Illustrator CS6 Saving to PDF Gradient Problems HELP!!!

Im trying to export an illustrator CS6 document to PDF but whenever i export it the gradients within the document turn nearly sold. On the screen it looks fine. have changed the transparency in the document set up to high res but still, nothing changes. Does anyone have any idea?

Here you can find adjusted file: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/275719/FTPlinks/test.ai
Keep in mind i did not have the links, so it is without the links.
Problem was buildup of your file.
Black in your backround was in 4 sepparations and the circular gradient is black only. I adjusted background to black only.

  • Illustrator cs6 + msword to pdf + links problem

    Hello!
    BACKGROUND:
    I have a TABLE that I need to inserted into my ILLUSTRATIOR file.
    Whatever method I'm using is failing as the text comes in but NOT the table.
    Instead, I just do this:   MSWORD > Print PDF > in Illustrator >  Place PDF.
    PROBLEM:
    But when I want to make CHANGES TO THE PDF (changes in MS WORD DOC - REprint to PDF).  The PDF file does NOT show up in the LINKS Box. 
    Therefore, I can't UPDATE it.  I'm always having to re-insert the PDF file  -- INSTEAD of like the other files PSD, or .JPG, or whatever else gets UPDATED.
    QUESTION: 
    WHY DOES THE PDF FILE not like the OTHER files that just hang out and can be updated in the LINKS box?
    Thank you,
    M>

    I'm using PC... but the LINK selection was NOT CHECKED.
    Funny.  I never checked that when I placed all the other IMAGES -- like ever.
    Thanks, Larry, that's exactly what needed to be done!!!!!
    SOLUTION:  PLACE >  Check LINK box. Done.

  • G5, 10.6.8, trying to print biz cards, instead of clear print with sharp edges I get fuzzy print with pixels showing. Saving as PDF doesn't help. Any solution?

    If I paste the jpeg on a draw page and shrink it to fit, fuzzy print. If I create the text directly on a draw page, it's fine. (That suggests to me the problem isn't in the printer.) But I want to include a small drawing on the card, and the pasted jpeg of that small drawing is very poor quality.

  • Illustrator CS6 save as PDF Doesn't work

    I have tried saving my project as a PDF so that I can send to different people and print, but no matter which PDF options I chose in Illustrator's final step for saving as PDF I end up getting a PDF with nothing on it!  It turns up as a blank page.  If I do get a visible PDF it stays that way for only a few minutes and prints out in reversed colours!!  This is bissare.  Some Preferences or something of mine are wack??
    Thank you,
    Cheers.

    You have not provided any system info or exact settings nor version info about your Acrobat/ Reader. Sounds more like an issue there, anyway.

  • Illustrator CS6 - saving to jpeg (distored)

    Hi
    I am new to Illustrator.  I have designed a new logo using Illustrator CS6 to the best of my knowledge.  I now need to create business cards etc for printing but when I save it to jpeg it becomes very distorted after the file is uploaded to the printing site.  Even if I cut and paste to another artboard it become distored as well.
    If anyone can please help me I am getting desperate to have this finished by today for a client.
    Thanks.

    Hi thank you for replying ... I used the default settings - added the text then drew the two figures - grouped and exported to a jpeg ... I am a total novice in Illustrator I normally use photoshop but need to make business cards, postcards and will upload the jpeg to vistaprint ...
    the colours aren't the same as my original file (above) ... but when I upload to vistaprint it looks distorted ...
    If you need more information can you let me know ... thank again

  • Illustrator CS6 saving issue!

    Hi,
    I(and my colleagues) am having an Issue with CS6 when saving files. This has only happened over the past week or so yet we are unable to find a solution and need some help.
    When saving a file using the 'Save' option (not 'Save As') the file is not staying at the size of the artboard as it should, it is however being aurtomatically cropped down to the actual artwork size. This is causing issues with the Process we work with as we need the file to stay at the artboard size.
    If I click 'Save As' and change the Adobe PDF Preset to 'Press Quality' then this works, however this means that every file we save(which is quite alot in a day) means we have to go through the 'Save As' option and manually change each save.
    Does anyone know why this has suddently started to happen with our Illustrators and do you know how to fix this so that it stays at the Artboard size when 'Save' is used?
    I appreciate any help anyone can give on this.

    Having the same problem with artboards and pdf's.  Here is a screen shot of the issue.
    PDF in Illustrator CC
    Same PDF opened in Acrobat.
    Any ideas?

