InDesign convert to pdf

[karthik_5684]

Hi Team, 

Once I have prepared the artwork with Illustrator and given the link to InDesign. I convert InDesign to PDF, but the conversion to PDF has some bounding boxes around gradients, so kindly help me out.

For more clarity, videos are attached.

When you place Illustrator files, save them as ai or pdf/ -4, and place them. Avoid eps. Pdf/x-1a or  -3 or any other file type.

Well. For starters, you didn't use the [PDF/X-4:2008] PDF preset in either Illustrator or InDesign, which is what @Willi Adelberger  suggested. Try this first and see if it makes any difference.

To avoid bounding boxes around gradients when exporting InDesign to PDF, always place your Illustrator artwork as a PDF- or AI-compatible file with “Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities” checked, then export from InDesign using PDF/X-4 or a High/Press Quality preset with Acrobat 5 (PDF 1.4) or higher, which preserves live transparency and prevents flattening artifacts.

Still not resolved this issue For more information, please find the attached videos. Could you please help me to resolve this? I have been struggling for one month.

Have you also tried making a pdf using a preset (press quality) instead of exporting?

And using another pdf reader to view your pdfs? i.e.: Acrobat Reader

Is it possible for you to share 1 illustrator file? So i can see if i get the same results when pdf-ing.

You can also try saving the Illustrator file as an older version i.e.: version 10

And use a new InDesign document with 1 image and create the pdf with a preset. Same results?
