Saving adobe file as pdf

I am having trouble when I save an ai file as a pdf. All of the art I have placed on the clothing is blurry and has really thick lines? Suggestions? I have not run into this before.

Without knowing your pdf settings, or how thick your lines are would suggest:
blurriness - resolution of your pdf is to low
thick lines - you may have in Acrobat >> preferences  enhance thin lines on.

  • Saving a file as PDF from CC Illustrator

    Just updated from CS3 to CC Illustrator. In the old CS3 if I saved a file as a PDF. Adobe acrobat would open and I would then see the file on the screen as a PDF. Now in CC the file just save as a PDF in illustrator and doesn't reopen so I can see the document large and clear with the trim marks and bleeds. Is there a setting I need to change?
    Thanks in advance. Self trained illustrator user here with little experience:) Any help is appreciated.

    In the PDF Save Options (second dialog), make sure this box is checked.

  • Saved Adobe Illustrator as PDF. When opened, PDF does not contain the images?

    I am using a brochure type template in Illustrator and I have placed a few images in the brochure.
    I have completed my brochure and want to save the AI file as a PDF.
    I have saved the PDF file but when I open it, all of the images are gone.
    What can I do to fix this?

    Sorry for all of the vagueness. Here are some details.
    I placed the image by doing: File->Place and then I just dropped the image in. I have tried to embed the image but that didn't seem to help. The images are on my local computer.
    I didn't do anything to the images other than placing a rectangle box/border around the image. I sent to border to the back and brought my images forward.
    I saved the file to a PDF by doing: File->Save a Copy... and then saved it as a PDF.
    I open the PDF file with Adobe Reader XI

  • Issue saving adobe files

    Is anyone else having this issue since they upgraded to SL....
    When I have saved a file (usually a jpeg or pdf) and i try to save a document or export a document as that same file name to overwrite it, it tells me that i cannot do so because the file is in use. Then i have to go to the physical location on my drive and delete that file so that i can save the revised version. It is really time consuming and frustrating.
    any help is appreciated.

  • Saving Framemaker file as PDF

    I saved a FrameMaker 8 file as PDF using File>Save as > PDF. When double-clicked on the PDF, it showed a message "A number was out of range". I ignored the warning and clicked on OK, and the PDF opened.
    I was not getting this error till now. Why does it occur now? How can I fix it? (I have a feeling that an Adobe update I installed may be behind this).

    I encountered this problem in a PDF produced using the combination of FM8 + "Save as PDF".
    The "number is out of range" message is displayed upon opening the PDF in Acrobat/Reader.
    Upon inspecting the Initial View settings in Acrobat (under Initial View), an excessively large number was displayed to the right of the Open to Page box (1234567890).
    It turned out that the "Fit Width" setting for the "At Zoom" option in FrameMaker's PDF Settings dialog box (+"Save as PDF") was consistently responsible for the strange value and the related error. When choosing a value of "Default" or "Fit Page", the PDF was produced correctly.
    This problem was not encountered when printing to a .PS file and distilling.

  • When saving photoshop file in PDF, my document changes, how do I solve this?

    Is there anything i'm doing wrong?
    Is there a setting I need to change for saving my files so they don't change?
    Thank you for your help!

    Hi,
    Which operating system and version of photoshop cs6 are you using?
    You can find out the exact photoshop cs6 version by going to Help>System Info from within photoshop and looking at the very first line that says Photoshop Version.

  • Can you edit text after saving your file as pdf

    I have recently created a letterhead in Illustrator.
    Is there a way to change a person name and title after saving it as a pdf file? I heard something about creating a form in Acrobat professsional.
    I need to print out a letterhead with different peoples name and title. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Can you edit the text in Acrobat Reader?
    Yes, if you use Acrobat Pro to save the PDF as a Reader-enabled form.
    1. Create your letterhead in Illustrator (or whatever). Leave design space for, but do not create text objects that you want to be editable.
    2. Save as PDF.
    3. Open the PDF in Acrobat Pro. Use Acrobat's Form tools to add text fields whereever you want the end users to be able to key text.
    4. Select the Enable Reader Usage Rights command in Acrobat to make the form fields edtiable in Reader. Save the file.
    Recipients of the PDF can now open it in Reader, edit the content of the fields, and save the file with their edits.

  • Re: Saving Greyscale File to PDF

    This is a dumb question, but.....if I create a greyscale document in PS, and save it as a PDF, it stays greyscale, right???  
    Thank you!!

