Adobe InDesign Picture Boxes with fills

[cat]

We had a client that had built a page lay file in InDesign. Round picture shapes with a white fill no stroke on top of an over all background photo box. Match print looked fine, Soft proof looked fine, trap editor looked ok, and when the plates were output, there was a white line around round picutre image. Other round picture images that were on the same page filled and stroked none did not have this problem. Go back into Trap editor, thinkng it is a trapping function. Trap Editor does not even recognize the white hairline. It was set with no trap as it was 2 color image over 2 color image. When we turned off the white fill in InDesign file ripped fine. I am posting this more to see if anyone else is having similar issues. Also have had shadow and gradient issues with InDesign files.

I've seen this on picture boxes with fills - a wee bit of the fill color around the round edges. Also can happen with strokes on the picture box set to "inside" of the shape. No solution that I know of other than to set the fills to none and strokes to align center of the paths.

I've not had gradient or shadow issues, but I'm not using a Scren workflow.

Having a graphic design background in addition to prepress I have run across this problem on both ends using InDesign CS2.

When creating a PDF out of InDesign you will need to revert the PDF back to Acrobat 4 compatible. This is done in the output pane when creating settings.

You will then notice that a checkable box "simulating overprint" will bolden up allowing you to check it. Then check it and continue on with leaving the rest of the settings as you always would.

Why this is necessary I am not sure but I have found it eliminates the picture boxes being filled. It works so I use it. Hope this helps!!
