank you very much! How stupid of me, I tried out too few export options, but relied on the presets. So: I can't get rid of the strange lines at "Interpret" with any of the offered PDF versions. But when I use PDF/X-1a:2003, "Passthrough" works (and it's the only option). This solves my problem for the time being, but we don't know why "Passthrough" causes such problems during export. Actually, I thought the placed PDF then behaves like an image ...

Failix Posted August 26, 2021 Author Share Posted August 26, 2021 Thanks for the advice! But it's all ok, the fonts are available in the PDF. As a way out, I would otherwise have converted the PDF to be placed into JPG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to have your own copy, installed on your system, if you Open the PDF or Place it using Interpreted mode.

So in any case I will convert all the PDFs to JPG and reposition them. Thank you both for the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Failix Posted August 26, 2021 Author Share Posted August 26, 2021 Yes, all that doesn't sound so good. As I wrote above, I'd rather do the work of converting the PDF to JPG, everything else is too risky for me by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
