: Place into InDesign and keep transparent padding / exact artboard size? When I place a vector image like an Illustrator file or PDF into an InDesign file, InDesign always trims away any clear
When I place a vector image like an Illustrator file or PDF into an InDesign file, InDesign always trims away any clear whitespace around the artwork. This causes problems because normally, I've set up the artboards to be exactly the size I want, and when I update or re-link the link, if the amount of padding changes, the image may be resized.
How can I force InDesign to respect the exact size of the file I'm placing and stop trimming or cropping away any whitespace?

Took a while, but I found it:
When choosing the file to place, in the bottom left, tick "Show import options":
Under Options, switch to one of Crop, Trim, Bleed or Media. These will respect the whitespace - they're the same unless the placed file has crop and bleed or media settings that InDesign understands, in which case, choose whichever suits your needs.
This then becomes the new default.
