Underline breaks up after saving as pdf

Hi everyone,
I'm creating a form in Illustrator CS4 and I've put in some right aligned tabs and then selected the tabs and underlined them using the underline option in the Characters panel. When I save as a pdf though, the underline all breaks up into small dots, ie. it doesn't keep it as solid line.
Does anyone know why this happens or if there's a workaround?
Appreciate any help.

I had the same problem. I had a three layer .ai file where I had a web address underlined, and when printed (or viewed as a .pdf) the underline appeared as dashed lines. I think it is some sort of corruption in the partiuclar .ai/.pdf file.
I underlined some Helvetica text in CS4 (14.0.0).
The .ai/.pdf file both look fine in Illustrator.
Viewing in Illustrator 14.0.0 shows a solid line but prints as dashes.
Viewing in Acrobat standard 7.1.4 shows a dashed line and prints as dashes
I tried various pasting options to a new document, and after several trys for some reason it started printing and viewing as a solid line.

Hi indi68632954,
I can understand your concern & you need to worry about this, as your PC folders won't be available on other PC's as this option is just to browse through the files of the specific system on which you are working as shown in the screenshot below.
Only the files uploaded on the Document cloud will be available over Internet using Adobe Document Cloud service upon the authentication of your Adobe ID & password.
I hope this will answer your query.
In case if you have any further query please let us know, we will be happy to assist you.

After saving a pdf as Excel workbook the numbers remain text and cannot be used in calculations. Is there a better way to convert into real digital numbers?

I have tried to convert the pdf to Word instead but same difficulty with numbers: look like numbers but not usable for calculations

Excel has a 'text to numbers' function, I would use that.
Convert text to numbers. Microsoft Excel.

Cannot delete pages after saving a PDF in X Pro

I am on Windows 7 and Adobe Acrobat XPro. Every time I try to delete pages in any PDF after saving I get the error message "one or more pages are in use and could not be deleted". the work around is to close the file and then reopen. Then you can delete the pages. It is annoying to have to shut and reopen the file everytime after making a change. Is there a fix to this?

Have you tried Help > Check for updates (in Acrobat)?
That very annoying problem is fixed in XI. I seem to recall it could be fixed by updating X, but I could be mistaken. Please report back.

After saving a PDF with a Spot UV layer, all of the highlights and detail under the spot color are flattened in Overprint Preview. What am I missing here?

I'm attempting to print some business cards with a Spot UV coating. I have a layer above the artwork with a spot color (set to green per the printer's request). Underneath is a logo, essentially a red circle with some highlights and depth. My issue is that, after exporting a PDF, all of the highlights and detail on the red circle disappear in Overprint Preview (it's there when I hide the Spot UV layer, but missing when I hide the Spot Color). What can I do to retain that information?
Thanks!

Let me know if you need different screen grabs. Thanks in advance.

Dimmed images are not dimmed after saved as PDF.. please help!

Hi,
After dimming multiple images in AI, they are dimmed in the program but once i preview the pdf I saved of the .ai file, the images are not dimmed. What am i missing?
Thanks!

Dim is an Illustrator layer options attribute, that does not tranfer over to the .pdf. You will have to either group all in the layer and set transparency to you dim percentage, or draw a white rectangle and fill that with a percentage of white.

Cannot view notes made on sticky notes after saving the pdf file. Any idea on how to fix this?

After listening to a 3 hour recording of a lecture, i finally finished typing my notes. I saved the file the same way as usual and now when i click on the sticky note nothing happens. I click on the comments sections and it says no comments have been made. Anyone know how to get all the info back?

Remove button from pdf after saving

Hello, in my PDF form, I have a button. This button has the following script that I got via this forum, great!
for (var i=0; i<this.numFields; i++) {
    var f = this.getField(this.getNthFieldName(i));
    if (f==null) continue;
    f.readonly = true;
app.execMenuItem("SaveAs")
So what it actually does, is to make all form fields "non editable"and show a save as button after that so users can save the filled in PDF.
But since after saving the PDF is read only, how can I make it in this way that the "button save as" with the script above, is not showing anymore in the generated PDF. This is a read only PDF now, so this button is no longer of use to show and also not to print.
How do I do this in acrobat pro.
Thank you all!

