Missing images when saving an illustrator file in pdf format

It just happens with some of my files. Somehow, there are layouts that have the images properly linked, are seen on screen as they have to and so on but when I save them as pdf or try to print them suddenly some of the pictures are missing.
Does anybody have the same problem? I've tried to solve it saving the document as different formats but the problem persists.
Thanks a lot!

I guess he has Windows but tried to open the file from his ipad too.

  • Images Issue when saving an illustrator file as pdf

    Hi,
    I have been suffering these couple of days with the pdfs I save from my illustrator CS5 multi page file. It is a brochure that I designed using many images that I adjusted in Photoshop to CMYK & 300 dpi & embedded in ai. I used some drop shadows for some images & have some transparent vectors & gradient fills in the pages.
    The pdfs I save open very normally on my pc, but the issues appear for the client. He gets some images missing in some pages (the ones that got the gradient transparency). The pages also tend not to load completely & stay blurred. He also got the “drawing error” message.
    I tried to make sure all color modes are the same_ used the US web coated SWOP (default)
    He still gets missing images!
    The same file I sent to a friend of mine, it opened normally! but informed me that Adobe considers the file with “special features”.
    I had to export the pages to jepgs so that he gets to see the design.
    I tried to flatten the gradient transparent vectors but also used the downsampling for the images when saving the pdf & used the “Zip” for compression to reduce the size… what did he get??? no images at all in all the pages.
    I started seeing pdf nighmares last night :S really.
    Please help :’(
    Thanks

  • Trouble in the colour of line when saving a AI file into PDF format

    I am using ai CS5. When i save it the colours of line get changed to some other colour.

    OK…
    How about some information? What colour is the line to begin with? What colou is it changing to? What foramt are you saving the file to? How are you determining the colour of the line after saving? What is the Document Color Mode (File menu) Of the Illustrator file to begin with? If saving as a PDF what preset are you using?

  • When saving my illustrator file to a pdf it doesnt show all the artwork ie boxes are hidden in the pdf or only showing part of them. How can I fix this?

    when saving my illustrator file to a pdf it doesnt show all the artwork ie boxes are hidden in the pdf or only showing part of them. Even some text is hidden. I have flattened the artwork so everything is in one layer. How can I fix this?

    Hi John
    I have indicated on the attached jpeg where the problem is, basically a line of text is missing at the top and part of the feeding diagram is missing. I created the artwork in different layer and then flattened. All text has been converted to outlines, however the areas being affected have no transparency, I have used solid fills or no fills. I get the same result when I export the file as a jpeg. Hope you can help.

  • Why does saving an Illustrator file as PDF cause the image to be reduced on the PDF document?

    When I save a CS5 drawing as a PDF, the drawing is reduced in size on the resulting PDF page. This was not happening a few days ago, and I do not recall changing any settings. In fact, I have been unable to find any setting that affects this problem. Document set up and Page Set Up both show the CS5 page to 8.5x11, but the file properties in Adobe Reader show the PDF page to be 9x11.5 -  which seems to cause the art to be reduced from its size on the CS5 page.
    Can anyone help?

    You should be able to simply select and delete them, if you can't, they might be on a locked layer, or grouped with other locked objects. You can also create trim marks in the save-as PDF process. If you have already saved your .ai file as a PDF with trim marks, you will need to re-save it as an .ai file in order to save it as an 8.5 x 11 PDF without bleed or crop marks. I should mention it's sometimes problematic to edit a PDF in Illustrator, for that reason I suggest you keep your file in .ai fomat as long as possible. Also, there are times when you do want to have bleed in your file.

  • When saving an Illustrator file on mac, it deletes the file Tags. Why or how to solve it?

    I save an Illustrator file on mac, and when doing so, I create a Tag for it.
    Whenever I make some changes and save the file again, the tag (or tags) disappear. Why?
    Thank you very much,

  • CPU reach 100% when saving a large report in pdf format

    We have some reports that are fairly large. When we schedule them to save in pdf format, the job server takes all the CPU resources, and makes other servers slow. Is there a way to limit how much CPU the job server can take?

