Unexplained white edge on eps when placing into Illustrator (CS6)

I'm manually stepping CS3 or CS6 generated eps files inside a master Illustrator file. The EPS looks perfect when I make it, i.e. no white edge. Also when I close and reopen the EPS then view it- no white edge. As soon as I drag or file/place the eps file into an Illustrator file, the white edge appears. This happens in CS3 or CS6. This white edge actually prints "as is". Can't get rid of it. See screen shot.

Good morning Will,
I tried placing ai files into my master imposition files this morning and all went very well. Thank you again enlightening me on importing files.
There is one file that I'm still having problems with, even using the ai import. This is the file that generated my eps white edge issue.
When I bring the masked ai file into the imposition file I get about a 1/8" white area on the left and right sides. And I noticed the file width changed from 8.75" to 8.8+. So somewhere during the placing of the file a .25" edge is being aded to my incoming ai file. I've checked my preferences and such and do not see where I could be adding white to the sides of my placed file. My masked file seems to be exact at 8.75".
Also, I tried importing other masked ai files and all did well--- no white edges. I then created a new imposition file and the white lines appeared again on the masked ai file when I placed it.
Now I think there's a problem with the original art file itself. If you could offer any help, I'd greatly appreciate it as it would help me in the future if (when) this issues arises again.
I've attached my impo file, the original art file and the masked ai file I used for placing.

Cut out a photo in Photoshop, and when placing into Illustrator and InDesign it changes it.

We have photos that another employee cut out in photoshop, saved as a TIFF and tried to place into Illustrator. When he went to place it, the photo looks like it created a clipping mask but the image is flat.
this is what the tiff looks like in preview and photoshop.
and this is how it shows up when placed in Illustrator. It does the same thing in indesign.
I also tried saving it as a pdf and opening it in Acrobat, and it turns into the butterfly there as well. Does anyone have any clue as to what the problem would be?

Solution found:
The problem originated in photoshop. In the Paths panel, somehow a path of the butterfly was created(still haven't figured out how) and we deleted the path and the problem was fixed.

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

Why do I get jumbled text when pasting a graph from Excel (mac 2011) into Illustrator cs6

The Goal: To copy a graph from Excel (mac 2011) and paste it into Illustrator cs6 as a vector graphic.
The graph's vector and layout is okay. Yet, the text / copy is jumbled text:
$%"
$#!!!!"
Do I have to change a preference in either Excel or Illustrator?
Thank you!

In Excel, right click and choose Format Chart Area. In the dialog at the left, choose Fonts. Change the font to Arial or something other than Calibri (Theme Body). Then copy/paste.

I cannot save after I place a small jpeg into illustrator CS6.

I cannot save after I place a small jpeg into illustrator CS6.

hey Jacob-
So I've tried creating a new document and pasting all of the artwork in that document. Nothing changed.
I checked all of the jpeg's I'm working with, resized some or made smaller etc. At this point I'm seeing no issues with the jpegs
and the illustrator file I'm working with....no stray points, did a clean up.
It's the action of saving the informatin to the file. The spinning beach ball appears....forever. Weird, because I just had a job where I was
doing the exact same action and had no issues.
I also re-down loaded all of the jpegs. I'm recieving these from a dropbox folder, copied to my dropbox folder. I use dropbox to receive
files daily so I don't think that's the problem but maybe there is a problem in the transfer???
I have a call into Adobe at this point. Tomorrow I will recieve a call from their tech support.
Thank you for your help thus far and if you have any other suggestions I'm open to them.

PDF white lines when placing in Illustrator

I have some PDF graphics created using MapInfo software.
When I attempt to place the PDF map as a layer in Illustrator, the map appears with numerous white lines as though each polygon area of the original map has been broken up into individual squares.
Is there some setting in Distiller to overcome this problem?
Should I be creating an EPS map file and then using that as a layer in Illustrator?

How was the PDF created? Printed, Exported? Some other method?
If nothing else helps, you could do the following: it looks like the problems are only in drop shadows and text. You could delete both from the Power Point file, export, save or print the PDF. Then import into Illustrator and recreate shadows and text there.
I don't think you could transfer the complete graohic from PP to Illy as vector anyway. So rather get away with as much as you can and then complete it.

Images not centred when placed into InDesign CC 2014

Hello,
Since updating to InDesign CC every time I place a new image into a doc it drops down within the containing box a by a few mm. Auto fit is not on and the problem happens when placing an image via cmd + d or dragging and dropping from bridge or finder. Any ideas?

