    When importing an Illustrator file into an InDesign document, in the dialogue box you get a checkbox for ‘Transparent Background’.
    If this is not checked at the time, can you change this later on, rather than importing the graphic again?

    Thanks ;-)

    If you don’t want a transparent background, then you can change the Fill of the frame to “Paper”.

    I’m not aware of any ramifications of doing this.

    Thanks for the reply Eugene,

    I don’t believe that would work. Once the Illustrator file has been placed without the transparency being checked, changing the fill of the frame doesn’t seem to make any difference and the background is still be white.

    I can replace the graphic using ‘Place’ and select transparency and this would work. I just wanted to know if the checkbox hasn’t been checked, if it can be ‘checked’ as it were, without having to place the graphic again.
