I got this message " Cannot crop to bleed box. Either the bleed box is not defined, or is empty:

    When you place the PDF make sure you select show options. Those options are sticky and if you have an option selected that doesn't apply to the current file, this could happen.

    Very strange I have used Indesing for 20 years, never have had this message?

    It has always been this (see image)

    - but if I choose "show import options", It shows up with a preview, which I don't used to see before today?

      And? Is there an additional question here?

      Can you now place your PDF?
