Hello - I have received a file with an embedded image that shows a white dotted line bounding box. I realize it's nothing but visual but where did it come from and how do I turn it off.

Thanks for any help

What kind of file did you open?

Can you select that edge?

Can you move that cake?

Hi Monika - Illustrator file, it's a CMYK image with an opacity mask in the Transparency palette. I can move the image anyplace and the bounding box follows.

BUT when I click overprint preview to check my separations, the line disappears.

It's more of a "What the heck" curiosity than an issue. It doesn't print.

Does it perhaps vanish when you go into CPU preview?
