Thought this might be worth adding to the discussion..? Sorry if this is this a dumb question. I tried this but what happens is that as soon as you switch off the document all the fancy gradients also disappears. There has to be another way to create a standard document as you did before with Illustrator to enable these gradients to appear in every document you create. Any tips on this are welcome. Inka: Save the document with the gradient.
Then close all documents. Now choose Load Swatches from the swatches panel menu and choose the document you chose. Hi, I am trying this in CS4 on Windoze and this is not what happens. It seems to paste the vector object with a gradient into InDesign as a bitmap. I see you wrote this article in Does it still work like that for you? Thank you! I have the preferences set up correctly, but the gradient is not added when I paste it from Illustrator :.
Six years later, this was super helpful! Thank you Jodi! It did NOT import the gradient to the swatch panel either. I also tried the ase file, and it does not save gradients! Please log in again.

When you create a gradient using colors of different modes and then print or color separate the gradient, all colors are converted to CMYK process colors. Because of the color mode change, colors may shift.
For best results, specify gradients using CMYK colors. You can create, name, and edit gradients using the same Swatches panel you use to work with solid colors and tints. You can also create unnamed gradients using the Gradient panel. To mix a new unnamed color for the gradient, choose a color mode, and enter color values or drag the sliders. Tip : By default, the first stop of the gradient is set to white. To make it transparent, apply the Paper swatch. Select a color stop under the bar, and enter a Location value to set the position of that color.
This position represents the percentage of distance between the previous color and the next color. Select the diamond icon above the bar, and enter a Location value to set the position of that color. You can add the current gradient to the Swatches panel at any time. Gradient fill B. Gradient type menu C. Reverse button D. Starting color stop E. Midpoint F. Ending color stop. If you select an object that currently uses a named gradient, editing the gradient by using the Gradient panel will change the color of that object only.
To edit every instance of a named gradient, double-click its swatch in the Swatches panel. You can modify gradients by adding colors to create multicolor gradients, and by adjusting color stops and midpoints. See Pasting Illustrator graphics into InDesign.
To select the gradient, use the Direct Selection tool. If you edit a color swatch, any gradient stops that use that swatch will update accordingly, changing the gradient. But I did attempt to bring over some different gradients, and one in particular, Apple from the Fruits and Vegetables collection came in white. It appeared to be a bug. The swatch was there in the ID Swatches panel, but it was also white. Opening up the swatch, there appeared to be one color at the final stop of the gradient, that, when removed, seemed to restore things.