Thank you for your reply. I ditched the InDesign Defaults pref but couldn't find the InDesign SavedData file. I have uninstalled and put a fresh copy back on to my mac, this seems to have resolved the problem. I guess this was a pref file some where, I just could locate it.
Thanks for your help.

Illustrator vector images loses layers when placed into InDesign

I have a illustrator image that I want to paste into InDesign - I have tried pasting and placing however it appears both ways do not paste all the image elements. See below - any ideas?
Selected all and copied in Illustrator:
Then, pasted (and placed) into InDesign - missing neck, shirt

Pasting Illy artwork is for very simple drawings. Complex shapes and objects may not coming into ID exactly the way you want.
Why aren’t you placing the graphic?

Why does PDF substitute characters when placed in Illustrator CS4?

When trying to place a PDF (x1a) Table into my illustrator file, it substitutes different characters. My hyphens and Quotation marks become latin and cyrillic substitutes. Even when I've outlined all fonts within the table before exporting to PDF x1a. When I open the PDF in Acrobat Pro or Photoshop it shows correctly. Only Illustrator shows it incorrectly. When I direct select the elements within the PDF in illustrator, it selects the outlines of the incorrect character. ???
My solution was to export from Indesign as an eps and it places just fine. I originally wanted to copy and paste the table (either outlined or not) from Indesign into Illustrator, as I'm sure usually totally works, but time and time again it wouldnt work. That was why I was going the place PDF route.
If anyone has come across this before, I'd love to know how/why this is happening, and how to fix... Thanks in advance.

MMM, good ideas thank you!
When I open in Acrobat its fine. When I open as PDF in Illustrator its
corrupt.
When I place in a new ai file, as a link, its fine. When I place in new
file, embedded, its corrupt.
However, when I open as a PDF in Illustrator or place it as an embedded PDF
into Illustrator, it includes all the layers, I can select the separate
corrupt layers and delete them. So it turns out I can get rid of them with
this process.
It seems perhaps its an indesign thing, and a Indesign Tables thing. When I
outline the Table and its contents, it creates another layer of outlined
text on top of the live text. If I try and delete the non-outlined text, it
deletes the Table lines?? So if I leave it as is, I believe its the live
text underneath that is substituting for some reason?

Help!! White line around image with placed in Illustrator from Photoshop, possible CMYK issue?

I have a CMYK file, outlined product, that looks perfect in Photoshop. When I place the image into Illustrator, it shows up with a thin white line around parts of the product (fyi - it shows up on a print as well). I have tried to place an RGB file and it does not have the white line around the product. I assume it has something to do with it being CMYK, but I'm at a loss on how to fix this. I'm desperate for any help.

Okay, please refer this image and change the option within Ai General preferences. Uncheck the option Anti-Aliased artwork.

Illustrator CS3: perfectly fine pdf gets destroyed when placing in Illustrator

Hi!

This is how the diagram looks in pdf. Perfectly scalable.
This is how it looks after beeing imported in Illustrator.
Everything else that was imported form the pdf looks fine. Only this diagramm gets destroyed!
Why does this happen?

How was the PDF created? Printed, Exported? Some other method?

Colors in PNG image go crazy when imported into Illustrator

When I import certain PNGs into Illustrator CC, they look like this...
I've tried reinstalling the program and changing the document from CMYK to RGB. Not sure what else to try.

Any warnings about the color profile when importing the image?
What happens when you open it in Photoshop and then resave it as a TIF or PSD before importing in Illustrator?

Error 5 when starting up Illustrator cs6

Hi, after many install/uninstall on different PCs (I'm testing a silent install procedure for a future deployment), i always get a "5" error code when launching Illustrator cs6.

Lemmy.K I would recommend that you review your installation logs. It should help point you to the cause of the install failure. You can find details on how to accomplish this at Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html.

Error when installing Adobe Illustrator CS6 (64bit)

Hello everybody,
I've been trying to install all packages inside Creative Suite 6 Design Standard CD but the installation fails, then decided to install one by one and noticed the error comes only when installing Illustrator CS6 (64bit).
My PC is runing windows 7 64bit and the error it appears says: win32 cabinet self-extractor stopped working.
Could anybody give me a hand with this issue, I already look on the web but couldn't find something that really helps me.
