: InDesign - Content going into other page? I just made myself a 18 page InDesign document to print. Then I drew Graphic Frames that line up to the page edges and placed my images (Using File

@Murray976

I think your question is perhaps a tad confusing due to usage of non-common terminology. So for the sake of trying to answer, I'm going to assume:


"files" actually means placed images
"marquee box" actually means Graphic Frame
"black margin line" actually means page edge


If these assumptions are incorrect, please click the EDIT link under your question and provide more detail.



So.. the issue....

You've got document pages....
You've drawn a graphic frame which should line up with your page edge....
You've then used File > Place to place (linked) images inside the graphic frames....
When you export to PDF, you are seeing some images overlapping extra pages undesirabley.

That seems to be the issue, again, please EDIT and correct the question if this is not the issue.



All you need to do is turn on snapping (View > Guides & Grids > Snap to Guides) and zoom in on a page corner.

Then using the Move Tool (black arrow), click the graphic and its frame should highlight.

Ensure the edge of the graphic frame is indeed at the edge of your page by moving the frame's handle at the corner.

It's sometimes easy to over or undershoot the page edge if you aren't zoomed in. Turning on the snapping should make the graphic frame snap to the edge when you get close to it. And you'll want to check opposite corners.. top right and bottom left... or top left and bottom right.. for any page that has a graphic frame at it's edge.

A perhaps easier solution may be to utilize a small bleed which would allow images to slightly overlap the page edges. This is highly dependent upon your end output though and what the PDF is destined for. If you are setting up a PDF for commercial printing, bleeds should always be used if anything is meant to trail off the edge of a document page. Also note, that with a press-ready PDF that contains bleeds and marks, you will absolutely see opposite page content in a single page PDF. That's how bleeds work. I honestly don't know if this may be what you are referring to.
