Enlarged bounding box around imported vector images (InDesign/Illustrator CC 2014)

Hi all, I've searched the forum for an answer but can't seem to find one. Hopefully someone can help.
Ever since my upgrade to CC2014, whenever I import a vector image from Illustrator into InDesign, the image comes in with an expanded bounding box. Unlike in the old days (i.e., the moment before I upgraded), when the bounding box would exactly enclose my image with no extra white space on any of the sides.
Sometimes the bounding box is small and sometimes it's gigantic. I cannot determine any rhyme or reason why it varies. Sometimes it's wider on the sides than on the top/bottom. Other times it's gigantic on one side but not the others. Basically, it's all over the place with no consistency that I can determine.
I find it incredibly visually distracting to have these weird-sized bounding boxes around my art, and it sucks to have to constantly resize them on every imported image.
I promise there are no guides, stray points, etc. in the Illustrator files. There is absolutely nothing "invisible yet there" that would create these expanded bounding boxes.
Two samples are below.
Note on this first one that the bounding box is wider at the right than the left.
On this second sample, note that the bounding box is gigantic in general, but especially at the top, and it's smaller on the sides/bottom. Huh?
Any ideas? I desperately want this to stop. Just want a bounding box that exactly encloses my artwork after I import it.
Thank you for your ideas or suggestions,
Laurie

Hi Bob, thanks very much for this info. I figured there was a checkbox hidden somewhere...
I tried all of the cropping options and although it seems like this would be a fix, it's unfortunately not fully resolving the issue.
The option that gets me closest is "crop to art." However, as you can see from the sample below, there's still a pretty large gap at the bottom, as well as a small one at the left side. (The top and right actually are cropped to the art, as requested.)
Do you have any other suggestions of things I can try? Or does anyone else have any ideas?
Thanks again,
Laurie

Bounding box around rollover images

Can anyone tell me how to remove a visible bounding box on
rollover images. The bounding box does not appear until you click
on the rollover image. This does not show up in Safari but does
show in IE and Firefox. Any help is appreciated.

No, I have no idea. But I realize, I may have given you a bum
steer. What
I was describing was the a:focus functionality which happens
BEFORE you
click. What you are asking about is something that you see
AFTER clicking,
right? In that case, try the CSS rule -
a img { outline:none; }
and see if that works.

Gray border box around row & column

Cant seem to find in the code or css where to change the
default gray border box that appear when inserting a new column or
row in my template (dreamweaver html template)...

Examine the CSS for background colors.

Bounding box around Text Illustrator CS2 12 Windows XP

My computer crashed while using Adobe Illustrator and when rebooting I have lost the bounding box when typing text. Now I am unable to resize my text. Any suggestions on how to get the bounding box back? Clicking the direct selection tool does nothing. I can outline the text but still no bounding box to grab and resize.
Should I reinstall Illustrator? Is there a default setting to go back to? If I shut down and reboot the same problem happens.

Is it just text objects or others, as well?

Box around flash files in explorer

I am doing a site with flash buttons and every tim i go to a
new page and roll over the buttons section a bounding box comes up
around everything that is flash. When you roll over it, it tells
you to click to activate this control.
it works fine in mozilla but not in explorer. I havent had
this problem until recently and i am wondering is it a new version
of explorer that is doing this and i need to change some browser
settings or something.
Here is the link to the test site.
http://www.firstlinemedia.com/test
Thanks

Hi Mike,
Sorry, but that link won't work.
Here is the text of the post:
At my company I create LMS enabled lessons to help clinicians
learn to use patient tracking software. We recently encountered a
small problem that might be encountered by others who use this
forum. I thought I’d post my experience.
The issue began when my company began upgrading computer
terminals with the latest version of Windows XP. The symptoms of
the problem occurred when a web page containing any active content,
such as Flash, QuickTime, etc., displayed via the latest version of
Internet Explorer.
Here is the sequence of events:
After a page containing active content loaded, the user would
hover a mouse over the (active) content. At that time two curious
things would occur; a gray “bounding box” would appear
around the borders of the active content, and a small message box
would appear saying “Click to activate and use this
control.”. The user would have to click the active content
(to make the message and bounding box disappear). After the message
and bounding box disappeared the active content would function as
intended.
For me this meant that HTML files where I had Flash embedded
(generated from a Captivate file) would require an initial mouse
click to activate the (Flash) control. (I had many short Flash/HTML
files strung together for form a single lesson. I did this to track
the users progress through the LMS.) Each time a HTML page with
active content loaded the user would have to repeat the mouse
click. This was not a good thing for my lessons.
After doing a little research I found a Macromedia/Adobe
article that explained what was causing this new quirk and how to
work around the problem.
Here is a link to that article:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/activecontent/articles/devletter.html
I thought this might be helpful for any folks encountering
the same problem.
Cheers TPK

Can you change the colour of an 'image' bounding box?

