export to pdf

[lottev62674025]

Hi can somebody help me with this problem.

I used several images in an InDesign document: https://we.tl/t-aLwMqLwH6l

I did an export to a PDF: https://we.tl/t-70QS3a4a98

I used the PDF in an other program so users can automaticely chose their image and change it.

But image 1 isn't an image anymore so the program can't change it in an image.

Image 1 is a jpg and iamge 2 is a jpg with the same settings.

I opened the pdf  in acrobat reader to see what happened with the images.

Than I saw that my image 1 wasn't an image anymore (it changed in a vector/graphic)...

But my image 2 is still an image...
How is that even possible?

I don't get what you're trying to do...

What do you mean by that?
Your PDF has no link or any kind of connection to your InDesign doc.

Thanks for your reaction but I have found my problem.

I don't get what you're trying to do either.

That being said, looking at your InDesign document, your image 1 is an illustrator .ai file, and not a jpg. I think you placed the wrong file there by accident.

Thanks a lot, I made a mistake, it's definetely because I used the .ai file an not .jpg.

So stupid.

A PDF is a ”finished” format, it's not for editing. You can produce an Interactive PDF where users can complete text fields but it can't be enabled so the use can insert images.

Thanks for your reaction. I have seen what the problem is with my InDesign file.
