Illustrator Artboards Missing Elements When Placed in InDesign
This has been a constant thorn in my side for the last year, it’s definitely an issue with recent updates as I have changed nothing about how I use these tools in the last 16 years.
Every time I need to add some illustrator artboards to indesign to create a concept deck, there will be a few artboards that import in with something missing.
I go back to illustrator to check to make sure there’s no hidden layers, no unusual settings differing between elements. Nothing. It’s completely random in what it decides it will show and what it will hide when imported into illustrator.
This is what is in the illustrator file:
This is what happens when I import the file to indesign as an artboard.
I’ve tried everything I can reasonably do to fix this. Even creating entirely new files to put the artboards into. Deleting them, saving and then putting the text back and saving again so the file updates in InDesign. I’m at my wits end with this.
