SVG is being resized when saved from Illustrator CC

Hello All!
I am encountering an issue that has arose since the latest update for Illustrator CC (64-bit). When I come to save a file as an SVG (from my original AI file) the artboard's proportions change, and the size of the SVG changes. I am using Windows 7.
Any suggestions as to what's going wrong would be welcome!
Thanks!

Hi rcbmoose
Yes, I too am saving out from an original AI file.
I've located the issue within the SVG code.
The file should be defaulted to 30x30px, but when the SVG is opened, the image fills the parent space. Here's the SVG code for the problem file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd">
<svg version="1.1" id="Main_Window" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" x="0px" y="0px" viewBox="0 0 30 30" enable-background="new 0 0 30 30" xml:space="preserve">
<rect fill-rule="evenodd" clip-rule="evenodd" fill="#E8E8E8" width="30" height="30"/>
<path id="tst_x5F_eml_x5F_scss_x5F_win" fill-rule="evenodd" clip-rule="evenodd" fill="#3D3D3D" d="M26,9.625L15.261,20.375l0,0 l-2.759,2.762l-2.759-2.762l0,0L4,14.627l2.759-2.762l5.742,5.748L23.241,6.864L26,9.625z"/>
</svg>
I've found a temporary work around. Here's the file sized correcly:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd">
<svg version="1.1" id="Main_Window" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" x="0px" y="0px" width="30" height="30" viewBox="0 0 30 30" enable-background="new 0 0 30 30" xml:space="preserve">
<rect fill-rule="evenodd" clip-rule="evenodd" fill="#E8E8E8" width="30" height="30"/>
<path id="tst_x5F_eml_x5F_scss_x5F_win" fill-rule="evenodd" clip-rule="evenodd" fill="#3D3D3D" d="M26,9.625L15.261,20.375l0,0 l-2.759,2.762l-2.759-2.762l0,0L4,14.627l2.759-2.762l5.742,5.748L23.241,6.864L26,9.625z"/>
</svg>
The width and height values are missing from the first svg tag (highlighted in code above). You can save your SVG file, and then add these values into the tag yourself via a text editor (i.e. Notepad if you're using windows, or the equivalent on MAC)
This works, but it's not right that we have to do this. This wasn't nessessary before the latest update.
Hope this helps.

Colors are appearing washed out when saving from Illustrator to PDF

Hey Guys,
I am working on a cover page for my office to go along with our bid packages. I have finished adding all of the elements that they wanted and added a little flare to it. Its a really basic document and when I save it into a PDF form, the colors appear washed out or like the PDF adds a lot of white. the Rich black appear gray, the red appears pinkish... and the blue is much lighter than it looks in AI.
I need this to be completed soon, and I have been having this problem for a while now. Im not sure if its just the way it looks on the screen, or if it will print like that. I am a self taught Adobe guy.. So I am a little confused as to how to make this all work
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
Steve

Steve,
What the PDF ultimately looks like depends on the settings when you create it. If you open it in Reader, it may be somewhat off, but in Acrobat it should look right (if your colour management settings are the same as in Illy).
A rich black may be customized to match the artwork in question (such as no C if there is no C in the artwork), or you may have some of each, often with emphasis on C and maybe M; there may be different views on what a rich black should hold.

When saving my illustrator file to a pdf it doesnt show all the artwork ie boxes are hidden in the pdf or only showing part of them. How can I fix this?

when saving my illustrator file to a pdf it doesnt show all the artwork ie boxes are hidden in the pdf or only showing part of them. Even some text is hidden. I have flattened the artwork so everything is in one layer. How can I fix this?

Hi John
I have indicated on the attached jpeg where the problem is, basically a line of text is missing at the top and part of the feeding diagram is missing. I created the artwork in different layer and then flattened. All text has been converted to outlines, however the areas being affected have no transparency, I have used solid fills or no fills. I get the same result when I export the file as a jpeg. Hope you can help.

When saving from the print menu to PDF to iBooks, it saves it as unnamed document.

