Unwanted stroke appearing on objects in pdf

Hi
I'm having trouble with a logo I've created in an svg. file. I seem to have to finalized, but when I save it as a pdf. to take it to the printers I see parts of the logo suddenly have no stroke or stroke has been added in other parts.
I don't seem to have any hidden layers I don't think. I'm not sure if there is a setting to change in the window that gives you all the options to choose from when you're saving something as a pdf. Or is there a setting I should be activating when finalizing this logo as an svg that prevents such problems. I'm pretty new to illustrator, before this I was using inkscape which I got the feel of until i decided to go pro with illustrator.
Driving me a little crazy. I've been stuck at this stage for days trying to figure it out but no such luck.
I can't seem to be able to attact the images. Not sure why.

It's actually 3 logos I should say...
There we go. The first is the svg, and the second is the pdf as viewed in adobe reader.
Actually if I open the pdf in Illustrator I get this as well:

Unwanted fills appearing on objects that have no fill

Hi, Something has changed from CS5 to CS6 and I can't figure out what is going on.
This issue happens only when my co-worker and I share a file. We are both using the identical up to date macs with our own versions of CS6.
If he sends me a file with traced text like below when I copy the text and paste unwanted fills appear (and the art for the cutout of the inside of objects vanishes). This happens on any art with "holes" in the objects (not just traced art).
There is no fill on the inside of the letters, file has been expanded.... any ideas what might be causing this? Co-worker and I have worked together for years sending similar files back and forth, but since CS6 this has started popping up.
Thanks for any help.

TMOTX,
How are you exchanging files?
If you are saving to external media: It is always recommended here to open/save from/to own hard disk, and to copy from/to networks and removable media. You may be lucky (for a while), but the chances of file corruption and other unpleasantnesses are immensely greater when you use anything but the harddisk, and it is better to be safe than sorry.
In addition to the (far greater) risk of file corruption, some issues are mentioned here:

What happens if you transfer the files using the OS copy and paste outside Illy, or email them, maybe as zipped files?

InDesign | Mystery/unwanted form function appearing in exported Interactive PDF

I am working on a project for a client that is a large interactive PDF with navigation, built in InDesign.
On a recent version, exported PDFs on opening say "This document has form data that must be filled out" even though we have built no form function into the IDD document. When I click to "highlight fields" in the PDF, and scan all the pages, nothing is highlighted.
Does anyone know what is happening and how I might be able to track down and correct the issue?
Many thanks
Scott

For anyone arriving here with a similar problem, the solution is to export the Interactive PDF from InDesign with password security to restrict all changes on the exported PDF. This will eliminate the 'forms' message from appearing when opening the PDF.

Unwanted Anti-aliasing after export to PDF!?

Dear comunity,
First of all let me say, that i am relatively new to indesign,
this is really driving me crazy: my boss gave me the task to renew our business cards (no new layout, just different names and addresses.) So i took the indesign file my predecessor made and switched the names and contact information. The indesign file contains three back sides for three different people, every one with their own QR-code.
I made three new QR codes, deleted the old ones and brought the new ones in. (the codes were originally PNG, i put them in Photoshop and exported as PSD, since i heard, that i should use PSD files in ID instead of PNG or JPEG.)
When exported to PDF, two of these QR codes are working just fine, the third one has the following problem: On the edges of the code, thin light gray lines appear, for my untrained eye, these look just like anti-aliasing. These do only appear in the exported PDF, not in Indesign itself, and only in one of the three QR-codes, though i created and imported them all the same way.
I should probably mention, that i made the codes 50% transparent. I already did lots of research regarding that problem, and one person said, that this is a bug, which has been solved in ID CC 2014, so i updated my ID to that version, imported the corrupt PSD anew, still the same problem.
What did i do wrong with this particular PSD file? Might there be a button or something, when i have the psd selected in iD, that toggles AA on and off for that particular file??
I added two pictures. the 1st one is one of those, who don't make any problems, the second one is the one, that has the unwanted anti-aliasing (or whatever it is). I just made screenshots out of Acrobat, because this forum wouldn't let me upload The PDFs. As i said, they both come from the same ID file, exported the same way.
Thanx in advance for all your kind help.
Nigi

Thank you Willi, one more question,
You are saying, i down sampled with the wrong method. So what would be the right method? I just drag and dropped the file and placed using the placegun thingy.
Just asking for future projects, this particular problem will be solved by the internal QR-editor, i'm sure.
Boy that whole print-stuff is a whole new area for me, there's much to learn, so i am very grateful for people like you, who take their time to help a poor autodidact...
Thanks

Can I set the stroke of an object to be on top/in front and the fill on the bottom/in back?

