Indesign randomly ignoring Illustrator artwork

[Tom258935824rl2]

Sometimes when I place an Illustrator artwork into InDesign, it arbitrarily ignores certain elements of the design.
The only solution is to duplicate the artboard and hope it picks up that one. This can take 10-15 attempts.

This bug slows the workflow down a lot — anyone got a solution?

We've got almost nothing to go on. You could start with some screenshots to demonstrate the issue along with versions of InDesign, Illustrator and your operating system.

Are the ignored parts of the Illustrator design on separate layers? If yes, have you checked to see if the visibility of these layers are turned on?

Are you using any third party plug-ins with InDesign, Illustrator or your operating system? If so try disabling them and see if the problem persists. If this does turn out to be the case then make sure that the plug-ins get updated for full compatibility with the programs and the OS.

Hi Tom,

What happens if you simply press Shift+F5 to redraw the InDesign screen?

Are you using the correct File > Place to bring in the Illustrator artwork?
