Saving PDF from AI causes TIF images to be 'intersected' by vector shape behind it

Hi,
I am encountering this issue frequently and would appreciate any insight...
When I have a design made up of both embedded TIF Images and vector shapes which overlap, the shape of the vector beneath 'cuts' or intersects the image laid on top and produces a white area there.
It is seen in the full color PDF's I send to the printers at the local newspaper. The PDF is saved at 180dpi. The 'save illustrator editing capabilities' makes no difference whether it's checked on or not. It does not occur in 300 dpi PDF's Saved from AI.
The problem is the printers save all artwork to 180dpi PDF's no matter what format I send.
Can this be avoided by doing something on my side? or has anyone else had this before?
Thanks,
TJ

And since no one has replied back to me, I'm guessing that the average user doesn't even know how to do something basic like export a vector PDF from graphics with text,
it seems so.. as you don´t know how to do it. 
sorry i can´t help im a photo guy and i think i have never touched PDF in photoshop.

What are you people doing?? This is such a tortorous user interface!!
yep especially that copy and paste is not working via mouse annoys me. i only get the "insert, image link" stuff on my right mouse button.... and i don´t need that as often as copy & paste.
the quote function is not very good either, compared with other forum software.

  • Problem saving pdf from preview

    Since upgrading to 10.4.3 I have noticed that preview behaves strangely when re-saving pdf files. If I preview a pdf document and the use the "save" function to make a copy, the copied file is about twice the size of the original, and the Table of Contents data seems to be lost. I've noticed this for files produced from the TeX package, such as are on the physics electronic archives (http://arxiv/org). Any explanation would be appreciated! I realise that I could just save a copy directly, but it is sometimes handy to preview first, and I am a little disturbed to discover that preview appears to be changing pdf files unnecessarily when saving them.
    12" powerbook   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    I can't help you, but I'm having the same problem with version 9.4.1
    I have been trying to "save as" some .pdf documents (monthly statements) from a financial institution, but it does not work when I right click on the file, or when I right click on the document.  Like you, I click on the "disc" icon, and nothing happens.  I was able to save these in August and prior, but not now.  It makes no sense.
    When I open these documents, they appear in a web window, not in the Reader software, so there is no tool bar showing "file", "edit", "view", etc, like what appearsw in Acrobat.  I'm stumped.  I posted this several days before you, but no replies yet.  I'm not real eager to pay $39 for the adobe help desk just yet.

  • "Create PDF from scanner" causes Adobe 8.1 to crash

    Can anyone help us repair Acrobat 8?  Or upgrade/reinstall Acrobat 9?  We've got WinXP, running SP 3.
    When we moved our PC to our new office, the create PDF from scanner function quit working, and now makes the entire program crash.  We can still create PDFs other ways, but from scanner isn't working - the "Acrobat Scan" dialog box opens, but after about 5-10 seconds, the crash window comes up.  Repairing, updating, uninstalling, and reinstalling the software all fail.  Here are the errors for each attempt:
    Repairing: "Preparing to install" dialog pops up but immediately disappears and no further action takes place.
    Updating: It attempts to install update to 8.1.4, and the process begins, but after 5-10 seconds quits with error dialog "The installation process has encountered a problem. Please choose from the following options:" with 3 choices - run again, stop and start later, or cancel and quit.  Selecting "run update again" just causes the error dialog to come up again.  The other 2 quit the install entirely.
    Uninstalling (via add/remove programs) and reinstalling (via downloading the software from the Order ID site again) both fail independent of each other with the same error: “The installation source for this product is not available.  Verify that the source exists and that you can access it.”
    We do a lot of scanning to PDF's ... how can we fix this?  There've been no other PC problems whatsoever, otherwise ...
    My name is Scott Knowles, tech support guy for my sister's PC ... whose account this is. 

    The scanner is an all-in-one printer, in perfect working order otherwise.   Good idea though - I tried scanning *outside* the Acrobat software ... that proved the scanner software *is* faulty ... I'll repair that.  Thank you !

  • Saved PDF from Stored Procedure missing application item in report header

    I am able to create and save the pdf from a stored procedure however the application item that contains the date is blank in the saved pdf. Report title displays correctly when running via APEX. I have tried to set this value with, apex_util.set_session_state('F111_DATE',sysdate); and also as a cookie owa_cookie.send('F11_DATE',to_char(sysdate,'Month DD, YYYY'));
    and neither of these statements work. Example of code below...
    vRequest := Utl_Http.begin_request(vReportUrl,'POST');
    Utl_Http.set_header(vRequest, 'User-Agent', 'Mozilla/4.0');
    owa_cookie.send('F11_DATE',to_char(sysdate,'Month DD, YYYY'));

  • Can I use Automator to create a multi-page PDF from a selection of images?

