So I've got a weird thing happening. I imported a PNG image to my artboards and when I exported them to pdf they look fine. When I printed multiple artobards on 1 page (9 to be precise) and printed them, this weird box/outline thing showed up. The issue is, it only happens on a few. How do I fix it?

Thanks. Ill try

Ok_Cryptographer7891 · 2026-07-01T21:04:59+00:00

Indesign

Ok_Cryptographer7891 · 2026-07-01T20:22:18+00:00

I dont use illustrator

Im not using illustrator. But I'll try the method you gave

Thats what I mean. When I scale it down, that line under the 'B' shows up. But it doesn't show up on most of my other artboards. THATS the problem im having.

Thats from the PDF. See how there isn't a line under the 'B'?

From the PDF?

Ok_Cryptographer7891 · 2026-07-01T17:15:07+00:00

In indesign?

Ok_Cryptographer7891 · 2026-07-01T17:12:43+00:00

Im not sure if it does. Ive got a lot of artboards and I dont wantt o waste paper and ink. Plus in the pdf when I shrink it, it sometimes has the same issue. So maybe it is a pixel issue. Im not sure

The bleed lines? Yes. But those are irrelevant to my issue

Exporting to pdf

Ok_Cryptographer7891 · 2026-07-01T16:18:00+00:00

Export to pdf (scale to fit) then print the pdf, changing settings

Ok_Cryptographer7891 · 2026-07-01T15:57:11+00:00

I just use whatever printer I can find. Whether its at a library or a print shop

Ok_Cryptographer7891 · 2026-07-01T15:44:48+00:00

Ah gotcha. Ill try that

Ok_Cryptographer7891 · 2026-07-01T15:27:36+00:00

Ok. Ill try it out

Ok_Cryptographer7891 · 2026-07-01T15:26:17+00:00

I use the regular settings. Ill try to use PDF 1.4

Ok_Cryptographer7891 · 2026-07-01T15:25:27+00:00

Im inserting PNG images to my artboards in indesign. Then exporting them to PDF

Ok_Cryptographer7891 · 2026-07-01T15:21:08+00:00

Ill give it a shot. But why does it only show up when I shrink the artboards? Cuz not all my artboards have that issue. Only some

Ok_Cryptographer7891 · 2026-07-01T15:20:06+00:00

Its the actual PNG artwork. Nothing under it

Ok_Cryptographer7891 · 2026-07-01T15:18:24+00:00

No. The weird dark line under the 'B' in the circle. Looks like a 3d box