Can I set the stroke of an object to be on top/in front and the fill on the bottom/in back? I asked this question before and was told to go to appearance and drag the fill and stroke around as if they were a layer, but this did not bring my stroke to the top of the image. Did I do this wrong somehow or is there another method?

Erin,
The default stacking order for an object with fill and stroke, such as a simple path, is that the stroke is on top and the fill is beneath it.
You may change that in the Appearance palette, but it should not be necessary.
Can you show a screenshot with the object and the Appearance palette and the Layers palette with the relevant (part of the) Layer expanded and visible?
If things are really wrong, you may start considering going down this dark road:
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

InDesign Book Project...some images/graphics not appearing in print-ready PDF

Some images/graphics not appearing in print-ready PDF. Why? and how to fix.
The images are linked.

That didn't work, but i copied images from other parts of my document that did work and pasted/resized to replace images that didn't import and that seemed to work.
still wish i could figure out why it happens in the first place so i don't have to do this other process.

Remove all the hidden objects in PDF using acrobat SDK

Tables: Controlling whether row strokes or column strokes appear on top

I was hoping I could use Table Options > Table Setup: Stroke Drawing Order to globally affect whether row strokes or column strokes appear on top of one another as well as how the gap of double lines connect. But the results are not meeting my expectations and am trying to determine if my application is buggy or my expectations are wrong.
The only thing this feature seems to affect is how row and column strokes interact with a table border. Is this indeed the intended purpose?
The only thing that does have an effect is that the most recently-edited stroke is the one that is brought forward. Is this your experience?
It also appears that the only way to force the gaps within double lines to connect is to make sure the row strokes and column strokes have the same thickness, color and tint. Is this correct?
Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Your assessment should be mitigated by how table work in other programs.
You can't do any of this in the first place in Excel. Just getting any
stroking out of the ordinary is a tedious task of avoiding what you don't
want to happen. Forget about controlling which stroke shows over what other
stroke. And have you tried working in tables in QuarkXPress? Aaaargh!!
Neither of those programs are any where near as intuitive as InDesign's
tables. Neither has the control. You can get (almost?) anything you want in
ID, that cannot be said for Excel and Quark.
I really think your only problem here is not assimilating the finer nuance
of how Table Options and Cell Options and Table Styles and Cell Styles
interact. Am I correct in the impression that you want the Table Options
Stroke Drawing Order to effect strokes that were not even formatted using
the Table Options? If true, that hardly sounds reasonable, or even a
preferable behaviour for InDesign to implement.

State objects with pdf's on indesign

I have an transition of state objects with pdf's but automatic reproduction not function in the ipad. I can see it in the Content viewer desktop. Help me!!!

While not common, what you describe is no unusual either. I can tell you that the person who created the PDF almost certainly used Adobe's products. It is Adobe that is not compatible with all of the other PDF implementations. I encourage you to submit a bug report to Apple and include a copy of the PDF. There was a "bug" in Apple's PDF rendering software in version 10.6.7 for which Apple released a fix fairly quickly. I say "bug" in quotes because the PDF was perfectly valid according to all published standards. All PDF viewing programs on either Mac or Windows could read the PDF - except Adobe.
Ultimately, PDF is a print technology and will fall by the technology wayside pretty soon.

Unwanted popups appear while printing from a VS CR page

I am a new employee with 3 years experience in .Net, only small experience in framework, and no experience in Crystal Reports.
We are trying to upgrade our production box to a 2008 64 bit server. My boss has almost everything working, accept for printing is giving us grief. It is setup to print a report in a web page with a printing icon we display. It eventually prints, but a horrible little popup is displaying. The header lines says "Print, and the body of the popup says "Crystal Reports Print Control". There is a "cancel" button that is greyed out, and that it it.
The actual "Print Setup" pops up too, but we want that one to show. It goes directly to my default printer.
Once I say that I want to print, that same popup changes what it says. It then says "Retrieving page 1 of 2", etc. It goes pretty fast. I can't read it all. Once all the pages are printed, another unwanted popup appears.
It says "Server Error" as the heading, "An error occured on the server. Printing will be stopped. Would you like to view the error information?" as the message, and a "yes" or "no" button to choose from.
I have tried selecting both. When I says yes, a browser opens a file called "PrintControlError.html" that is completely blank.

