Placed .tiff files in illustrator have box around them.

I am wondering how to properly place .tiff files in illustrator, so that they can easily be set up for commercial printing. I have created a simple sell sheet for a product that has 3 placed tiff images in it. The images are circular and appear fine on screen. However, when printed, the images have a slightly darker box around them. The images were created in photoshop, and i'm wondering if i needed to use a clipping mask or perhaps another format for the images to maintain the transparency. Should i rasterize the images, embed, or keep linked? Any help would be great!

I am getting a dark line around psd images (they have clipping paths) which I place into illustrator. Everything looks fine in illustrator, but when I save the AI file with pdf compatibility and open it in photoshop, there is a dark line around the images. My solution was to save the bubble as a tiff file (there is an option to save with transparency), and then place the new file into AI. It seems to work soo-far.  After I placed the attachments into this forum, I realized that they are too small to see the black lines around the bubbles.)

  • Touch selections have box around them

    iPod Touch, 4G.  Screen is extremely slow to repsond.  When I select an app, a box is shown around the app.  I must tap many times before anything happens.  Can't scroll screens.  When I go to settings, can't scroll down to select choices.
    I did do a factory restore - no help.

  • Programmatically generated hyperlinks in PDF now have boxes around them (v. 10.1.4)

    Hi
    I wonder if anyone has encountered this problem which only appeared in version 10.1.4 of both the Reader and Acrobat and if so, have you found a solution/workaround?
    Hyperlinks that are generated programmatically now have visible borders around them which can't be turned off. Our company uses a specialist programme to generate PDF publications from XML. Since Adobe has released the new 10.1.4 update, all the hyperlinks originally created in XML and converted to PDF are encapsulated in a box. This does not apply to manual links. My (personal) solution was to downgrade the Reader to 10.1.3 and Acrobat to 10.0.0  (because that was when the back button last worked properly and I use that all the time), but we cannot advise our customers to do the same - downgrading is not exactly a breeze. I view this as a bug or oversignt on Adobe's part and I really hope the next update will address this issue. If anyone has found a solution, please share it. Thank you.

    Oh, I didn’t realise that, sorry!
    OK, I’ve attached two pages extracted from one of our publications. If you open the file in Reader 10.1.4 you will see a mixture of links with borders and without borders – the ones without were done by hand and you can actually go into properties and change them. The other ones don’t let you access the properties because they are created by our system (called CLS). The links with visible borders still work, so it’s only a question of aesthetics. Only one link (3.4) in the attached PDF will work because it’s taking you to a place inside this very same document; the others were disabled during extraction.
    I can provide a bigger file, if you think it’s any help.

  • Slideshow captions appear to have boxes around them when viewed on mobile devices

    Hi... I searched for this problem but couldn't find a reference - appologies if I didn't quite use the right search terms and it's already been answered.
    I am having problems with a basic slideshow widget - when viewed on a PC (iMac in this instance) the image captions, counter and navigation buttons do NOT have any visible borders (I haven't stroked or filled the container boxes, other than the nav buttons). However, view the same slideshow on an iPad, or iPhone and there appears to be boxes around the caption, counter and nav buttons. I would prefer there to be no visible box outlines.
    The problem page can be viewed here (remember, fine on a PC, not fine on a mobile device)
    http://mikehiggs.co.uk/musesite/case-studies.html
    There are two slide shows on the page as I tried two different widgets - both have the same problem.
    The odd thing is, I used the same method on the Home Page slideshow at the top of the page and this is working fine.
    If anyone can shed any light on this 'problem' I'd very much appreciate it - I have tried everything I know at this stage.
    Thanks in advance of any help.
    Addendum...
    If I change the slideshow transitions from 'horizontal' to 'fade' the problem goes away. But I would prefer the slideshow to slide.
    Just thought this extra info may help diagnose the problem.

  • The hyperlinks in my pdf all have a blue shaded box around them when viewing in adobe reader.

    The hyperlinks in my pdf all have a blue shaded box around them when viewing in adobe reader. How can I get rid of these? Why is this happening? The pdf was created from a presentation in powerpoint and uses the links for some interactivity. 

    That's a great feature request. I'd like the ability to turn off the blue boxes over hyperlinks as well.

  • My iMac PPC has little A's with boxes around them instead of text?

    After my son's visit from NYC my iMac PPC OS 10.4.11 now has A's with boxes around them instead of usual names across the top of the screen.  No more File Edit etc across the top of the screen?

    That's usually caused by a third-party font manager competing with FontBook. Check the links in this old thread:

    And speak sternly to your son if he installed a font manager

  • A's with boxes around them??

    Everywhere on my desktop where there is supposed to be text there are A's with boxes around them. This is the same when I click on the finder...instead of having things like My Documents it has nothing but A's with boxes around them. I have a print screen picture of it but don't know how to post it on here.

  • Hyperlinks show up with a box around them in Pages 2 PDF's.

    I am excited that web links now show up as hyperlinks. However, when I export a .pdf of the document, the hyperlinks end up with a box around them that makes them unreadable.
    Any idea how to get rid of the box. It doesn't show up in the original document. Only when you view invisibles.

