Problem when importing pictures exported from illustrator projects

[noursenh52741304]

Hi,

I frequently use illustrator to create infographics and icons and I usually need a transparent background, (to use it afterwards in indesign)

so I export my work activating the transparency option but when I import the same picture on indesign there's some additional lines showing up making my picture imperfect (even when I enable the high definition display option).

I noticed that this problem only occurs with transparent PNG files and not with JPEG format.

Also, exporting my indesign file to a high definition PDF did not solve the problem.

I have to mention that when I open the same picture with windows photo viewer the picture is perfect.

Could you please help me to find a solution to this problem.

Thank you guys.

you export pngs and jpegs from illustrator and link them in indesign? why not just link the illustrator files?

[noursenh52741304]

thank you, that was it

Could you be more specific about what you're creating in Illustrator that requires saving as PNG rather than .ai?

I actually did not thought of it.

I just tried it and everything seems to be good.

Thank you for your help.

I just have an additionnal question:

If I import the .ai instead of pictures, when I generate the whole project package (with links and fonts and everything for impression) will the .ai files be present too ?

yeah the ai files will be packaged.