  • Unable to properly highlight grids created by Illustrator CC saved as .pdf's

    Hello,
    The issue I'm about to explain is a little abstract, and I'll explain it the best I can. Thanks in advance for your patience.
    Here's my Dropbox link to the files: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/73esyo467oisq9z/ToXw207v8X
    In Illustrator CC I have drawn a grid by intersecting lines which has various font characters and some with square blocks inside the grid spaces. When I save this as a .pdf, users in Adobe Reader or Acrobat Pro are unable to select the rows properly, the selection is seemingly random and unpredictable.
    In the link above you'll see two screenshots:
    correct_highlighting.png
    This is a screenshot of the desired highlighting
    This grid (chart) was made in a different program and exported as a .pdf
    incorrect_highlighting.png
    This is a screenshot of undesireable highlighting
    This grid (chart) was made in Illustrator CC and saved as a .pdf
    Acrobat 6 (PDF 1.5) with the Illustrator Default preset with no Standards preset
    Other files included:
    test chart creation.aiThe original test drawing used above
    test chart creation.pdfA test .pdf created with the specifications above
    I think the issue has something to do with the grid is created with a series of lines, so perhaps it's nothing like a spreadsheet where the highlighting flow is a set path and predictable. My thought is, how do I go about making the highlighting flow predictable?
    Any help on this would be much appreciated.

    Hi Mike,
    Thanks for your reply.
    The grid (chart) that highlights correctly is created from another program which is no longer viable, and as I need full control over the drawing, creating fields in Acrobat is not an option.
    This grid (chart) created in Illustrator CC will be used in InDesign where ultimately a .pdf is created and viewed by clients in print and on screen (mac, pc, unix, and mobile devices). It's very helpful for users to highlight and mark their place on the chart as they read it to keep their place. Sometimes clients use a 3rd party .pdf reader to accomplish this. Long story short, the program we were creating these charts with is no longer viable, and are now testing Illustrator to create charts which is perfect except for the highlighting flow issue.

  • Dimmed images are not dimmed after saved as PDF.. please help!

    Hi,
    After dimming multiple images in AI, they are dimmed in the program but once i preview the pdf I saved of the .ai file, the images are not dimmed.  What am i missing?
    Thanks!

    Dim is an Illustrator  layer options attribute, that does not tranfer over to the .pdf. You will have to either group all in the layer and set transparency to you dim percentage, or draw a white rectangle and fill that with a percentage of white.

  • Flash CS6 IDE Air Native Extensions problem HELP

    i'm trying to test out CS6's new native extension (ANE) but I'm having a difficult time getting it to work.
    First I went to Adobe's page: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/native-extensions-for-air.html
    Downloaded the "Vibration" ane and then through the Actionscript settings panel added the .ane file to my app and then in my actionscript tried to add the code:
    import com.adobe.extensions.Vibration
    var vibe:Vibration;
    vibe = new Vibration();
    vibe.vibrate();
    But when I go to compile I get this error:
    Scene 1, Layer 'Layer 2', Frame 1, Line 3
    1172: Definition com.adobe:Vibration could not be found.
    What do I need to do to get this running? I've tried several different things and variations on the above code but nothing seems to do it. Help!

    Well that gets me furthur than before. Thank you. I had to change a few things.
    import com.adobe.extensions.Vibration
    I had to change to:
    import com.adobe.nativeExtensions.Vibration
    but now when I test in the debugger I get this error:
    [SWF] iOS.swf - 3827 bytes after decompression

  • Why is Illustrator CC saving my PDFs so large?

    I know it's in my settings. I need a good quality, print-ready PDF like I used to get from the old Illustrator that is not more that a few MB.

    You have to provide much more info about your artwork and settings, possibly a screenshot, otherwise indeed as Doug said jokingly we can only assume there is a dragon or a Brontosaurus hidden in there somewhere...

  • Illustrator artwork, saved as pdf will not email to client. Doc shows up but is empty. Needed to update my cc

    Im not doing anything different than I have usually done in the past. If my  paid sub. reverted back to 'trial' shouldn't it have full functionality?

    Sending e-documents as email attachments is never a good idea; they can get lost, misdirected, or damaged.  There is also always the size restriction.
    Better use a file sharing service like https://cloud.acrobat.com/; upload and share the doc, then send the download link via email.

  • Adobe Illustrator CS6 uninstalling after restart problem?

    Hi im having a problem with Adobe Illustrator CS6
    I have installed Adobe Illustrator CS6 which was fine no problems.
    The problem occurs when i shut the computer down then restart it, the short cut to the programme does not work.
    In Start > All Programmes the software has a blank file next to it, meaning its not there.
    This is also the same for extension manager CS6, tool kit CS6, help CS6, bridge CS6and adobe reader XI.
    I also have on my laptop Dreamweaver CS5.5 could this have an affect on the newer software, as this too comes with extension manager CS5.5, tool kit CS5.5, but the older versions?
    My Laptop Spec is:-
    Acer Aspire 5742Z
    Windows7 Home Premium Service pack 1
    Intel(r) Pentium(R) CPU P6100 @ 2.00GHz 2.00 GHz
    RAM: 4.00GB
    64-bit Operating System
    I have Norton Internet Security.
    This is also playing up and can be only accessed on the toolbar right hand corner of the screen. (i dont think norton is the problem with illustrator)
    **In safe mode i am able to see the icons in the Start > All Programmes and able to click the files and the software load***
    Any help on the matter is appreciated.
    If anymore details are needed please ask.
    Thanks
    Eran

    We need system information. After you run the cleaner tool, there is no need to uninstall anything, which won't work, anyway. that's the whole point of the tool. You simply reinstall the app.
