Help please - converting to PDF

Question

Hi all,
I'm having a few problems with some of the text in a document I'm working on. The problem is that some of my text is being rasterised, whilst some is remaining as text, when I am saving my document as a pdf.
I cannot figure out why this is occuring, as it seems to be happening to random segments of text. Obviously the quality of the text is poor when rasterising with compression, and I would like all the text to be actual text!
Does anybody have any suggestions as to why this is happening, and what I can do to prevent it..
Thanks in advance for any help!

Answer 1

It appears Jason' problem is line 7 (carriage returns ignored, WTF) in a PS text box has a white knockout mask behind the type, causing a "rasterized" look. I don't have Pitstop, but with Acrobat, it appears that the mask might even be misaligned. Who knows how it will print. But the type IS staying vector. I know most folks wouldn't typeset this many lines in PS, but I can't find any references to this as a known "issue". Anyone seen it???

<br />On my Mac, it's the whole line (when I build a test file). On his (PC) file, it appears to be just the first character.
