1. Re: Drop shadow from one master appearing on a page with a different master CS5
P Spier Aug 12, 2010 7:52 AM (in response to E Diane King)Are the shapes grouped?

2. Re: Drop shadow from one master appearing on a page with a different master CS5
E Diane King Aug 12, 2010 7:55 AM (in response to P Spier)Additional information that might be useful. The parchment graphic is a full spread ID shape with smaller shapes grouped to it. The shadow was applied to the group and then the group was pasted into a frame that was duplicated. The two identical frames were then used to crop the full spread image to each page at the gutter.
Peter . . I was in the process of adding this info when you replied. There is a group involved, but the groups are pasted into frames that crop it to each side of the master spread. That cropping appears to work when the page is on the left, but not when it is on the right.

3. Re: Drop shadow from one master appearing on a page with a different master CS5
P Spier Aug 12, 2010 7:55 AM (in response to P Spier)I should add that I'm almost certain they are in order to get a single shadow rather than one shadow on each half, which would overlap one shape or the other.
I'm not sure there's a solution for this other than to make a second two-page master based on the first and adjust only that margin, then apply it to both pages in the spread when required (or split the spread as you are doing now).

4. Re: Drop shadow from one master appearing on a page with a different master CS5
P Spier Aug 12, 2010 8:19 AM (in response to E Diane King)Lots of cross posting...
Check the position of the edge of the cropped frame. I had a problem when it wasn't dead on the spine and the frame had the shadow applied...
Further investigation pasting the shadowed frame into another and cropping that reproduces your error, but good news, I think. If you select the cropped frame and pick a proxy point that is supposed to be on the spine, then subtract an infinitesimal amount, like .0001 from the x coordinate to move it left, or add the same if you need to move the right half right, ID will round the result back to the original dimension, but the ghost will disappear.
At least it seems to work for me on two-page lettersize spreads working with rulers in inches.
I think this is a bug, and I think we've discussed it before and I stumbled on the same solution last time.

5. Re: Drop shadow from one master appearing on a page with a different master CS5
E Diane King Aug 12, 2010 8:24 AM (in response to P Spier)Ah, creating a "split" master where I copied the content of the full page spread (right page) onto the right hand page and applied the other master to the left hand page fixed it. Applying the full page spread master to the split master created the same problem. Weird issue, but this workaround fixes it for me.
Any idea why the shadow is ghosting in without the object? That just seems so weird. Especially when it does it on one side, but not the other.

6. Re: Drop shadow from one master appearing on a page with a different master CS5
E Diane King Aug 12, 2010 8:27 AM (in response to P Spier)I just tried the bumping the frame over by the small amount and forcing ID to round it back and that did NOT work, but the extra split spread does work and is a lot easier to use than spliting up the spreads.
Thanks for you help. Should I report the bug?

7. Re: Drop shadow from one master appearing on a page with a different master CS5
E Diane King Aug 12, 2010 8:48 AM (in response to E Diane King)K, tried the bumping it over thing again and it worked this time. I did the wrong side the first time I tried it. This time I did both sides and the ghost has gone away and I don't have to use the extra master.
Nice thing is that I can load the masters from this doc into the others so it should fix all of them.
Thanks for your help, Peter.

8. Re: Drop shadow from one master appearing on a page with a different master CS5
P Spier Aug 12, 2010 10:02 AM (in response to E Diane King)It's just a guess, but I think this might be related to the old bug in CS3 (?) where objects touching the spine showed even when the master was switched. I certainly wouldn't want to discourage you from reporting it.

9. Re: Drop shadow from one master appearing on a page with a different master CS5
E Diane King Aug 12, 2010 10:28 AM (in response to P Spier)Just filed a bug report. I linked to this thread, so they can see an example and see that you were able to recreate the problem on your end. Thanks for your help!