    Just give
    destype=mail desformat=pdf desname=emailid
    in cmd line
    Which reports version are you using ?
    In 9i you have to specify outgoing mail server in
    $OH\report\conf\server_name.conf
    in this xml element (uncomment it)
    <pluginParam name="mailServer">%MAILSERVER_NAME%</pluginParam>
    For more details refer

  • Blurry Images When Saved In Illustrator CC

    Hi,
    I've been trying to figure this out for weeks, but can't figure it out. I'm trying to create a new logo and now that I've created it, I try to save it and once saved, It looks very blurry/fuzzy. But in illustrator it looks excellent! It's just in the saved copy that looks horrible. I'm new to using Illustrator, and still in the process of learning, I know it's probably something simple to my problem however I've read every forum related on the internet and even on here and all the solutions that have helped others don't work for me... I'm just metally drained and don't know to do, Any help to solve this problem would be helpful.
    -Illustrator CC
    -Macbook Pro Retina -late 2013
    If there's anything else that you would like to know please let me know. I've tried every possible format just about for the logo to be saved as. Even in the browser preview mode in save for web, it looks horrible. I'm needing this logo to be saved as jpeg, png, or something relative.
    Thanks in advance!
    -Michael

    It isn't really something that requires a 'fix' as such - sadly the number of people with Retina displays is still quite small and most of the time devices use some clever upsampling jiggery-pokery that makes the graphics look better.
    I have another question for you, now - when you are exporting your image file from Illustrator, are you changing the anti-aliasing settings to Art Optimised? If this is all news to you, are you using the Export for Microsoft Office option? Or Save For Web?
    Sorry to have to ask but it helps in helping you.

  • Images not appearing when saving a Framemaker book to pdf

    As a new user to Framemaker, I have had great success with these forums in the past. So, thank you.
    First off, I am using Framemaker 12.
    I have had no problems in the past, but now when I save a file to .pdf it will not produce all the images with it. I saved the same files two weeks ago before reviews began and nothing was missing then. I have not changed anything with the files between then and now besides some textual (i.e. grammar) changes.
    Any suggestions?

    Are you using the CMYK or RGB option? Use the RGB one, if you're not creating press-quality colour output.
    What format are the images in? How were they created (i.e. which application)? Imported by reference or by copy?

  • Is it possible when saving the psd file to have an automatic jpg file saved at the same time?

    My work involves preparing images for printing lightboxes and window installations.  My clients require to pre-approve the photos before printing.
    I usually save my files as psd but since the files are very large in this format I usually save another copy as a jpg file that has a much smaller file size.  This makes it possible for me to add these to a presentation and and send them to my client.
    Is it possible when saving the psd file to have an automatic jpg file saved at the same time?  Or do I still have to do this manually?

    If you save the document manually as a PSD file in Phtoshop not from within an Action, Script, Plugin or Droplette.  You may be able to write a Photoshop that would do as save as Jpeg,  And you should be able trigger its execution by setting up a Script Save event using the Script event manager.  When You do a manual save  the script should be triggered.  I wrote may be able to for I have never tried to write that script or set up a Script Manager Save event.  I have only use open events.

  • Creating booklet: Should image files from illustrator be in PDF format??

    Good morning,
    Over the weekend i got thinking about a image booklet i am looking to create. Despite being a newbie, i feel as though i have made great strides in becoming familiar with both Indesign and Illustrator.
    Having created artwork in Illustrator i am trying to determine the best format for placing my images into Indesign.
    What i have been expecting to do is to convert the Illustrator files into pdf's and then placing these into my Indesign template. This is what i have been doing on my drafts. Seems there is no quality loss, however i am worried about the size of the file since it is predominatley image based.
    I have no need to edit the link once i have finished the artwork in Illustrator IMHO.
    Please bear in mind this is booklet is being sent to a commercial printers and being printed on a litho.
    Could any of the wise sages on these forums guide me?
    Kind Regards,
    Don

    Hi Don
    There really shouldn't be any need to convert your Illustrator files to PDF - the .ai format is (unless you specifically deselect the option on save) a PDF compatible file.

  • When placing a Illustrator file in Indesign, the Illustrator file sometime changes from 100%.

    When placing a Illustrator file in Indesign, the Illustrator file sometime changes from 100%. When you select the placed file with the selection tool, it says 100%, but if you select with the direction tool, file has been changed any where from 98 to 102 %, not staying at the 100%? why is this and how can you asure the size does not change when placed or when updating the illustrator link?

    Probably you have inserted files in a frame whose content was previously adequate with "Fit Content Proportionally" or "Fill Frame Proportionally".
    The new content in the same frame will have the same characteristics as the previous one

  • Feh showing black images when opening certain .bmp files

    Hi all,
    I've been using feh (I'm using imagemagick too) from quite a bit and today I noticed it shows plain black images when opening certain .bmp files, those files are obtained from a Java WebService and they may not be correcty formed, still firefox can correctly visualize them. Would it be possible to make feh correctly display them ?

    I've set Photoshop to ask me if there's a conflict with embedded color schemes but it doesn't ask when opening this file. So I presume it doesn't use any specific profile. (Can I check this directly somehow?)
    EDIT: I've now set to ask if there is no profile embedded and Photoshop now says that the image has no embedded RGB profile.
    My color profile within Photoshop is set to sRGB which is the default for my display.
    When I try switching to other RGB profiles in the list, the colors change but the distortions are still there no matter which profile I choose.
