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.
