Quick Tips - Adobe InDesign

Adobe InDesign (all versions)

InDesign appears to have difficulty in accurately determining the actual outer edges of certain placed objects. This is usually related to an outline or similar stroked shape. To prevent any unintended cropping at the outer edges when placing vector EPS files (such as Illustrator, CorelDraw, of FreeHand) in InDesign it is a very good idea to pull out the cropping handles slightly on each side because InDesign will often crop these images very slightly on one or more sides.
