I work at a prepress company and just need to warn about an InDesign feature. When placing ai and/or pdf files there is an option to leave the background transparent, or not. This is the good part. The downside is that when updating links the original setting is ignored and the current setting of this checkbox is the one used for updated links. Senario, placing a pdf that is not transparent ia a job works as normal, as on unchecks the transparent background box. At a later date opening an InDesign file containnig irregularly shaped .ai icons but the links have been moved to a server. If the links are updated they will have white backgroung. What I must do is know about the problem. Open place a pdf or ai file to select transparent background, now I may update my links�but what do I do If some of the PDF files that need updated links need transparent background and others opaque?�sorry don't have an answer, maybe just wait till CS3 or is there anyone else who knows?
