Why are there white lines in InDesign preview mode

[Bim_H]

See attached screenshot, these lines appear in the same place on every spread when viewed in preview mode of InDesign CC 2015 - how do I fix this??

Its still that way. Still disturbing. Come on, Adobe

I have had overprint preview bugs for more than a year - and I also have the white lines without rulers. I noticed it originally when using the Separations Preview panel. I have submitted bug reports the Adobe but no feedback. I did a post on this community: There is a link in the post to a video, and I wonder if you can replicate the same garbled results using the same steps as in the video?

just for the record—turning on rulers fixed my overprint preview (no lines). Thank you.

Turning on rules works for me using Overprint Preview. But in Presentation mode don't. Sad...

Toggling rulers remove the weird lines for me but this is not a fix to the problem. Is this bug being looked at by @Adobe ?

[Stephan Moebius]

6 years later... Adobe still has not fixed it.

[G_Man]

Yup, same for me in 2022. Pitiful.

Still not fixed in 2022. Adobe, wtf. Overprint view + preview has a white line.

[G_Man]

Adobe - we know that changing to Presentation Mode (shift + w) removes the white line, but it should be there in the first place. Surely this is an easy fix. Switching to Presentation Mode is NOT a solution.

I think its crazy if you think about it. its a known bug since I use indesign around 2012… now more then 10 years later its still there and just shows how adobe is not really working on indesign since a while and just sitting on its monopole.

It is not a  bug, it is caused by transparancy flattening. Use PDF/X-4 instead of flattened file types or postscript.

[G_Man]

It IS seriously irritating - and unnecccessary. 

[Manstrup]

And still in 2023 the lines is there! I mean the software is not cheap Adobe! Even Affinity does this better! Please fix it

[Willi Adelberger]

It is solved, use PDF/X-4 or any PDF without flattening transparency or with postscript involved.

[Manstrup]

This is happening in app, not when exporting to pdf

[BobLevine]

There is absolutely nothing to fix!

[Manstrup]

Really?? This occurs when in "Overprint preview" and screen mode is set to "Preview". The only way to get it to go away, is to turn on the rulers. I still count this as a bug.

[G_Man]

This is not an issue in relation to PDF. It is an issue in relation to Overprint preview, and has been an issue dfor 10 years or so.