When saving from the print menu to PDF to iBooks, it saves it as unnamed document.
Would like to be able to give it a name before saving it, or at least have a rename function in iBooks.
Can use Preview and rename it in Downloads and then move it to iBooks. Very cumbersome.
Thanks.

Fuzzy Logo/Artwork when saved in Illustrator CS6

Is anyone else experiencing an issue when saving artwork in Illustrator on newer Macs?
I have spent the past 3 hours trying to figure out the issue. I have Saved to Web, Exported. I have tried png and gif files. The original file is fine, but when I go to resize it to fit my web and blog formats, it pixelates it and it looks terrible.
Please help!

allyandtuck,
Always create the raster image at the exact size(s) in pixels by pixels that it is going to be used at.
You will always have fuzzy/jagged images when you resize (apart from halving the size and similar reductions).
The safest way is Save for Web where you can set the Image Size. That window is also where you tick Art/Type Optimzed.
You should find out the right size for each website.
It may be noted that some websites have some strange conversion/resizing which destroys any quality you have obtained, whatever you do. That also applies to the Profile Images here in these forums.

Strange lines when exporting from Illustrator

I am having an issue that's driving me crazy, I've tried everything and I still can't figure out why it's doing this.
I created a template in Illustrator, very basic, just some 1 inch circles.   The goal is to color them in different color palettes and then save it as a PDF.   In Illustrator, they show up completely fine, the pattern fills sometimes have those little seam lines but those don't show up at 100% so I'm not worried about that.
My issue is that when I bring these graphics into Photoshop, these little white lines appear in random places,   these are not pattern seam lines and there's no reason I can think of for them to be there. I figured it may have been a corrupt file, so I started from scratch and the lines are still there. I've tried copying it directly from Illustrator and pasting it into Photoshop, same issue. Saving as a TIFF, same issue.
Here's an example of the line I'm talking about, it's faint but noticeable on my screen,   any idea what might be causing this?
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v648/hazelsmrf/line.jpg
The only thing I can think of is that when I turn off all pattern fills and only use solid color fills, these lines don't show up. I'm not sure why a pattern fill on a circle two circles away would cause a line to show up on a solid colored circle that's completely unrelated to the pattern fill though.   I am using CS5.

My Illustrator is fully up to date so that doesn't seem to be the issue.
I loaded the PDF into Acrobat reader and those lines don't show up there, they only show up in Photoshop, strange?
How I've brought it into Photoshop: save as, PDF, or Tiff, these didn't work.
Copied it directly from AI into PS, did not work.
Saved as .AI and loaded that into PS, did not work.
I just tried it as PSD and it worked! However I've not been able to duplicate that because every time I've tried to export it to PSD since then it says I don't have enough memory, argh.   Not sure why it worked the first time and not after.
Oh and the pattern fills were created with a blank no fill square on the bottom, then a color filled square on top, and then a few circles in a diagonal to make a polka dot pattern. Nothing goes past the square, there's nothing in outline mode to show why it would do this.

Mysterious lines and gradient when printing from Illustrator or pdf on PC and MAC

First of all I have to admit I'm not a big computer brainiac but this issue keeps on reoccurring no matter what computer I use. When creating files/layouts in Illustrator and either saving them to pdf and then printing or printing directly from Illustrator either from a PC or from Mac (I use both) the print outs come out with mysterious lines and gradient not matter what colour is used. The lines occur on solid colour prints, when gradient or transparency are not used and when they are used as well. Any ideas suggestions how to make them go away?

Monica,
Here's an image of a print out that was meant to be a solid black colour. This happens with other colours as well not just with black.

