Question

Export as transparent PNG pictures shows as placeholders

Sometimes when I export PNG with transparent background from InDesign all is ok, but sometimes the pictures shows up as «placeholders».

 

Some documents work, some don’t and I’m unable to see what’s causing the issue.

Anyone got an idea?

Just to clarify, you are Exporting the page or a selection to a PNG image, and then placing the exported PNG image back into InDesign via File>Place?

Hey.

No, I just want to make a design containing different placed images (and text etc) and export the whole page as a transparent PNG. And the placed pictures appears as placeholders.

 

Did that clarify?

Is your Display performance set to High Quality? What format are the placed images? Does it happen if  the placed image formats are .PSDs?