Add this at the end of the code:
event.target.display = display.hidden;

Large file when saving as PDF

If I save a text doc with graphics as PDF, the resultant file size is huge, even when the original graphic is very small. For example, if I paste in a graphic of only a few 100k, after saving to PDF the document can exapnd to several Mb! Saving exactly the same doc from Word or Ragtime does NOT do this, the file ends up being more or less the size of the graphic plus a bit for the text. Is there any way to prevent this? I HATE have to use Word!
Thanx,
Paul

I'm not running 10.3, but if I remember correctly you Select "Print" then choose "ColorSync" where it says "Copies & Pages" then Choose "Reduce File Size" from the "Quartz filter" options.

PDF won't open in Acrobat after Saving in illustrator

Hi I am currently working on my final architecture project and am having issues with opening a PDF in acrobat after editing and saving in Illustrator.
I am creating an architecture document in autocad which I then export to PDF to be edited in Illustrator. It opens fine in illustrator, however once I have edited and saved in illustrator I am unable to open in acrobat and the program just crashes.
After editing in illustrator the file size increases fairly substantially, but I am able to open larger PDF files no problem if they have no been edited in Illustrator.
Any help would be great. Let me know if any further information would help?
Thanks!

Hi Graffiti,
I have posted it in the windows one as I am using Autocad in windows to create the origional PDF. However this has not caused any problems until now.
In answer to your other questions I have used 'save' and 'save as' and tried saving under new file names.
I have been saving the PDF rather than using the PDF printer.
Let me know if any other info would help.

Bug Report: "View PDF After Saving" Does Not Work When Saving as Photoshop PDF

The saved PDF file is not opening in Acrobat after saving a file as a Photoshop PDF. I noticed it happening a few times in earlier beta testing, but today it happened again.
I have Adobe Acrobat Pro 10.1.2 installed on MacPro with Lion OS 10.7.3. Photoshop public beta m415. System info can be provided if needed.
The file I was trying to save was about 8 MB. Once it failed to open after save, I tried varied PDF settings and save locations. Also tried several different files. All were saved properly as PDF files, but would not continue to open in Acrobat as previous versions have done. The files open properly when you click on the file names in saved location.

I'm happy I could help and feel a bit proud to have found a real bug. The simplest work around is just clicking on the file list once it's done...that's certainly not a problem.

Why is my search 1000% slower after re-saving a PDF? (Acrobat 9 Pro Extended)

I purchased and downloaded the PDF version of "Javascript: the Definitive Guide" (Flanagan, David, O'Reilly Press, 5th Ed., 2006).
When I first started using the PDF, searches would yield results instantaneously. After making some notations and highlighting some text, I saved the PDF.
Now searches are ridiculously slow.
Luckily, I had a backup copy of the PDF in another folder. I re-opened the original and tried my save again: voila! Same instananeous results.
I thought maybe there had been an embedded index in the PDF, and that re-saving the PDF somehow corrupted or removed it. However, in the original version of the PDF, I can't find anything that indicates why searching is so much faster.
Any ideas?

Also, look at your Search preferences. For example, try Ctrl + K > Search > Fast Find

Can't search for words anymore after saving PDFs in Preview

Hi everyone,
I would love to use Preview for my day-to-day use of previewing PDFs + highlighting + setting annotations. However, once I have saved the pdf with Preview I can not search for words anymore. If I search for one letter only, I would get cryptic hits like "7;%! 2%8%P%8!".
I am not sure, but I guess when preview saves the pdf using a Quartz PDF context, something happens with the index, or the underlying the font structuring.
Does anyone have had experience with these kinds of troubles?
Thanks in advance,
Heinrich

Hi, thanks for answering quickly, and the heads up on that other thread.
It undoubtedly has to do with the annotations or mark ups (the last, in my case).
In the linked-to thread they end by suggesting that it's because it's has "commenting not allowed" when you see it
using Adobe Reader, File > Properties > Security says Commenting: Not Allowed.
However, some documents with "commenting not allowed set in Adobe Reader I can highlight or annotate fine, without it messing up after saving.
Besides, any document I save as pdf even from Word, will say commenting not allowed in Adobe Reader. So if even my own documents are not highlight- or annotate-able without garbling the text, what documents would these functions be for, then?
I think what somebody mentioned in the other thread about character encodings hold some truth, I see it in documents in Danish with æ ø and å (however, not all!), but not in English-only docs (yet. Have any of you?).
Thanks in advance,
- Alexander
