Reply To: PDF export: circle icon has a flat tire

No David, the graphic was pasted from Ai to Ps, then rasterized. The working doc resolution was set at 300dpi, saved that to a Ps PDF. I then placed it in Id. This resulted in the ‘flat tire’ for the circle. Note: I ditched this file and don’t really intend to recreate it.

Then the second try, I made a PSD of the logo, without the circle that got me the flat tire, only kept the lettering of the logo. When placed, it looks ok-ish, but surely not as sharp as when viewed in Ps. I printed this, and the print pretty much showed what I saw on screen (although the quality is acceptable).

This just leads me to believe that Id doesn’t handle placed PSD’s with a transparent background that well for items that usually need a vector format (e.g. logos). Does this sound as a common issue?
