Illustrator Files get Distorted when Distilled into PDFs

I haven't been able to find anything like this in the discussions so I will start one. The production folks are using CS3 on Leopard Macs. I am using Tiger and can still reproduce the problem, so I don't think it is the OS.
Here's what happens:
Certain .ai files placed in InDesign become distorted when the user makes a PDF either by using Acrobat Distiller or through our DALiM TWiST server. The distortion does not happen if they export to PDF, but they cannot do that since they must use the TWiST system to preflight their files and create the PDFs. The problem is likely related to the postscript stage of both of these methods of making PDFs. It does not happen to all .ai files that we use. Just some of them. It seems to be random, but with newer (CS3-created) Illustrator files as opposed to CS2 or earlier files. The current workaround is to just save the files as Illustrator eps and then they have no problem, but we are trying to get away from always using eps files.
Has anyone ever had anything like this happen?
Thanks,
Laura K.

Wow, you guys are great. Very helpful. The users who have reported this issue have already discovered the workaround of embedding the problem files. That does work. Their problem is that they don't know ahead of time which .ai files will do this. I suppose they could just embed all .ai files as they use them, but one user reports that the embedded files don't "stay" embedded. They use a droplet that was created for them where they just drop a job to be printed onto it and it will go through the TWiST workflow. It is a highly customized workflow, and we plan to have the engineer come back in and do some tweaking eventually. I think there is something in the droplet that can be altered so embedded .ai files will stay embedded. I suspect that is probably easy if you know what you are doing. :-)
But, meanwhile I was just wondering if there was maybe something we could do at the .ai file creation end to prevent the distortion from happening int he first place. The bad part is that it does not happen to all .ai files in our library, just a few of them. The same user reported a couple of years ago when we switched to InDesign that she had problems with .pdf files placed into InDesign printing properly and I think this is related to that.
Here are a couple of screenshots to illustrate what happens as far as the distortion. I have used one of our company's logo files that has been exhibiting the behavior as the example. The first screenshot (InDesignLogos) just shows the logo placed in an InDesign file as it should look. The bottom one has been embedded. The second screenshot (PDFLogos) shows the resulting PDF that was created using DALiM TWiST. Keep in mind that we also get the same result if we make a PDF using Acrobat Distiller. This is why I think it is something happening in the postscript file. I wish we could just export the PDF from InDesign because that takes care of the problem, but it is not an option with the TWiST workflow. The Illustrator file says it was created on Oct 26, 2009, saved as v.13 Created by v.13.02, if that helps.
Thanks for all of your help and good suggestions so far!

  • Chart Features get Distorted when converting a Powerpoint to PDF

    When converting a powerpoint file to PDF using Adobe createPDF online, chart titles and axis that were properly formatted in powerpoint get distorted when the file is converted to pdf.  Specifically, the chart titles get moved over / cut off and scales on the axis disappear. The charts, however, are pictures, and were not created in a microsoft program.  Any idea why this is happening or how to fix it?
    Thanks

    That an image of a chart was exported is indicative of the "chart" object in the PDF being an image.
    And, that is consistent with what must times, for most PPT "chart" input is -- graphic objects -- which, when sent out to PDF don't change from that (how would they eh?).
    Result - an image / graphic object in the PDF.
    To get the 'dynamic' chart that updates in Powerpoint when the data for the chart is changed you'd re-master in an appropriate application and OLE it into the Powerpoint file.
    But that's the good stuff of Microsoft and discussed over in MS web space.
    Be well...

  • Will the app specific files get deleted when i remove/uninstall an app from iPad

    I mean those files added to an app using iTunes. For example, pdf files added to a reader.
    Do these files get deleted when i delete an app from iPad?

    I've learnt that this data do get deleted along with the app during deletion/uninstallation. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

    Yes.  They don't make any sense to me either.  Are we supposed to be looking at a blank dark gray rectangle, or has the upload process failed the OP ?