Images Issue when saving an illustrator file as pdf

Hi,
I have been suffering these couple of days with the pdfs I save from my illustrator CS5 multi page file. It is a brochure that I designed using many images that I adjusted in Photoshop to CMYK & 300 dpi & embedded in ai. I used some drop shadows for some images & have some transparent vectors & gradient fills in the pages.
The pdfs I save open very normally on my pc, but the issues appear for the client. He gets some images missing in some pages (the ones that got the gradient transparency). The pages also tend not to load completely & stay blurred. He also got the “drawing error” message.
I tried to make sure all color modes are the same_ used the US web coated SWOP (default)
He still gets missing images!
The same file I sent to a friend of mine, it opened normally! but informed me that Adobe considers the file with “special features”.
I had to export the pages to jepgs so that he gets to see the design.
I tried to flatten the gradient transparent vectors but also used the downsampling for the images when saving the pdf & used the “Zip” for compression to reduce the size… what did he get??? no images at all in all the pages.
I started seeing pdf nighmares last night :S really.
Please help :’(
Thanks

We all have Acrobat Professional reader 7.0.
I guess he has Windows but tried to open the file from his ipad too.

Washed out graphics when pasting from Illustrator

Has any one else seen this?
When I paste graphics from Illustrator CS3, whether they are bitmap or vector, they look washed out in Pages - almost like there's a slight transparency.

the .png is the best file format that Pages uses.
To interchange artwork with Adobe applications, the clipboard is technically not the correct workflow. Between Adobe applications, use the clipboard to interchange artwork. Between Adobe applications and non-Adobe applications, use the normal file export functions of Adobe applications and file import functions of the system supported in non-Adobe applications.
Colour managed and resolution independent artwork in Adobe Illustrator should be saved to disk in Adobe PDF using Adobe Illustrator's save function. The saved PDF should then be placed into Apple Pages. This way the appearance in Adobe Illustrator and the appearance in Apple Pages should be identical, or else there is a bug in the system PDF support.
The difference you are seeing is due to a difference in colour management settings between Adobe Illustrator that uses internal settings and Apple Pages that uses system settings. When you interchange over the clipboard, you are interchange vector objects and raster objects with colourant values in percentages, but you are not interchanging information about the colours those colourants should form. When you save out PDF from Adobe Illustrator, the mapping of colours to the colours they should form is embedded into the PDF as ICCBased colour specifications. The PDF is now self-contained and independent of the colour management settings in the application where it was originally created.
When you try to compensate for changes in saturation, hue or lightness that occurs in an object interchanged via the clipboard, you are trying to do manually what the colour management system should do automatically, provided the ICC profiles and the rendering intents related to them are known to the importing application, in this case Apple Pages.

Blurry Images When Saved In Illustrator CC

Hi,
I've been trying to figure this out for weeks, but can't figure it out. I'm trying to create a new logo and now that I've created it, I try to save it and once saved, It looks very blurry/fuzzy. But in illustrator it looks excellent! It's just in the saved copy that looks horrible. I'm new to using Illustrator, and still in the process of learning, I know it's probably something simple to my problem however I've read every forum related on the internet and even on here and all the solutions that have helped others don't work for me... I'm just metally drained and don't know to do, Any help to solve this problem would be helpful.
-Illustrator CC
-Macbook Pro Retina -late 2013
If there's anything else that you would like to know please let me know. I've tried every possible format just about for the logo to be saved as. Even in the browser preview mode in save for web, it looks horrible. I'm needing this logo to be saved as jpeg, png, or something relative.
Thanks in advance!
-Michael

It isn't really something that requires a 'fix' as such - sadly the number of people with Retina displays is still quite small and most of the time devices use some clever upsampling jiggery-pokery that makes the graphics look better.
I have another question for you, now - when you are exporting your image file from Illustrator, are you changing the anti-aliasing settings to Art Optimised? If this is all news to you, are you using the Export for Microsoft Office option? Or Save For Web?
Sorry to have to ask but it helps in helping you.

Groupings are lost when saving between Illustrator CS5.1 and CS6

A PDF that was created with Illustrator CS5.1 is opened in CS6 and then saved. When this said PDF is opened again in CS5.1 all groupings are lost. Any way of preserving this when saving?

When you convert from .ai format to .pdf, that is where your groupings are changing. You could turn on preserve illustrator editing capability to preserve layers, but you want to look at your worklflow. You should be saving as .ai file whenever you can, and only to .pdf as a final copy for distribtuion to someone who does not illustrator.

