I received an Ad (PDF file) from a designer that had 5 photo images at the bottom. When I take that PDF and place it into InDesign (CS3) template and make a PDF file of it - 2 of the images disappear! Is it an overprint preview issue? HELP!
Place the pdf alone. How does it look in Overprint Preview?
Export to pdf, place your exported pdf.
This sounds like a problem I used to see with PDFs supplied by Quark users. By default, Quark is set to use OPI, and the missing images probably have OPI comments.