    Hi,
         I am generating a PDF file from a BSP page ( see the code below). The problem is that PDF file gets corrupted and  I am unable to open it. I also tried to use other functions like GUI_Download and DOwnload as suggested by many and they also do not work either. Has any one generated a PDF from BSP and can some one help?

  • Adobe illustrator window gets minimized when saving custom file type.

    I had created a new file type . When I try to save a document in the newly created file type the Adobe illustrator window gets minimized (restored).

    I tried ringing Adobe and after creating a new user account on my system and logging into that, I was then able to use illustrator. This is okay but not ideal as I don't want to have to switch between accounts each time I want to access my files. Any ideas on how to solve this? I have tried uninstalling and deleting preference files again but still the same problem...?

  • Pdf file gets huge when attached to an e-mail

    A very strange problem. Yesterday, I received an e-mail with a pdf attachment that was 10MB.  When I saved the attachement to a fold, it became 9.6kb.  I created a new e-mail and attched the smaller saved version of the pdf.  It showed as 10MB in the e-mail.  The same thing happened to another e-mail pdf attachment that I received this morning.  I even inserted an older pdf file from my computer into a new e-mail.  Same thing.  This is making it very difficult to send e-mails with pdf attachment, as they are too large for some to receive.  the sender of the original e-mail is also seeing it in the sent e-mail as 10 MB.
    I have windows XP Professional Version 2002 SP 3;  Acrobat reader 9.3

    First of all: what e-mail client are you using?
    Do you use Adobe Reader to send the PDF file, or you simply attach the PDF to a message you are composing?  That message, what format is it - plain text, HTML, RTF?
    Anyway, I have a very hard time to understand how a file of 9.6KB can show up more than a 1000 times larger (10MB) as a PDF attachment!  Does your e-mail client give the exact size of the attachment, additionally to the total size of the message?

  • I just installed snow leopard, now every file I try to download turns into a .ashx file...when they are pdf's and jpeg's

    I was able to download any regular old document yesterday, normally - pdfs, jpegs, tiffs.... Now, when I try to download any file type, it saves as a .ashx....I just installed Snow Leopard yesterday and it's been doing it since then. It also does not even recognize the file name....just calls it "attachment(1,2,3,etc)"

    So here is what else I've learned. First of all, the process of saving opened pdf documents used to work fine with Firefox. This new glitch did not occur before I down-loaded acrobat 10.1.6.
    I went back and repeated the process of opening a pdf document from LexisNexis File & ServeXpress. When I clicked File > save as, I realized that it was prompting me to save as a text file. I had not noticed that before, and that must be why the saved document would not open, and I would receive a corrupted file message. (Again, this prompt did not exist in the previous version of acrobat).
    The problem appears to be solved for me if I change the File > save as prompt to "All files." Saving it in that manner allowed me to successfully open the saved pdf document.
    The other work-around is as follows. When the pdf document is opened in acrobat, there is an icon / button in the upper right corner of the opened document window that says "open with different viewer." If I click that, it lets me open in a previous version of acrobat, where the described problem does not occur.

  • How to save an illustrator file that contains gradients as a pdf print file without the gradients streaking on the print

    When I create files in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and Indesign if the design includes gradients and I save or export it as a pdf for print, whenever I have the file printed the gradients often come out with lines and streaks in the print. I usually work around this by copying the gradient to a file of its own, save it as a jpeg, and then insert the jpeg back into the original file before saving it as a pdf. This can be a big hassle and I was wondering if there's a setting in illustrator, photoshop, and Indesign in order to avoid the hassle.

    You would have to check your color management and things like overprint settings or the ink levels of the color components. Streaking is usually a sign of areas getting oversaturated and the automatic adjustments in the printer driver being unable to compensate. and then of course other factors may figure in like banding inherent in using gradients across large areas, out of gamut issues for certain colors and what have you. You'd have to be much more specific about all of that for anyone to even begin to advise specifically...

  • Audio of .mp4 movie files getting distorted by 1 hour mark.

