The following code: \startMPpage[instance=doublefun] draw (0,0)--(100,0) dashed withdots; \stopMPpage When run through LuaMetaTeX produces a PDF about which Acrobat complains: The dimensions of this page are out-of-range. Page content might be truncated. and Adobe InDesign cannot handle it at all (displays empty). The error message stays with \startMPpage[instance=doublefun] draw (0,0)--(100,0)—(100,2) dashed withdots; \stopMPpage but disappears with \startMPpage[instance=doublefun] draw (0,0)--(100,0)—(100,3) dashed withdots; \stopMPpage Additionally, on the Adobe forums I have been told: Also, the color space is device gray (not RGB or CMYK) which might be a more generic problem with LMTX output, I don’t know. It might also be an Adobe problem. Previw.app on macOS handles the result without problems.
