Convert PDF to an InDesign document (bug)

Hi everyone,

I have been playing with converting PDFs to InDesign; a new feature.

Many (but not all) of the graphic frames it generates have the yellow rounded-corner box widget frame adornment in the bottom-left of the frame; not in the upper-right of the frame. And yet the graphic frame is not rotated.

The Control Panel does not show the graphic frame as rotated, yet to get the yellow dot back to the proper position, you have to Flip Horizontal and also Rotate 90 CCW.

Anyone else seeing this? Possible bug?

I haven't used it too much. Is it happening with all files?

Hi Bob,

All my test files show this in an unpredictable occurrance. Some frames are ok, some are confusedly flipped and rotated.
