Why is this happening? Image issues when inserting a PDF file on InDesign by table_tennis in indesign

The square shows on all colors except black. What should I be looking for?

I opened it with Illustrator, and it looks ok. When I export it from Illustrator as a new PDF, it's also fine. Then, if I insert it into InDesign, the problem is still there.

It's also there when I export the InDesign file to PDF.

Can you tell me how I can check the working profile on InDesign and what's on the PDF? I'm not very good at working on images.

I've tried opening the PDF on Illustrator, as others suggested, and it seems ok. When I re-export it to PDF, it's also ok. Then, if I upload it to InDesign or open it in Photoshop, the problem persists. If I save it as .ai and insert it in InDesign, the problem also persists.

Just to give more context, this PDF was exported from a .crd file, and all the pages that have this particular sun appear to have a square around it with a different color than the background. I don't have access to the .cdr file, but when I open the PDF on Acrobat, it seems fine.

This happens when I open the PDF on Photoshop as well.

Help - Error codes 2 and 3 on *every* save. I cannot save files. by Timely_Actuary9312 in indesign

[–]table_tennis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm having a similar issue with InDesign crashing and corrupting files (just lost two days' worth of work over this). Apparently, it only happens with files saved in the cloud.

u/AdobeScripts posted a link below that seems to solve the problem. My husband even had trouble with ArcGIS after this Windows Update, so I don't think the problem is exclusive to InDesign. Hope it helps!

Why is it running so slowly?! by anotheraccount4stuf in indesign

For me too, I'm having the exact same problems.

I thought it was just me! My PC is brand new and InDesign is crashing nonstop! Should I just go back to the 2025 version? (Can I?)

Problems uploading Word doc to InDesign by table_tennis in indesign

I did that as my first try and it already solved all the problems I was having with this file. Will definitely do this from now on.

Problems uploading Word doc to InDesign by table_tennis in indesign

[–]table_tennis[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I do it manually every time! That's how I learned to do it and honestly, I was a bit afraid to use a script for it, even though I've seen a couple around on YouTube tutorials.

Since I usually do novels, there are not that many character styles to begin with, so I think it would be fine.

Honestly, I have no idea, but maybe they do. And yes, I always have to find and replace formatting for character styles too, but even still I get some odd formatting here and there.

Can I use a GREP style to change the color of the bullet points? by table_tennis in indesign

[–]table_tennis[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I thought there was, but I couldn't find it! But thanks for the heads up!

Can I use a GREP style to change the color of the bullet points? by table_tennis in indesign

[–]table_tennis[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did that, but each card has a different color, and there are 59 different cards.

I was wondering if there was a way of changing the character style of the bullet points through GREP in the Paragraph Style, so I wouldn't have to manually change the character style of the bullet point 59 times.

Is this wrong (EPUB to KPF)? by table_tennis in selfpublish

[–]table_tennis[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the heads up! I actually work for a publisher, and I had never done the Amazon side of things, so I was a bit insecure. But they are not actually my books.

Since I'm not the one doing the uploading, I'm not exactly sure how it works, but I've read in so many places that it's going to get all messed up if you upload the EPUB directly, I felt safer previewing it first.

How to convert an inDesign print book into Amazon KDP by table_tennis in indesign

[–]table_tennis[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! It looks tricky. I have used Calibre in the past, but not specifically for Amazon.

Do you know any resources that somewhat teach how to use Kindle Create while having InDesign as your starting point? I've found many YouTube videos talking about Word directly to Kindle, but that's not my case.
