Thank you. I’m going even deeper down the rabbit hole now.

That link worked to help me fix the problem.

I’m trying to understand why YDB shows up anyways. It just makes no sense. I used the Flattener preview and I can see where my text is around images with transparent objects (near, or on top of). That’s exactly where the YDBs are showing up.

So one isn’t to put text over graphics with transparent backgrounds without getting YDB? How’s that suppose to work? I overlay objects with transparent backgrounds frequently.

Seems like a bug in InDesign to me. Just crazy.

Anyways, his tip of using less vector and more raster worked. I created my own flattener preset and the issue went away. But in reading the comments, 1) it seems like it’ll make a larger file, and 2) breaks the benefit of line art (scalability and small file size).

Insane. My head hurts.