This concerns bounding boxes not 'strokes'.
Is it possible to customise the default colour of a bounding box around an image?
I know that the default 'rectangle image frame' matches the Layer colour (eg: Layer 1 - Light Blue, with an the image bounded by a brown box) which is easily changed by moving it to another layer (eg: Layer 2 - Red, which displays an image bounding box of Cyan). What defines the colour of the bounding box of an image that is placed inside the 'rectangle image frame' and can it be changed?
I have no real necessity to change it, I just wondered if it was possible?
Steve

I'm not sure you understand the terminology.
The bounding box is an imaginary rectangle that encloses the shape of an object or group of objects. For a simple graphics frame this is the same size and shape as the frame and is poisitioned on the frame edge (and it's what you see when you select the frame). The bounding box is used for calculating object positioning. When dispalyed, it takes on the color assigned to the layer.
The frame edge is also fictitious. It's a screen display aid that can be tuned on or off to help you locate objects and also uses the color assigned to the layer. It corresponds to the path that describes the edge of the frame, so might not be rectangular (a bounding box is always rectangular).
The stroke is an attribute assigned to the path describing the perimeter of a closed object or the path itself of an open path. Stokes can be assigned a weight, color, and stroke style such as dotted or striped.
An image placed inside a frame has it's own bounding box, but not a frame edge or stroke. To see the image bounding box use the direct select tool to select the image inside the frame. If you crop an image so it is larger than the containing frame, or or enlarge the frame so the image does not completely fill it, you can see the differnce between the bounding boxes very easily. The color of the image bounding box is also tied to the layer color and is not editable by the user.

Blue bounding box - Can't Remove

www.cfhda.com/menu.html
In Firefox and Navigfator, but "not Safari or Explore," there
is a blue bounding box around a link (pricing) at the bottom.
It shows up in the DW doc, but I can't get rid of it. The
link is a png in a table cell but there are no border or background
colors selected or on the png.
The page property is set to black, but I can't see that that
would make a difference.

The link-ness of the image causes it to have that boxed
appearance. The
explicit border attribute overrides it.

Bounding box on graphic

Hi you'all.
Anyone know how to place a bounding box around a graphic?
Thanks.
Richard

If you can't see it, it means that you're trying it on the background layer in which case, double click on it in the Layers panel(not on the thumbnail or the name) and click OK to turn it into a normal layer and try again

Where is the Bounding Box?

When I select items they do not have a bounding box around them, so it is a pain to resize them.

CMD+SHIFT+B brought it back... wonder why it went away in the first place.

Remove Bounding Box (Photoshop CS6)

Hey
since Photoshop CS5 (Mac), there is always shown a grey bounding box around the content of the selected layer, when I move it. For CS5 there exists a plugin, that removes this terrible box, but it doesn't work anymore with CS6.
Can anyone help me to get rid of this awful "feature"?
Thanks a lot
Philip
Example:

I don't know if this is a more recent addition to CS6, but at least now there's another way to get rid of that bounding box. Select the move tool, and there should be a check box to "show transform controls", which ought to do the trick.
The original post was about a different kind of "bounding box" that was showing up as a lazy non-tracking grey annoyance as you dragged layers around in the first iteration of PSCS6. Adobe provided a plugin to deal with it (mentioned above) and that worked. The latest version (13.0.4) doesn't seem to have this bug anymore and the plugin appears to be no longer neccessary.
The Transform Control "bounding box/handles" element has been around for quite some time. Two different things. However, your post prompted me to check the plugin fix. I removed it and discovering it was no longer needed. Leaving in place does no harm either.

