I found out this in the PDF spec: The minimum page size should be 3 by 3 units in default user space; the maximum should be 14,400 by 14,400 units. Apparently, Adobe InDesign demands that in a hard way. G

\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.

So, does the following work: \startMPpage[instance=doublefun, offset=2pt] draw (0,0)--(100,0) dashed withdots; \stopMPpage Aditya
