Alright, first the essentials: I'm using CC for all my software and I'm on OSX (10.7.5).
I am doing some vector outlines of photos that already exist. Many of these photos have clipping paths on them which, when I open them in illustrator, seem to show up as paths. Awesome! I can just drop a stroke on there and save myself a bunch of time.
That works fine in illustrator, but if I then if I try to copy/paste the outlines into InDesign, I get an error that says "Illustrator import failed. Scrap contains no visible objects."
Creating the outlines brand new with the pen tool works fine and copies over as usual, but if I can save myself a few hours and use the existing paths, that would sure be helpful. Hopefully this is just a setting somewhere or something that I'm missing. Any ideas?
