Problem I have since yesterday: If I put a free-standing image over a frame border and then create a PDF, the frame will be shown as a cut-out; you can see it disappear in acrobat, but a customer of mine printed it and the frame edge has been cut out everywhere where a logo or a free-standing image has been placed over it. We've both seen that for the first time since yesterday. He has an older version and I have the latest version.

Only over that border or also if you place it above the text?

My guess would also be a blend mode in the image itself (Check in Illustrator)

Also try turning on 'Overprint Preview' in Indesign.

It is solved, it was the PDF/X1 Adobe preset, what always worked, but now I switched to a higher one

It looks like a Blending Mode Effect getting rendered differently in the PDF reader, Check to see if there is a Blend Mode applied to any of the interacting objects.

It is solver it was caused by the Adobe PDF preset PDF/X-1 which one always worked until now ha ha I switched now to X-4

A guess is that you used PDF/X1-a or some other flavor of Acrobat 4 compatibility or the customer is using something other than Acrobat. If that's not the case, please post the PDF.
