When you create a PDF from InDesign you should check it carefully to
see if it has arranged the page elements in a way that it considers
more pleasing than the original design.
This is a 1.2Mb InDesign package (CS3) of a live job that we had on
Friday evening (I've made all the images solid black and removed their
profiles to keep the size down and avoid upsetting the clients):
<http://www.web36531.clarahost.co.uk/filedump/InDesignBug.dmg>
Download it and export a PDF from it to see if it matches the one that
I've included on the disk image. If you haven't got CS3, you can view
the PDF here:

[The artwork has no bleed and the PDF settings had the bleed disabled
- so why is the first image bleeding and why is the offset at the top
of the page greater than it is at the bottom?]
All we did was replace the low resolution positionals with our high
resolution images prior to creating the PDF.
Our settings were for a PDF/X-1a with crop marks, page information and
5mm offset and no colour conversion for this non-bleed ad for a US
newsprint publication.
What we got were distorted and shifted page objects which will jump
around even more if you select bleed marks, color bars and
registration marks!
This doesn't happen if you use Distiller to create the PDF - so why is
InDesign screwing things up?
