Strange outlines in PDF 2

[soledadsister]

Hi there.

I'm creating a high res PDF of an InDesign document to go to the printer. It's rammed full of images which are fine except for a series of them which have been rotated slightly so that they are off centre. Basically, the effect is meant to be like a handful of photographs that have been thrown down randomly.

When I export the document, these rotated images have a ghost of their original, straight outline position around them. And, where this passes over text, it makes the text appear to be almost entirely transparent.

Any ideas of what's causing this? And how to stop it?


Thanks.

...never heard of anything quite as strange as this from indesign, have you tried playing around with the transparancy flattener before export?

...try rotating the images in photoshop first and re-import them as psd's...

Try to always have text on the topmost layer.

And I would second the suggestion to do the rotation in Photoshop and then replace the images.
