We recently upgraded to CS4 from CS3.?We have several files set up with a graphic frame, into which we place pdfs.
Since upgrading to CS4 when we place a new pdf into the frame it will randomly reduce or enlarge the new pdf.?I've tried several different import options, and I've placed a new frame, imported my graphic at 100% and saved it as a CS4 file, closed the document and reopened it, and it still happens.
I googled the problem and found one comment on a review that mentioned something similiar, but no solutions.?I was wondering if anyone else has encountered this and a way to fix it is known.
Thank you.
Problems when placing graphics into...Select frame, choose Object%26gt;Fitting%26gt;Frame Fitting Options and select fitting method.
Problems when placing graphics into...Are you saying the placed image is a different size when the save document is closed and re-opened? That would be a bug and should be reported, along with an offer to supply a sample file, at Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form.
If that isn't what you meant, what did you mean? Can you post a link to this other comment, please?
ID tends to remember, at least for the current session, the cropping options you chose from the last PDF you placed. Is it possible that's what's causing you to see unexpected results?

Going into fitting options didn't work,
When I go to that screen none is selected, it shouldn't be resizing anything.
Thank you, though.

The placed image is the same size, however when I import a new pdf into that frame that new pdf is resizing.?The box is set to none as far as fitting is concerned and it doesn't seem to matter which import option I select.
I haven't been able to find the page I was on agian.?It was just a standard review of CS4's new features.?It was referencing a blurb about thier new proportional fitting option though.
The program has been shut down and restarted and it's still doing it, and as I mentioned above, the fitting option is set to none, the pdf being replaced is scaled at 100%, I've tried replacing the frame and importing a pdf and it is still randomly rescaling them.
I wanted to check and see if anyone new something about it before reporting it as a bug, but will do that if I don't hear anything.
Thanks
Getting the same problem here as well...this is strange, as this is the only thread I could find on the problem...
If you have reported it, can you let me know how it goes...

- Are you running any third party plug-ins with InDesign? Can you test after disabling these?
- What Import Options are you using?
Also:
- Preferences %26gt; File Handling. Is Preserve Image Dimensions When Relinking enabled by any chance?
Hi Cari
Preserve image dimensions is ticked on.
Problem happens when mutlipage PDF is placed into ID and imposed and sent away for approval.
When it comes back with replacement PDF. The replacement PDF is then relinked via either the links pallet or File%26gt;place method (happens both ways).
for example if the original PDF is placed at 100%
Sent away for approval
Updated PDF replaces old PDF which, instead of coming in at 100%, comes in at, for example, 98.569% (in proportion, so it's not fitting to frame)
Strange...Have run all updates.
PS no third party plug ins
Marcus
Do you have dimensions include stroke weight selected?
Bob
Nope, make no difference, I'm afraid
What's the source of the PDF? We had a similar problem with someon placing AI artwork. Though I'm not sure it was ever definitively solves, I think it was a stray point.
Peter
are there marks on the ones that change size.
Umm it's from the same source...but you can imagine they could come from everywhere...
This problem has only cropped up since CS4...CS3 worked fine
It should still come in at 100% regardless of the size of the source file instead it come in at 98.56584 or some other obscure percentage
By source I meant what application was used to make them.
It could be anything as the files come from everywhere and anywhere... they travel from client to little local print shop to pre-press house. The pre-press is the one imposing and running plates for the print shop and thus having the issue...
I don't see how it matters as it should come in at whatever the percentage the previous file was be it 100% or 50%
Only that editing could have added or removed some element that would change the dimensions.
Oh right...fair point.
But shouldn't it still stay at 100% of that file, regardless of whether that file is 10 feet wide of 2 feet wide it should still update and/or replace at 100%
Preserve dimensions does precisely that 2 x 3 remains 2x3, even if the new file is 4x6. It isn't a percentage based setting.
Preserve dimension is selected in the preferences... it works in CS3...
If I insert a PDF in a picture frame at 100% and later down the line I replace that PDF with another, I expect it to go in at the percentage of the previous PDF which was 100%
If I'm replacing a whole stack of PDF pages layed out in different picture frames in for example I expect them to come in at whatever percentage.
I don't expect to have to change some obscure percentage back to, say 100%, on every single picture frame...
Preserve dimensions works so that if you re-sample an image, for example, and relink it remains the same physical size in the frame.
Try UNCHECKING it and see if that helps.
Bingo!...
They turned off preserve image dimension, and it came in at whatever the old one was set to.
That doesn't make sense to me... I read it as preserving the image size not preserving image content size
