Hi Winterm, this sort of works. It's a little better, but still surprisingly sluggish for 3 pages. Are there any guidelines with respect to what makes a proper InDesign background image? Is a 4-5MB JPEG overkill? Thank you.

That sounds like a good idea, but we're experiencing the issue after just loading in 3 pages with background images, so I'm not sure how much this will help unfortunately.

Thank you for reply. I have tried turning preflight off, but the performance issues are persisting. I have been using File -> Place, which appears to be creating links. I will say after turning the Display Performance to Fast, it worked better, but the document was difficult to work with since much of the placement of the text is reliant upon the background images. Hoping there's a solution here where we can still place the text over the background images with Display Performance set to Typical.

Hi there, I have a document which requires different background images on every page. We are creating the images in Photoshop, and loading them in separately on each page in InDesign. Being concerned about print quality, they are high resolution images at 4-5MB each, JPEG. The InDesign document though is starting to slow down performance wise, and I am getting the feeling we are using the software incorrectly. Could someone please point us in the right direction, as to how we should be creating a document with unique backgrounds on every page? As a final note, we have modified our preferences to display lower quality in InDesign, but the software is still acting very sluggish now, even on fast systems with i7 core, 32GB of RAM. Thanks for your help, Robert

I went with this technique to maintain the flexibility, and it worked pretty well so far for some basic color filling. Thank you!

Hi there, I'm still pretty new to Illustrator, and was hoping to get some insight on how to easily fill in non-contained areas. I know there's the Live Paint Bucket which is great, but it doesn't work very well for the art I need color. Due to the brushes used, the areas are not contained (sample image below). I have the full adobe suite, so if there's a better program to do this in (photoshop) I am open to that to, just need some pointing in the right direction as I'm a bit stuck. Thank you in advance, Rob