Faint Bounding Box Outline Appearing in Exported WMF

Hello,
I've created a vector image and exported the image to WMF format. But I've noticed on a few parts of the image, there's a faint bounding box. See the example below around one of the eyebrows. The only thing I can think of is after I created the right eyebrow, I selected Object>Transform>Reflect and clicked the Copy option to create the left eyebrow which now has the faint bounding box around it. Any help would be great! Thank you in advance.

You could try and open the WMF in Illustrator. Then compare the outline views and then try to find out what has happened.
Since nobody knows how exactly that image has been built, it will be diffiecult to even guess what has happend.
Do you work on a Mac or Windows system? Mac would cause trouble with WMF since it's a meta format that relies on system code (Windows system that is) to generate and read files.
If you're working on Windows you could try EMF. It's a more advanced format

AE CC 2014.1 - layer selection and bounding box issue.

Upgraded to AE CC 2014.1 yesterday and now the Bounding Box around layers does not appear when hovering the mouse down the layers in the timeline.
When dealing with many overlapping layers, a quick way of finding elements was to hover the mouse down the layers in the timeline which then showed a bounding box around that layer in the composition window.
Am I missing something? Has this been omitted... or is there a preference I can't see... or is this a bug?

Hi Tom,
I will say only this, and then nothing further on this thread, on the discussion of the new user interface design in After Effects CC 2014.1. (I dislike thread hijacking.)
We are looking at all of the feedback being provided. We want to you to voice your opinion. Please be specific as to what problems you are having with the new user interface design.
I also want to note here that the blue color alone is not what is generating feedback. "Blue" is being used as a collective term for the changes, but I fear that such generalization is creating a false impression that simply changing the color will resolve the complaints. There have been many, many small changes of which the highlight color is only one. We need to hear specifically from you which of the changes you dislike, whether it's the blue color specifically, or the brightness/contrast of the blue, or the brightness or design of other parts of the user interface, and in which contexts it causes a problem.
So please let us know what you think, here on the forums in a new thread or one of the existing threads, or send us your feedback privately: adobe.ly/feature_request
You haven't seen many replies from us on the other threads because we want to receive your honest feedback. The new user interface design has been available to you for all of one week as of today, and now is the time for us to listen to you.

Bounding Box locks up after editing objects

I am using Edge Animate CC (2014) on a Mac.
After using Edge Animate for a few minutes (making simple edits to objects), the bounding box around the object selected, and the border around the stage box freeze in place. I am able to move the objects around, but the bounding box that froze initially remains selected, and stationary (no matter which object I have selected in the time editor).
If I continue to use After Effects, ignoring the bounding box problem, the program eventually freezes and shuts down. I have not been able to find/been given an error code yet. After the program has closed, I can reopen it and it performs perfectly for a little, and then malfunctions in the same way.
So far I have tried:
- Uninstalling and reinstalling (keeping program preferences on uninstall)
- Uninstalling and reinstalling (deleting program preferences on uninstall)
- Renaming folder in "~/Library/Preferences/Adobe/Edge Animate" folder to "Edge Animate Old" allowing Edge Animate to create new "Edge Animate" folder containing file named 5.0.1 instead of 5.0.0 (I did this under instructions from Adobe phone support. It did not solve the problem).
Let me know if you have any solutions or if I can clarify anything in greater detail. Thanks!
Below is an annotated screenshot of the bounding box for a light grey rectangle, and the stage border rectangle (the stage is dark grey), after I have both moved the grey rectangle and the view of the stage.

well three times in the last month the system has upgraded and enough is enough have cancelled tonight goodbye and good luck with crap service and even worse customer service

How to remove yellow bounding box?

As I understand,
stage.stageFocusRect = false;
will remove the yellow bounding box around buttons in my Flash app.
However, it is throwing an error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
Is there a dependency I need to import first?
Also, it is essential that I retain the ability to have key press event handlers (which is why the yellow bounding box is showing up). So will stage.stageFocusRect remove the ability to use key press commands?
If so, is there any way to retain keypress commands and remove the yellow bounding box?
thanks

you just need to wait until your display object is added to the display list before trying to reference its stage property. ie, use the addedtostage event:
this.addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE,init);
private function init(e:Event):void{
stage.stageFocusRect=false;
and your stage will still be responsive to events as usual.
