Question

Indesign Exporting - Images low quality / Image cut off

I am having an issue with images in my document being spliced off in the PDF output. Indesign shows it fully within the bounding box but it does not translate well. I have tried different ways (High Quality, Press Quality, etc) and I have disabled the compression aspects as well.

Did you find a solution? I am having the same issue. Last time I had this issue, I needed to add whitespace around the image and then save it again. With the image I am currently working on, I cannot edit the image.

Are you using File>Export>Adobe PDF to make your pdf? I could see something like this happening if you were using the out of date method of exporting a postscript file (with the page size incorrectly set) and then using Acrobat distiller to create the PDF.

    What file type is it? 

    Are there any clipping paths/compound paths applied to the image itself if you open the image to edit it?

    Its a PNG of a logo that there wasn't a vector file to be used. I been changing it to JPG and nothing. I have to save it as a PSD and manually move the copyright icon closer to try to make it somewhat work so far. But I never had an issue like this before.
