Colleen ShannonYes it does, as a PDF you can download.

The “White” part of the bitmap is what’s colored in InDesign, so you may need to Invert your image in Photoshop first.
If you need both the image and background to be gradients, make the gradient in Photoshop, make background transparent, save as PSD, then place in InDesign and apply gradient to the image (Selection tool).

Colleen ShannonIf the images are photographs where color is crucial, converting to CMYK first is best. (Use batch scripts in Photoshop)
Otherwise, find out from your printer what they prefer. Many RIPs are now set up so that RGB is the preferred format; the RIP will convert to CMYK.
Colleen ShannonMaybe it has to do with Glyphs? Try Preferences > Advanced Type > Missing Glyph Protection or > Composition > Substituted Glyphs

Colleen ShannonThis is the hard reality that our systems and our software eventually needs replacing. Fonts are software and simply won’t work on newer systems.
You can try to bandage the problem by .zipping font folders to protect them in transit, or by using a font manager like Suitcase, but the writing is on the wall: switch over to .otf as soon as possible. (And hold onto any font that has an .otf or .ttf extension)
Colleen ShannonI think we need to restart your problem. It sounds like you should not use Package and keep the font folder separate. Remember, Package is only going to make a copy of the instances of the font (i.e. Regular and italic), not the entire set.
I troubleshoot this sort of thing at work all the time, so contact me at email in Profile with specifics and maybe we can wrangle it to the ground!
Colleen ShannonAfter you Package your files, right click on the folder and Compress (to create a .zip file).
If the fonts don’t work anymore, you can try using a font management app like Suitcase, or start replacing old fonts with new versions. Look for True Type and OTF fonts, .ttf and .otf extensions.
Colleen ShannonAlso: Save InDesign as Separate Pages:
Colleen ShannonThis also looks like the color shift you get from switching from RGB to CMYK mode. If it’s for screen use, make sure it stays RGB. If it’s going to be printed, CMYK gives a better representation of what it will look like printed. (Agree that there should not be any spot colors used.)
Colleen ShannonThis problem with old fonts has been around for many years and will only get worse. I tell clients that I will use newer versions of their fonts because the ones they use are unstable. If the font is free, you can send them a new font file. Otherwise, they can send you final PDFs or expect their document to be modernized!
Colleen ShannonYour fonts are outdated. You need to use fonts with the extension .ttf or .otf. Fonts used to have 2 files, one for screen and one for printing. You only have the screen file. Fonts are basically software and need to be updated occasionally.
Colleen ShannonNiels, I’m using the Export Book to PDF function. I’ve worked in prepress for 15 years and never seen this before!
It works fine when I individually export each PDF, and the Export to PDF function works fine in cc 2018. Troubleshot several variations with the same result. Posted to Adobe as well….