    Well can I? I have looked at Preview extensively but found no option to create a multi-page document from all open images. I can create single-page PDF's easily, but that's not what I want.
    Does it make a difference if they are TIFF, JPEG, etc?

    Take a look at
    PDFLab
    It will create a multi – page .pdf from a folder of .jpgs. I am ** guessing ** it will work with .tiffs.
    No Alibi.

  • Final images in a saved .pdf from Illustrator don't look correct

    Illustrator Newb:
    I'm making a design for a new product that comes in 3 different flavors. So I have 1 design, in 3 different colors. 
    I created all of my different parts for the design in Photoshop CS4 as .pdfs and placed them all in an Illustrator file (except for the text and a few shadows, strokes and such). I'm having problems with 1 of my placed images. It's placed 4 different times, and all 4 are either not showing up or are cropped in odd irregular ways. I have no paths or other hidden parts in the file that would cover them and it only shows up wrong when the Illustrator file is saved as a .pdf.
    I went back to the original .psd thinking there was a problem w/ it, and resaved it under a new name and it still saves in AI all broken up.
    Because I have 3 different flavors, I've done this in the other files, from that same orignal .psd and they turned out fine. And because this design is confidential I can't post pictures of the error to help describe my problem... The problem started yesterday and we're already behind production schedule.
    But any help would be nice. Please and thank you!

    Also:
    The first design I made in AI I saved the .ai file under a different name and changed the minor things I needed to make it the other flavor. I can't go back to that original file because I keep getting a Runtime Error when I open it. Not every file has this error, just the original.. THE ONE I REALLY NEED.

  • Creating PDF files from Quark causes font/image issues. PLEASE HELP.

    After creating a PDF file using Adobe Acrobat Professional (using the file>Export to PDF option) from QuarkXPress version 7.3, my client sees and prints distorted letters with various fonts and they even sometimes see lines where they shouldn't be. I don't see these issues on my end, even when I print the documents. For example, I may have a headline of four words, the top of the words are shifted to one side, or sometimes even the top half of the letters are in a different color. Please help soon before I lose my clients... or my mind. Thanks.

    We don't use Quark anymore, but I seem to remember that the export to pdf does not use Acrobat Distiller. It is Quark's own pdf maker. If the customer does have Acrobat Professional, then get them to print to the Adobe PDF 'printer' and seeif they get the same problem. They may need to open the Distiller app to set which output settings are used.

  • Saving pdf from webpages

    I read a lot of PDF documents on several research web sites. On these particular websites, the PDFs load in the page only. I can right-click and select "Open in Preview" which is great, because then I can quickly skim the article and see if I want to save it.(faster in preview app, than trying to read it in safari).
    The catch is when I go to save the file to a folder on my local disk.
    I choose save as, and the little save window pops up and has the default save location set to private/tmp. I realize that when I click open in preview, it downloads it to the private/tmp dir, and opens it. Then when I save, it defaults to the location the file was at. However, the tmp directory will never ever be useful for saving 20-30 documents which I can quickly whip up to be saved.
    Having to re-name the document title(after saving it to tmp, it assigns numbers like "2412476251" to the name of the file), then choose from the list(at the very bottom) for recent locations is very annoying! it adds a lot of time and frustration to gathering research materials.
    I thought I remembered OSX(before I had to reinstall everything today) keeping the last location saved to (after saving to it). But I cannot figure out how to change any of the default locations. I really feel that apple should have included a feature to allow the user to change the default save/open location on the fly.
    Does anyone have insight on this? Or a solution? I just want something, such that I can click on the PDF (opened in safari) and have it save to a folder on my HD.
    Stuff which won't work:
    -Choosing Save/ Save As from safari. This will only let me save as a web archive of the surrounding page.
    -Choosing Print, saving as a PDF. This is almost as painful, regarding time and effort. Doing this task 30+ times a day, *****.
    -A shareware app which literally costs half the price of OSX Tiger. (Default Folder X or whatever)
    about my system: I just today, reinstalled my OS and did updates (after having a 10.4.8 install issue which hosed my OS.)I have lots of free space, and the only app I have installed is Mathematica5.
    2.0 ghz macbook pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   Fresh Install
    2.0 ghz mbp   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  
    2.0 ghz mbp   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    If you option click the link to the PDF in Safari it will save the file to your default download location. If you've already opened something in Safari you can go to menu item Window, select Activity, and then option click the item that contains the file name, for instance:
    http://www.corsaire.com/white-papers/040622-securing-mac-os-x.pdf
    A double click will download the file "040622-securing-mac-os-x.pdf" to your default download folder. If you are doing this a lot you can create a Downloads folder, then in Safari's Preferences, General select your Downloads folder as the default location.
    But I too am wondering what is wrong with your setup of Safari, since when I open a PDF file in Safari and select Save as it gives the name of the file on the web site as the default name, and the last place I saved something to as the default location.

