Pathfinder options.

It´s not that. This I know how to do.

Let´s say I want to make a cylinder shape leave the page. I know that I can subtract parts, but what I really want is to subtract from a shape that has a stroke BUT as you can see in the picture I don´t want the stroke to be applied on the area that I subtracted.

Hi Norvi:

I'm not clear on the desired outcome so let's start here:

• In InDesign the pathfinder options are in two locations—Object > Pathfinder and Window > Object & Layout > Pathfinder. They aren't as robust at the pathfinder commands in Illustrator but work the same way.
• If you know how to accomplish what you want in Illustrator, you can always do it there, and then place the artwork in InDesign.

OK so I have a shape with a fill and a stroke. I want to subtract using another shape BUT I don´t want to keep the fill of the area subtracted.

Now, I see an image and a frame. Are you trying to cut out the frame?

Or do you want something more like this:

We can help if you can better describe the desired outcome.
