Images are being rescaled when relinking files. I’ve checked my preferences and Make Content-Aware Fit the default frame fitting option is turned off and in File Handling, Preserve Image Dimensions When Relinking is checked on. I've checked the original pdf dimensions against the new ones and they are all the same dimensions. I've checked the individual frame options as well and that is fine. Any suggestions on this?

i have been experiencing the same issue. i was attributing it to saving it to .idml 3-4 times a day to have a co-worker open the files in indesign 2018. i take you are not having to do that?

No, we are all on the same platform Jonathan.

Try restoring InDesign preferences. That's not affecting most people since the 14.0.2 update in InDesign CC 2019 so it must be something else.

Resetting preferences didn't work. The same thing is happening to my coworker. He's on a PC, I'm on a Mac. We just upgraded from CS5 to CC 2019 so the InDesign files are converted from CS5. No problem in CS5...only once we bring it into the newest version of InDesign.

Hi Karen.

hi Jonathan!

Could someone of you provide a sample InDesign document where you see the issue?

Download to Dropbox or a similar service and provide the download link.

There has to be a distinct cause for this and I'm willing to do some tests on my side.

Regards,
Uwe

I'll try to get a file for you. Meeting a press deadline this morning so hopefully later today. Where do I provide the download link?
