Illustrator gradients to InDesign

[Dave Creamer of IDEAS]

Is the copy-and-paste of Illustrator gradients into an InDesign file broken again? I remember it broke a few versions back but was fixed. It doesn't want to work for me again.

Hi David,

what kind of gradient does not work?

CMYK? RGB? 

Linear? Radial?

Freeform did never work.

RGB will not work.

CMYK should work.

It was an I/O error (Incompetent Operator). I didn't notice my ID AI file was in RGB mode. Thanks.

"I didn't notice my ID file was in RGB mode."

FWIW: You certainly mean "my AI file was in RGB mode"…