ACL's disappear when saving from Word

I've got a strange problem. When I drag files from the finder to different folders on a share, acl's are being propagated. But when I open a Word file on the server, save it to the server, acl's are being stripped from the file.
The share is hosted on a Xsan reshare.
Any ideas?
Patrick

It's kinda working....I have some folders wehere different people can work with different rights. Now a user who normaly has read only read rights to a specific folder, has all the rights to files saved from Word. Finder copies are respected by the acl's. I tried Textedit, and Textedit has the same issue as Word!
This is really weird...Somebody?

Need to see ALL files in folder when saving from Word 2003 OR Word 2013 program

Here is the issue.... A customer of mine has the need to save files in order (Communications with customers by date and time)
BUT..... when saving the file word does not let him see ALL the documents (.doc AND .docx) in the save dialog. (I know we could convert but there seems to be issues with the conversion, at least on the research I have done)
Is there a way for the Word save dialog box to display ALL the files in the selected folder? OR is this just an undocumented feature OR a WOW we never thought of that....
Thanks!
John
John Huber

Hi,
When we save a Word document, the "Save As" dialog only displays these files which are the same type as the one we are trying to save. To display other types of files, select from the "Save as type" box, but I haven't realized there's a way to show
all types of files when saving. This is just how it works so far.
Thanks,

Why do colors slightly change when copying from Illustrator to Photoshop?

I want to copy a object from Illustrator and paste it into a Photoshop document with the same color mode and profile.
When I use the Eyedropper Tool on the pasted object in Photoshop the color seems to be slightly off.
Both the Illustrator and the Photoshop document have their Color Mode set to RGB
Both Applications are using synchronized color settings.
This also happens when the object is dragged or Placed. It does not happen when copying from Photoshop to Illustrator.
Could there be a problem with my color management settings? What actually happens to the color information, when it is copied from one application to another?
Thanks for any help.

Why the heck are people still using these nonsensical hexadecimal HTML numbers?
Since some decades we got used to describe RGB values by decimal numbers 0...255.
Both your value sets are practically the same, but how they were converted from one
to the other, that requires an investigation, how Adobe workflows are distributed
between California and Bangalore.

Do photos get resized when sending from PSE 6 to PE 4?

Do photos get resized when moving them from PSE 6 to PE4?
I've come to understand that using overly large photos in slide shows in PE 4 can cause lots of issues, and its recommended to resize photos to 1000x750 (http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3bb8822c) before including them in a slide show in PE4. I'm trying to understand the implications of working with photos in PSE 6 and then moving to PE 4 vs. just doing it directly in PE 4.
I can imagine (at least) two scenarios:
1. I have all my photos in PE6 and want to work ONLY in PE4. I'm guessing i would resize my photos in the PSE 6 Organizer by using File-->Export and picking a smaller file size (e.g., 1024 x 768) and then import them into PE4 and build my slide show there.
2. I have all my photos in PSE 6 and want to to create a slide show there and then move it to PE 4 to touch it up or do some fancy stuff to it. Will the photos be resized so PE 4 won't have trouble with them or do i need to resize them in PSE 6, reimport them into PSE 6, build the slide show, and THEN send it to PE 4?

eric,
See my post over at http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b85fd0/4
for reasons why I think that for your current objectives, working in Premiere Elements (rather than making a slide show in PSE) will be a better choice.
>1. I have all my photos in PE6 and want to work ONLY in PE4. I'm guessing i would resize my photos in the PSE 6 Organizer by using File-->Export and picking a smaller file size (e.g., 1024 x 768) and then import them into PE4 and build my slide show there.
Yes.
A couple of considerations
1- Where will you establish the sequence of the photos in the slide show?
Are you making an Album in PSE 6 in order to establish the sequence of the slides as you are selecting which photos to use? if YES, we can experiment with sending the photo files in their Album sequence to Premiere Elements.
Or will you establish the sequence of the photos within Premiere Elements?
2- When working in Premiere Elements will you be able to do the 600 slides in a single PE project?
I don't know the answer to this: it will be influenced by your system configuration.