The production box is the only 2008 64 bit that we have, and it is the only computer that we are having an issue on.
5) If on the runtime server only, how was the CR runtime deployed? I see CR Reports 2008 runtine is installed?
I'm not sure how CR was deployed, because the only 2 other developers to tough this are gone.
6) Are you using default app pool, or custom app pool?
Don't know how to answer this question.
7) Are you running the app pool as 32 or 64 bit?
Don't know how to answer this question either.

2D animation. Motion path+Appearing/Dissappearing Object

Hey everyone, Looking for a simple (Flash is very complex-Power Point is too simple to do what i want) 2D animation software with Motion Path and "Appearing/Disappearing" objects. I have been looking for something that is actually easy to use but everything i find has a learning curve the size of titanic... I'm new to the subject (2d animation) and had no idea where to ask for help :/
- I made a GIF showing something similar to what i want, it's a very simple GIF but should give you an idea of what i want to make.
After watching i hope you will also understand why i am not happy about having to learn how to use something like Adobe EE or Flash.
http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=39aic&s=8#.VPTr-PmG-PY
Thanks!

Are you asking for help in learning AE or are you asking for an alternative animation tool?
If you want to learn AE, it's pretty complex, but not impossible. I'd go through these resources first: Getting started with After Effects

Unwanted links appearing in PDF document

This is a continuation of a question I posted on the Indesign forum http://forums.adobe.com/message/4266495#4266495
I have a document that was created in InDesign 3 and I am currently using InDesign CS5.5. When the document is printed to Adobe PDF I end up with random text that shows as a link. For instance if I hover my cursor over a table in question, the cursor changes to a hand and a box pops up displaying all of the information on the page as a web address. How do I correct this?
I have attempted to remove all hidden data in Adobe Acrobat Pro but this renders the document unsearchable. When I then run OCR the mysteries links reappear.
here is a screen capture of the issue

I am not sure that I am following your advice. The problem is i receive random links which appear on certain pages. the example above happens when I hover anywhere in the table. This particular page does have legitimate web links but when selected they also display incorrect info. I have attempted the following actions with no success: "Remove Hidden Data", "Sanitize Document", "Remove All Links" and various actions using the action wizard (publish sensitive document, create accessible PDF's).
If I add a link like you suggest then yes the link does work correctly but I have to wipe the entire document which in turn leaves the document un searchable.

How do I slice an object in half without a stroke appearing where I sliced it?

I want to be able to draw an object that has a stroke and a fill, and then slice a line through the object so I can give it two separate fills. This is effectively what I'm trying to do: http://imgur.com/Obqwg
What is the easiest, most efficient way to do this? Right now I have two fill-only objects (the top color object and bottom color object) framed by another stroke-only object on top. The method I'm using makes it very difficult to edit the shape later since I'm now dealing with three separate parts.

This is actually possible below is a rectangle with one stroke two fills on of the fils has a tranfsform effect scaling it vertically and and moving it downward
then I made a Envelope Distort with mesh giving it 2 columns and 12 rows so that I only had to work with some of the rows that were positioned where I want to create the bend or wave.
I could do avideo if the OP cannot figure it out.

Hairline white gap appearing between objects

Hi,
I've constructed a logo that consists of several shapes that but up against each other. The sides that touch one another are completely flat. When I zoom in, the objects are touching, if not overlapping in some cases. This is okay as it is very small.
However when I save it as a pdf document to sent to a client, those thin lines between the shapes appear much more pronounced. It looks as if I have intentionally put a .5 stroke line between each object. Why does this occur and is there a way to fix this problem?

Bayne,
It sounds as if it is a PDF rendering issue.
What happens if you zoom into the PDF?
And how is it when you print the PDF?
