Problem with Gradient Noise in "save as PDF"

I'm trying to save a design as a pdf, using the high quality print/illustrator default options. The output is generating a bunch of noise in a corner of a couple of gradients, and also some line noise where different gradients meet. I'll include a screen shot of the pdf exported as well as a jpg exported to illustrate the difference. PDF export is the only one that's generating this noise, everything else I try works fine. I've tried changing presets, adjusting the transparancy flattner settings, leaving appearances live as well as expanding them. Nothing seems to work. Any help is GREALY appreacited as I'm trying to turn this file over ASAP!

Here's an isolated piece of the AI, I exported to confirm that it has the same problem. I put the ai and pdf up on my server:

  • Problems with gradient feather when saving as pdf

    I have an InDesign CS4 file which has a high-quality grayscale jpg with a CMYK jpg on top of it. The later has a gradient feather effect applied to it. When I export to pdf, some people (I believe with an older version of Reader or Preview) cannot view the gradient. From a computer like this, it prints the most transparent part of the gradient as the entire gradient, so I think it's still there but very hard to see.
    I haven't been able to test it in Reader because I can't find an older version, but I know it doesn't work in an older version of Preview (3.0.9 is what I tried). However, everything I've tried hasn't worked—I've tried changing the Transparency Blend Space to RGB, Exporting as Acrobat 4.0 (which works but looks horrible); I've exported as Press Quality and High Quality Print, and played with profile settings. I've also made sure that all my graphics and profiles match as CMYK, because originally they didn't. The only thing that works is if I open it in my version of Mac Preview (5.0.2) and then Save As a pdf from it. But I'm afraid the colors and perhaps quality are affected in so doing. I've also googled this to no avail.
    Has anyone else had this problem? Can someone help?
    This is what is should look like.
    This is what it does. Notice the color is still in the "contact us" (and all the colors on p.2 are fine).

    What version campatibility for Acrobat do you have selected in your export settings? Changing to Acrobat 4 will make it compatible with 4 and later, but you'll wind up falttening the the transparency and heve nasty looking white stitching lines all over the place that will show on screen and print on most desktop devices, not to mention a loss of interactivity, I think.
    Reader is free... Tell these people to download an upgrade to the most recent version that will run on their systems rather than trying to dumb down your file.

    Hi,
    It should be somewhat easier to try that out in landscape orientation. Does that help?

  • Problem with gradients

    Hello,
    I am having a problem with gradients in a Captivate 2
    project. I have a lot of images in a presentation that use
    gradients. Once the movie is published, the gradients are looking
    very banded. It almost looks like the images are being converted to
    gif's. I have also noticed this with photos that have a lot of
    colors in them. I set the jpg quality to 100%, but that didn't seem
    to have any effect.
    Is there a settings I am missing? Any help with this would be
    greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    - Jason

    Hi Jason
    Normally, we suggest that folks remove gradients from window
    title bars. However, assuming you know this and it's your
    application that is displaying the gradient (for example, an image
    inside Microsoft Paint) you might try looking in the following
    places and tweaking as necessary:
    * Slide Properties - Slide Tab - Quality drop-down.
    * Project > Preferences... > Preferences tab > JPEG
    image quality
    * If this is a full motion video clip where you see a
    camcorder icon on the Film Strip - Options > Recording
    Options... > Full Motion Recording tab > Video color mode
    Cheers... Rick

  • Problems with notes and mark ups in pdf

    I'm having problems with the Adobe reader for iPad.
    Whenever I modify a pdf file, adding notes or any other mark up, I'm not able to see any of the markups in the file when I open the same file with another application or I send it via e-mail.
    Only the digital signature is still visible.
    Thanks

    You are correct. When i open it with Adobe i get my mark ups etc. When i use Apple`s pdf view i do not.
    Problem solved.

    Can you share what applications you are using to view the notes after emailing? You have to view the document in a Reader that supports annotations. Apple ships a built in pdf viewer (like the one used in iBooks) that many iOS developers use (e.g. Dropbox, email). This built in PDF viewer does not support rendering annotations. However, many other applications (like the Adobe Reader for iOS and the Adobe desktop products) do support Annotation rendering. Similarly, one of our competitor's PDF viewers (PDFExpert) supports this functionality as well. Annotations are part of the PDF standard and the specification is widely available and we would love to see more renderers support it!

  • Problem with active noise cancellation function : ...

    My nokia 6720 have problem with active noise cancellation function. It seem not working because it also have noise when this function is active. So, I try to disable this function and found that the noise is reduce (but still not clear). How do I correct this problem?
    Thanks.
    P.S. Firmware version is 012.008

    "I must must achive a segnificant attenuation of the noise in a closed volume using some NI devices ..."
    At first glance I would say "probably can be done using an FPGA as a target" since the FPGA can close a very fast loop.
    But to do that with a microphone input on a PC running Windows...
    I suspect that would be an exercise in futility.
    Anyone out there been able to turn around a microphone input fast enough to something like this?

