Hallo zusammen
Kann mir jemand einen Tipp geben?
Wir sind ein Architekturbüro und müssen Pläne als PDF ins InDesign importieren.
Bei einigen Symbolen, zb. Bäumen, wird der Hintergrund im InDesign weiss, sodass die Bäume dann auf weissen Rechecken im Plan stehen.
Die Baumsymbole sind PNGs haben also einen transparenten Hintergund.
Kennt sich damit jemand aus?
Lieben Dank...

Turn on Import Options when placing the PDF, there you can set the background to Transparent or not.

Then: if (1) your imported PNG file have a transparent background, but (2) the PDF you created from them does not, it got lost in the PDF conversion.
This is the same PNG image, placed into an InDesign and exported as PDF. Left: compatible with Acrobat 4 (PDF 1.3), which does not support "live" transparency. Right: compatible with Acrobat 5 (PDF 1.4), which does.
Even though the image background is transparent in the InDesign document – the blue and orange rectangles appear 'below' and 'on top' of the image in both versions –, the transparent background itself cannot be exported as an older PDF version.
There is nothing you can fix in these files; you need to recreate them, and make sure to save them with a setting that does allow transparency.

What kind of PDF is it? If it is PDF/X1-a or PDF/X-3 or any printed PDF or any postscript related PDF and you have used transparency or drop shadow you will get a white background.
Use only PDF/X-4 if you place PDFs in InDesign.
