Hi all,
I’m at wit’s end with a co-production project that I’m working on. In the proofs from the printer there’s one mistake that I simply don’t know how to fix.
Since it’s a co-production, the printer is only customising the black/text plate for each language edition of the book. Now, when I received the files initially, I moved all the non-text objects to an Images layer that I made. This worked fine for every single object in the document except for two:
On one of the pages, there are a couple of arrows (illustrations) that intersect with both a graphics frame and a text frame. These arrows are supposed to lay on top of both of these frames. When I moved the arrows with all the other graphics frames to the Images layer, the text boxes obscured them. This seemed to be because the Images layer lay underneath the Text layer. Unfortunately I couldn’t simply move the Images layer to the top in the layers panel, as that messed up a lot of other places. So what I did was to create a new layer, the Arrow layer, to which I moved these two arrows. I then put the Arrows layer to the top in the layers panel. STILL, the text boxes have been placed on top when I got new proofs from the printer.
When I export, I make one file containing only the Text layer, and one file containing both the Images and Arrows layer. Is this the problem? In that case I might have to include the Arrows layer in the “Text / Black only” PDF.
Any and all help would be very much appreciated. If my post is poorly worded, I have screenshots of the proofs I got from the printer, as well as the page + the layers panel in my indesign document.