    Dennis,
    you are right with your thought. I am thankful for every info to get better in every way. The posts in the Pages Discussions are easy to understand and so it should be. Wow, I can tell you, that this is very different to some 3D forums.
    After I know how to start the English version of Pages (thank you Matthias, this was a very good advice), I think most people can follow my explanations better, without the time of waiting for your title translations

  • How do I disable Illustrator (CS6) from recognising TIFF paths inside placed TIFF files?

    Hi all,
    I have recently output a job to print that was supplied .AI with a simple .TIFF image placed on an artboard at its desired crop.
    After referring to the original TIFF file I have realised whilst inside illustrator my image suddenly has a clipping mask attached to it, and a lot of it is missing. (however in outline, illustrator only see's a single TIFF bounding box)
    Looking more closely at the TIFF in Photoshop, i've found it has x3 paths inside it!)
    Illustrator is picking these up and masking my photo. Is there a default function or process that can stop this from happening in the future, so it ignores any paths within the file?
    It's concerning how many jobs may be ruined because of this auto feature.
    I look forward to your response
    Thanks
    Matt

    haha, it's not an easy one to describe.
    So when checking the TIFF initially, it is a flat locked image: (image below)
    when placed into Illustrator CS2 and outputting a PDF, I get this correct result: (image below)
    When placed into illustrator CS6 and output to PDF I get this incorrect result: (image below)
    Close up detailing masking effect: (image below)
    When looking more closely in photoshop at my TIFF, it has this inside of it: (image below)
    However, in illustrator there is nothing I can release anywhere as it still treats it as a flat image: (image below)

  • Placing Photoshop file in Illustrator CS5 - why doesn't it work?

    I frequently place Photoshop files into Illustrator CS3 without issue.... the PS file places right into the file with transparent surroundings.
    I just upgraded to CS5 and for some reason, I "Place" the Photoshop file, but nothing shows up in Illustrator.  I must not have a preference set correctly.
    Can you help?
    Thanks.

    Hi Matthew - thanks for taking the time to check this issue out for me.
    I have just uninstalled Illustrator CS5, because I need to get things done - and reverted back to CS3..... however, I did duplicate a file to demonstrate what I'm doing.
    I created a sample file with a very simple, non-descript  green vector shape.... then, In Photoshop, I created a yellow image that says Photoshop Placed File.  I gave it a dropshadow...
    I then went back to Illustrator and selected 'File/place'..... and selected the photoshop file described above.  I then placed it on top of the green vector image in Illustrator CS3 and it layed on top fine - with NO white box around it as a jpg would do.  PLUS, the black dropshadow fades nicely over whatever image color you place it upon.... it 'gradually' lets the vector color below it show through as the fade diminishes to 0%.
    NOW - I tried to 'place' a file into Illustrator CS5 in this same manner.... and I get absolutely nothing!  The Raster photoshop image doesn't even show up in Illustrator CS5.  This is where I was at when I started the topic.
    Any ideas??

  • Colour shift when placing PSD files into illustrator

    Hi there
    I have tested this issue on CS 3,4 and 5.
    bascially if I create a CMYK document with a colour image and save this down as a psd file with the coated Fogra 39 embedded in it. If I create a new file within Illustrator with the same colur management and place the psd file into the document and check the link option (so it is a linked file), the colour shifts when using the colour picker. If I print the document from each APP they visually look different as well.
    If I place the psd into illustrator without selecting the link option the colour has the same CMYK values as the psd within Photoshop and also prints correctly.
    i can only assume that there is an option somewhere in regards to the "link" option and how this changes tha colour values somewhere? If not is there anyway I can get around this issue so I can use linked files without the CMYK values changing?
    Thanks in advance
    Paul

    Hi guys
    Thanks for the responses.
    I use bridge to blanket the colour settings so this i feel this is not the issue here. If you have a moment and would kindly create a colour tint within PS of what ever colour, save this down as any format and place this into illustrator with the link checkbox checked you will see the colour data has physically changed for the CMYK values. This results in the prints looking different as well. If you deselct the link check box when placing the file the CMYK values are the same.
    I tried the overprint preview option. This changes the viewable colour on screen but not the CMYK data of the file.
    There seems to be a fundamental floor with this link option for some reason.
    I might have phone Adobe direct for this iisue as I cannot find a fix for this.
    Many thanks
    Paul

  • Problem placing PSD file in Illustrator

    G'day,
    My problem is when i place PSD file into illustrator, it opens up "Photoshop Import Option" menu,
    which lets me choose either:
    (1) convert photoshop layers to objects (or)
    (2) Flatten photoshop layers to a single image
    all other options are greyed out (meaning i cannot select them)
    The above 2 options will embed the image into illustrator, thus when i update in photoshop, they will not auto update.
    I dont have this problem in the past (which means i dont get this menu when i use the place function) but it just poped up the last week.
    But when i open OLD illustrator files which have PSD images not embeded, i am able to edit the PSD and illustrator will auto update.
    Please help it is really frustrating to keep placing PSD files everytime when i have changes.
    Thanks!

    Hi Steve,
    May i know what is the place dialogue box are you referring to?
    The Place dialogue box that i get (when i press file>place) is the image below:
    As you can see i dont have any "link" button to check or uncheck. I can either flatten the psd or convert to object.
    My Problem is I would really like to link back the psd file for easy updates but i am not able to.
    Pls help thx!~
