Data Merge – PDF-Image Error
Hi there
We have the alarming situation, that we did some data merge with a bill in it which is set up as a image (PDF). We did a PDF for the costumer to check the personalization.
Afterwards we did made the PDF for printing.
Thats were the problem started, because the PDF of the bill was getting importet wrong. in the firstplace we imported the PDF with the Mediabox but since we edited some other files and placed some other PDF with trimbox the setting was saved in the indd presets and on the data merge we got the situation that on exporting the PDF the MediaBox was changed to the Cropbox, and so the pdf was getting enlarged to cover the same space as the PDF did. so some information got cropped by the Printing size.
it can’t be that the importing option of a already placed PDF is changed. this is really dangerous!
Tested on INDD V18.5 and V19.0
