Hello,
I have a plan on Archicad that I saved as a PDF. I saved the PDF with the reference (or ghost floor). Normally, once saved as a PDF, the reference is only visible where nothing is drawn. However, once imported into InDesign, the entire reference appears, even on the drawn plan. The plan becomes illegible. I don't know how to keep my image as saved in the PDF...
Thank you

I don't know Archicad, but if the PDF export uses the layer system, those can be selected and used or not in Indesign.
When importing the PDF file into Indesign, check "Import Options" in the "Import" window... And see if the layers are available or not.-
Hello, thank you very much for your response and I'm sorry for not getting back to you sooner.
I didn't have to try your suggestion since at print time, there were no more foreground layers! However, even in the overprint preview, the reference was visible but when printed on paper, well, no. I don't know why but it's a good thing! :)