  • Problems with saving Word 2007 table as PDF

    I have a table in MS Word 2007 with some merged cells. If I use the Save as ... PDF or XPS option in Word 2007 to save this document as a PDF, the resulting PDF has a table with a discontinuous table grid. The table lines around the cells are broken.
    Is this a problem with the Word table or does the Save as PDF command not work well with tables.
    Thanks,

  • Acrobat 11 Pro - problem with right-click "Convert to Adobe PDF" output folder

    I'm migrating from one machine running Windows XP Pro with Acrobat 8 Pro to Windows 7 Pro with Acrobat 11 Pro.
    On the XP machine, when I right-click on a document and select "convert to Adobe PDF" the process works just fine - it always outputs the file to the target destination I have set in the Adobe PDF printer definition.
    On the Windows 7 Pro/Acrobat 11 Pro machine, the exact same settings are ignored: the PDF will always end up in the same folder as the source file.
    Both the source folder and the destination folder are on one of my office's networked drives.
    Under the Printing Preferences, I have the output folder address set the same on both machines, so it *should* go to the right location on the new machine.
    Oddly enough, on the Acrobat 11 Pro machine, if I select Adobe PDF as the default printer and do a test print, it *does* print to the correct folder!
    This has got me stumped!
    Thoughts?
    (update from later in the day)
    If Adobe PDF is selected as the default printer, I *can* select a bunch of documents, right-click, select "print", and Word will open up, and they'll print to the correct target folder.
    So, it's "just" the right-click "Convert to Adobe PDF" that doesn't work correctly.

    The reinstall is typically the last ditch effort to do. The first step is Help>Repair and Help>Updates. As far as Office 2013, the PDF Maker of AA X is not compatible and you can only print. In your list of errors it showed a problem with AcroTray.exe. As a first step, go to the print and select print-to-file. The file will be a PS file (maybe with a PRN extension). Once the printer if finished, open the file in Distiller to complete the process. If that is successful, then the problem is with AcroTray. Check your running tasks to be sure AcroTray is indeed running. If not, that is likely the problem. If it is, then restart it (it is located in the Acrobat folder). AcroTray provides the interface between the PS creation and Distiller to automate the process of creating the PDF.

  • Problems with gradient tool bar not remaining on object applied in illustrator cc

    Hello,
    when applying a gradient to a rectangle i will get the gradient tool, click on the left half of the object i want it applied to and while holding down drag a line to thew right hand side of the object. the problem the arises when i release the mouse as the gradient bar that has been shown while holding down then disappears. this applies the gradient but the issue is that all gradient editing has to be done on the gradient window as a posed to live on the object slowing the work flow.
    I am not sure what I'm doing wrong but help would be much appreciated.
    Kind regards
    Joseph

    Just for the sake of learning how to use the tool i start with drawing a rectangle then click and drag the gradient tool across the box. i see the gradient line appear but when i release the mouse the gradient line disappears
    i end up witha box with a gradient but all my editing has to be done in the gradient box as shown in this screen shot:

  • Problem with clicking noise and using hdapm

    I'm having a problem with my 2009 17" MacBook Pro, with Lion. I installed a new, larger hard drive, and ever since then a tinny clicking noise has been emanating from the laptop. I tried to install hdapm, and I am able to successfully download the .dmg file and mount the disk image. However, at this point, all I see is a .pkg file. I clicked to install the program, abd then added the command to Lingon to execute 'hdapm disk0 max' upon startup. However, Console said that it failed to execute this command. I tried entering it directly on Terminal, and still no luck. It should be compatible with my hard drive, but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. From what I've gathered, there should be another file in the original disk image that I can move into my Applications folder; however, I could not find it anywhere. Does anyone have any suggestions about how to resolve this issue? Thanks!

    This is not a disk failure problem, regardless of how there are disk failure modes that act like this. It is a hard disk firmware situation that conflicts with OS hd controllers. It is a problem that comes and goes, or gets less of a problem or more of a problem depending on OS upgrades. Although I have it happening with a Seagate drive, it is reported on Western Digital drives.
    It is also not only exclusively a Mac hardware problem or software problem. There are comments on Dell's forums, and even a Seagate firmware upgrade (which I fear to do.) There are also solutions where people boot to Unix, do the fix there, then reboot to Mac and it disappears and stays disappeared.
    ==>> N.B. – In Lion and the last couple versions of SL, you need to place a 'sudo' in front of the 'hdapm disk0 max'. Then it will work...for a while...maybe.
    I have modified versions of the airport plist in the past from 'always on' to 'when needed' and that helps until the OS changes something. Then the same 'fix' won't make the constant head parking stop.
    Different combinations of programs will start it up. Sometimes just getting the head busy for a while, like playing songs on iTunes, will stop it and upon closing iTunes will continue to keep it off. (Playing songs with a lot of percussion will not disguise the problem since by the time you try that you will be sensitized to hear the sound even when it is -96dB from ambient.)
    A new variation with Lion has been to get the click going a couple minutes !!!after!!! putting the system to sleep! In fact, this problem has never been so uncontrollable as with Lion.
    ...and that is why I am back searching the forums to see if anyone has an up-to-date solution.
