Quark Forums

Hi all,

Running QXP 7.31 on Leopard.

I have a single-page layout with a number of picture boxes. About 2/3 of these picture boxes contain rotated images. The images are monochrome TIFFs with the background color set to None.

Whenever I export to PDF, export to EPS, or print to PDF, the resulting file is missing all of the rotated images. If I rotate the picture box instead of the image itself, the pictures appear.

I realize the best practice would be to rotate the images outside of Quark before importing them, and I may get to that point, but does anyone have any idea what might be going on here?

Thanks,

Dave

Hey there- I feel your pain.  I too have had this issue with Quark, and of course, right when a client needed to see a pdf too... aaarrrggg!  Anyway, after reading your post above I unrotated my images and *poof* they showed up in the exported pdf.  Totally lame if you ask me, having to edit the original so that the image shows.  It's very anti-productive.  Eitherway, has anyone else discovered this flaw? Just wish I knew about this earlier...

Hum! Facing the same issue. My service provider now asks me to send PDFs instead of native files and I'm unable to output a neat PDF. My rotated logo disappears at output!

Any fix around there?

OK. My problem was a greyscale tiff file imported in a Quark document, colorized and rotated. Since greyscale was not necessary, I turned my pic into Bitmap mode and there you go! Issue fixed. HTH.
