I tried cropping a vector image in Adobe Illustrator by following this link:
How can I crop everything outside of an art board in Illustrator?
I was able to do it once.
I repeated the steps and it just won't crop.
I found out the 'secret' steps.
Follow the same steps in the link up to: Object > Clipping Mask > Make.
Double click on the object. Double click again on the object. Double click again on the object. It will turn into a white rectangle. Press Delete. The subject graphic shows up slightly faded. Double click on this. It becomes unfaded. Select a bounding box around it and copy.
In Adobe InDesign, create a rectangle frame. Paste Into. Fit frame to contents.
Repeated again and it doesn't work anymore. There is a lot of white space around the graphic. I've tried a dozen times.
Anybody had this problem and is able to solve it?
