Thanks Bodesman for your suggestion, I have tried that as well, what happens is the orignal stroke weight gets reduced by a substantial amount and therefore is nowhere near what would be acceptable. It did cure the red arrow from being too big in the white bounding box area, but is too thin no in the image area.
Having worked in the printing industry for 18 years, I can tell you that I am glad trapping is primarily handled at the RIP by most printers in the states ? it makes my job easier. However, I travel to Asia for press checks on big jobs and their capability in terms of hardware and software is about 10 years behind us. With that said, they rely on film positives and for proofing they use wet proofs made specifically off of a printing press solely dedicated to printing proofs with ink from plates. Getting a CREO halftone proof is not an option - already spooke to the CREO rep in that area of the world an there are no installation for proofiing, but they are using CTP.
The printers that we use have a mixed bag of trapping capability, and there in lies the problem. They can trap certain elements, but not all. Due to the huge cost in project delays after I fly over due to incorrect file prep on there end, we have taken over that responsibiltiy. It has always been pretty easy and straightforward (trapping) except we switched to InDesign and I can not get it to do what I need it to do.
Once again, any help is appreciated. I can always email a PDF of the results that I am getting so anyone can see the anomolies I am getting.