    I converted some of my fave movies from DVD to .mp4 file format that my iPod supports. After I did so, I copied several flicks in .mp4 format to my iPod. Each of those movies is at least 2 hours in length. But the problem with iPods playing .mp4 vids is after 1 hour mark of the video, the audio gets distorted up the rest of the movie. My friend with iPod vid also experienced the same problem. We found out that if the movie is in .m4v format, the audio of the same movie length is smooth and clear. This make me think that iPod videos has bugs playing .mp4 video format that has more than an hour in length. Ironically, when I play .mp4 format in Quick time and iTunes (in my PC), the audio is smooth. Does anyone have an idea about that? I appreciate for the answer. Really. Thanks!
    AMD Athlon 1.4 GHz; 512 MB RAM   Windows XP Pro   My USB is not 2.0

    I think  is the contrary because the clip browser copies all the foleders needed. I got this opinion from another forum that copies into Final Cut:
    "My workflow is to create a hard drive folder for the project, then use Clip Browser to import the clips from the card. I review the clips, labelling them, adding logging notes, setting the status and putting in essence marks as needed (the number of characters available for the essence mark description is fairly limited). I then open FCP, create and save a new project then call up XDCAM Transfer. I select the project folder and it will pull in all the clips. I then filter for OK status, occasionally create subclips then import. The clips come over to the bin, with their names and with the essence marks converted to markers. Obviously there are backups taken - I've not mentioned them."

  • Can't import this illustrator file?  distorts

    Trying to import this file into flash as I need to zoom in
    and out of the image but when I import it, it just distorts the
    elements for some reason. am I doing something wrong? I've tried
    exporting it for illustrator as a swf or an ai file but still no
    joy?
    http://www.viva360.com/paper_bags.ai
    thanks in advance to anyone that has any ideas.

    Illustrator and Flash are mostly not compatible. You will
    almost always have problems when importing Illustrator files into
    Flash. The only thing you can try is to save your Illustrator file
    to an older format (Illustrator 8 or older; 5 is preferable). You
    may lose some effects. But so what? You will lose them in Flash
    anyway.
    I gave up on importing AI into Flash years ago. The real best
    solution is to make your original graphics directly in Flash or in
    a more Flash-compatible program like Freehand.

  • Content of illustrator file is different when opening in and old cs version.

    Hi all!
    I have a very awful and urgent problem in my job right now, i design some advertisings that goes regularly from month to month, so some advertisings are just like the last month used but with some data changed.
    My problem:
    I have an illustrator file (.ai) saved and created in CS3 with pdf compability, outlines, and files linked and included on the same cd,
    but when opening the same .ai file in another machine but with CS2 (the client's PC).. it shows a very old version of the file with ALL linked files embebbed (and those are different that are on the cd!!)., in the CS3 file i saved and recorded on cd i replaced all things of course and re-save it. I don't know what is wrong, but when i open it in another machine (i.e. a Mac) it shows the correct version of advertising. But not with  the client's machine...
    In my illustrator file, there is only text outlines and 2 psd. Each PSD have only 1 layer, 'cause they were flattened (thet are actually letters scanned).
    So basically: My .ai file, created in CS3 in a Mac,  seems totally different and embebbed when opening in CS2 in a PC.
    I hope someone can help me with this urgent matter Thanks a lot everyone!!

    In regards to the illustrator file link not matching, there is nothing wrong with the .ai file., your problem is with the filenames on the linked images. Your linked images have the SAME EXACT FILENAME AS THE OLD ones connected to the clients machine. You need to break the link to the old bad files and re-establish them to your good files.
    Use links palete Flyout menu >> link information to find the location of the images. Change the name of an enclosing folder, or some other method to break the link to old images. Relink to new images, by placing them next to the .ai file in the same folder, and  open the .ai file.

    Hi,
    I have faced a similar issue, Finally i created a different template for each output type, and tweaked each template through trial and error till the output it provided was what i was looking for in the specified output format, I had a different template for PDF and a different one for HTML. If I used the html optimised template for PDF out, there were all sorts of alignment issues, etc.and vice versa. As for the date format, you can set the parmeter correctly using the word date format properties.
