HI!

So I have coloured circle shapes I created on photoshop, and put into the Creative Cloud Library which I then moved to Indesign, and it looks great on InDesign. However every time I have exported the file as a PDF the shapes became a little distorted, I need this to stay the same for when it goes into printing. Is there anything I can do? See below how it looks:

Why are you created color circular shapes in Photoshop and bringing them into InDesign?

The circle is pixelated because it is saved as pixels in Photoshop. You can create exactly the same shape in InDesign with the Ellipse tool, and it will be vector (not pixelated).