    Noel, pfaffenbichler, and Gernot -- thank you very much for your posts!!!!!  I appreciate your help !
    I need the greyscale files to be placed in an InDesign publication, which I am creating.   Some of the greyscale files I create, some are sent to me in various formats (PDF, JPEG, Word, and Publisher files, mostly -- some are professionally created, some are not).  I create files in PS and/or ID (I know, I know, I should use AI, just never got the hang of it).  I prefer to save PS files as PDF's, because PSD's appear to be rasterized in ID (the text is no longer text).  When I receive PDF's from others, and convert them to greyscale in Acrobat, they become very dark, but at least retain the text as text.  If converted in PS, they mostly retain their original look -- BUT, then the text is no longer text!  What is the correct way of converting these files??
    I will give more background.....Once a year, I use InDesign to create a booklet which is printed in CMYK, of course.  Last year, many of the black/white pages of the proof booklet had a color tinge to them.  I mentioned this to the printer, and he said he would fix it, which he did.  However, we had to print a handful more booklets, which the printer used my files, not the FIXED files, and the result was icky black & white pages.  This year, I asked the printer what I needed to do to fix this, and he said convert the files to greyscale in Photoshop.  Most of the pages which should be in greyscale, are ads which are sent to me, and I do not have the original; and a few are ads which I have created, therefore have the original files. 
    Long story short, I am trying to figure out the best way to be certain my black/white pages do NOT print with a color tinge, and are crisp/clear. 
    If you are still reading......everyone, thanks again for the help!!

  • NEED HELP OPENING SAVED ADOBE FILE

    I had some important info saved on a disc (an adobe reader file).  I hadn't tried opening it in a while but when I try opening it it says something about a file i/o error.  Is there a solution or is the info lost?  I don't know if it has anything to do with the different laptops because I remember being able to view it on my old laptop.  Please help!

    I TRIED TO SAVE IT TO THE HARD DRIVE AND OPEN IT BUT IT WOULD NOT EVEN SAVE IT. THERE WAS ANOTHER ERROR MESSAGE.  BUT THANK YOU SO MUCH.  WHAT CAUSES A CORRUPT FILE?
    If you couldn't save it to your drive then it's probably a corrupt disk rather than a corrupt file.
    As far as causes for corrupt files, there can be many causes. The disk could be corrupt because it wasn't formatted correctly (and your OS won't read it), it could be scratched, just a plain old bad disk (I test all of mine before sending them to anyone)...etc. Again, many reasons it could be bad.
    Unfortunately, it sounds like you won't be able to save your file.

  • Colour problems saving Ilustrator file to pdf and jpeg (blacks go brown + some quality is lost)

    Hi,
    I was wandering id anybody could help me with a problem that has plagued me for a few projects now. I can't seem to find a solution.
    When I have a file in Illustrator that I want to save as or export as a PDF or JPEG whenever I save it the colours shift and the quality drops.
    Most noticiably black boxes goes to a muddy brown when saved to JPEGS, but I have also noticed tones in Photographs change quite a lot when saving as PDF.
    I have tried to tweek every type of setting there is. higher resoulution, compression, sampling, down sampling, PDF preset, print quality etc.but nothing seems to sort it out. PDF's arent as much as a problem as the JPEG but the only way I have managed to get a PDF up to a reasonable standard is by wacking everything up so there is no compression or downsampling which makes ginat files I cant email....
    Im sure the problem probably lies within the combination of each of these together but I cant seem to find out what that is.
    Has anybody else had this problem or know how to fix it? I have been searching blogs for so long?
    Thanks
    Leo
    (Before saving to JPEG)
    (After)
    Notice the black box with text in has turned a bit brown
    Also brown in the seat base has gone more orange and the whole picture has generaly lost quality.

    Leo,
    The file is CMYK Color Mode. Do you export to a CMYK JPEG or an RGB one?
    It is conceivable that the colour conversion of photographs (which are originally RGB) may cause the PDF issue.
    Obviously, you will have to choose a Color Mode. If (also) intended for print, the obvious choice is CMYK, but that often affects the appearance or artwork/images originally created in RGB.
    Colour management/settings and calibration may also be significant.

  • Saving photoshop file as pdf but transparent background turns white

    Am trying to save file created as photoshop file (which has transparent background) as pdf to send to printer but when I reopen the saved pdf file it appears to be on a white background? Can anybody help please?

    What are you "reopening" it with?
    "Photoshop PDF" is not enough information. The PDF options window has various settings for PDF versions - Acorbat 4, Acrobat 5, Acrobat 6, etc. Actobat 4 will not include transparency or layers. Acrobat 5 will include layers but not transparency, Acorbat 6 will include both layers and transparency.

  • Scanning and saving a file as pdf - 0kb Error

    After a particular document is scanned and saved as .pdf file, the saved file does appear in its respective folder (Sharepoint 2013) but the size still appears as 0 KB (wherein the contents of the document are not saved).

    Michael,
    Thanks for your response but I don't really understand your answer.  So you're saying that a PDF can't be saved to a server??  Regardless, I've narrowed down our problem to one particular source where we are getting PDF's from.  We've found an alternative method. 

  • Saving excel file to PDF

    I can do this easily enough, but the pdf loses the lines within the document (its a prices sheet that has columns etc...and shows text only.
    What am I doing wrong?

    Hi biskit,
    This could be a setting in the excel preferences "dont print table borders" or something along those lines, it will also apply that to exporting or saving to pdf.
    Another thing you could try is file menu > print > in the print dialog that pops up at the bottom you will see an option to save as PDF, maybe that way it will show the lines.
