All of a sudden, my PDF for a booklet contains what looks like spiral binding graphics on the side of the pages. I didn't change my setting or anything. I've never seen this before. How do I shut those off?

Ok, we can be pretty sure it’s an InDesign thing. So I suggest you post now in the InDesign forum.

Because many people get messed up on this: I wasn't asking what app you have but which PDF viewer was actually in use at the instant of the problem. Don't assume that HAVING Acrobat means it will be used. Of course, they might be the same.

If you ARE opening in Acrobat, please try opening a BRAND NEW PDF - never opened in Acrobat ever - in Preview. What do you see?

Okay, I created a PDF as always, but rather than click on it to open, I previewed it. Still see the spiral binding art.

Can you post a screenshot?

Here is a screenshot of two pages from the PDF (book created in InDesign). My guess it's some setting in the InDesign document rather than a PDF issue?