  • Saving PDFs from Preview

    When creating a PDF in Preview, that your non-Mac business associates will open in Adobe Reader, the resulting document is noted as an 8 1/2 x 11 page size (in Adobe's Document Properties), even when the original document is something else, creating print problems for those trying to print what was originally a large drawing.
    Saving the PDF was done in the Print dialog box, not the "Save As" dialog box (where other problems are created...namely, no image shows when opened in Adobe Reader).
    Any way to save a PDF in Preview and retain the original drawing size? There are several settings in Preview's Preferences affecting DPI and scale, and I have tried them all, in different combinations. None seem to affect the resulting page size, which somehow is a property known to Adobe Reader, but seems invisible to Preview.

    Are you talking about saving a C or D size dwg?
    In this case I had to create a custom size. However, I solved the problem by simply setting the correct paper size in the Preview Print dialog box, before saving as a PDF.
    Saving out of the "Save As" dialog box is still a problem. I note on the Adobe web site that a fully Leopard compliant Reader is not available until "late January". Maybe that will solve it.
    Anyway, thanks for chiming in.

  • How to generate PDF from file with linked images

    Hi,
    did anybody met/solved problem how to create PDF form file, which contains links to another files/images using PDFGenerator? For example from FrameMaker documents which contains linked images; or from CAD files which contains linked components...
    The issue is, that the CreatePDF function moves the source file into a temporary folder, and this operations "brokes" the relative links to linked/included files.

  • Saving PDF from Flash

    Just wondering if I can make a PDF file from data within my Flash application, using a native function say like the prinjob or do I have to utilise a third party application like AlivePDF. I have used printjob before to send flash files to printer but this time i want flash to make a PDF file specifically. Would love a native Flash solution for this, don't really like mucking about with third party components, plugins and API.
    Any help or assistance would be quite welcome.

    Yes it will be on a server but a very restricted .edu server so I don't think I even want to entertain the thought of using fpdf for this job.
    Right now, just explained to client to that we will be using printjob and relying on user to have PDF driver. All of the education department's computers in my state in Australia (QLD) are using a Managed Operating System (MOE) that has the PDF printer driver installed.
    Just put some good instructions on the flash app and left it at that. When I have some more time would be interseted to check out Alive PDF.
    Thanks for all your help!

  • PDFs from CS3 causing crash

    More than one case has cropped up at my office with a pdf generated by a client with CS3. (We are still using CS for our workflow due to another program we are using that isn't compatible with the new stuff yet)
    So what happens in our workflow is this:
    We place the Indesign-CS3-generated-pdf into an Indesign-CS document. When we're ready to publish we pdf that doc (or, rather, our 3rd party workflow program pdfs it into the workflow). And we get the application InDesign CS has unexpectedly quit crash. The same scenario occurs when I tested it without the 3rd party. And I've tried playing around with different settings in the pdf export presets to no avail. Any tips?

    Don't know if this will be helpful or not ...

  • Create PDF From Web Page Does Not Create Image Maps Properly

    I have a website that contains image maps. When I "Create PDF From Web Page", these image maps are not rendered properly. From what I can tell, this is a BUG within Acrobat, and I'm hoping that people can confirm this for me.
    I created a test page at http://www.quantumdynamix.net/clients/image-map-test/. I placed the images maps my manually coding the coordinate information, so the maps are PRECISELY placed exactly over the squares. Each image map navigates to an anchor corrisponding to the number on the red square.
    When I created the PDF using the "Create PDF From Web Page" feature, the image maps are rendered improperly. This file can be viewed at http://www.quantumdynamix.net/clients/image-map-test/ImageMapTest.pdf. To view the outlines of the image maps, please select "Tools" -> "Advanced Editing" -> "Link Tool". You can see the outlines are substantially incorrect.
    Please confirm that other can replicate this problem. Any solution to this issue would be very helpful!

    I tested this in Acrobat X and the exact same issue occurs
    http://www.quantumdynamix.net/clients/image-map-test/ImageMapTest-AcrobatX.pdf
    This has to be considered a legatimate bug, especially since IMAGE MAPS is listes as one of the supported HTML features via the help files
