White lines and missing colour in extruded text

hello, i know this question has be asked many time but i havent found a solution as yet. I am usinf Cs5
I am finding these white lines in t he 3d part of the text and missing colour in the text itself. This occurs when viewing in illustator itself and when saved as pdf and jpg.
I have noticed a solution has been to flatten the image or rastarize it. This does not give me the quality i want, and to me defeats the purpose of doing something in illustror cancels out the ability to resize.
I need a solution ASAP as client needs their logo

         Hi Frank.
         I have just had jb Atlanta's problem while adjusting the contrast on a photo. I was creating a slideshow at the time. After a lot of reading up I was about to give up when I tried restoring the file to its original settings as you suggested. Bingo!
         However, that would only work for me, if I restored the settings while in the slideshow. All data had 'disappeared' when I attempted to open the photo in its original project folder.
         Hope this is of help. Many thanks.

  • Good workflow to avoid white lines and discolored boxes with transperancy?

    I'm somewhat new to Illustrator.  I have designs in illustrator CS4 that contain objects with drop shadows that are on top of gradient backgrounds.  When I save out the artwork as a PDF file I see random faint white lines and discolored boxes around the objects with the drop shadows.  When I print proofs of the file on my HP3500 color laser printer I see the white lines and discolored boxes as well.  I'm afraid the the lines will show up in production when I send off to the printer. Here's what I'm doing.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    (Document Raster Effects Settings: Resolution-High 300ppi/Background: Transperant/Options: preserve spot colors, add 12.7mm around object)
    1. Save file as PDF from Illustrator CS4
    2. PDF Settings
         a. PDF Preset: PDF /xa:2001
         b. Advanced Overprint and Transperancy flatener options: Preset-High Resolution
    When viewed and printed from Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro there are white stiching lines that are visible.
    Do I need to worry about these? Or will they go away when sent to a better printer?
    Thanks for the help.

    Try "Press Quality" Acrobat 5 compatable setting for "live" transparency.  You can also try PDF/X-4 2008 which maintains live transparency and, in CS4, maintain Acrobat 5 compatability.  PDF-X1 is a setting that "flattens" transparency which may limit your output options, depending on final output device.  Double check your raster settings and make sure it is set for 300ppi/2400dpi and not 72ppi/300dpi.  As suggested by Wade, your printer may not be a Postscript Level 3 output device with a RIP.  So, the driver may not be screening the artwork properly and the stitching shows up in output.  You may benefit from taking the file to a prepress shop and have them output a "contract" proof.  If the stitching shows up in the contract proof, then the PDF setup may be the problem or the original file itself.

  • Unwanted white lines and boxes in PDFs viewed on ios

    hello - i have been having some serious issues with creating pdfs for mac users.
    on windows they look great - no matter what settings i use - however i have been getting feedback that on a mac there are verticle lines or thin white boxes around text within tables.
    no matter what settings i try i simply cannot get the pdfs to look like they do on windows machines. i cant understand why they would look different!
    i am using word 2010 and acrobat 9 pro.
    i have tried toggling 'smooth images' - ensurting i have no cropped images on the page - i have tried just about everything.
    if i print to PDF - the vertical lines appear. if i 'save as' PDF the vertical lines are not visible, however the white boxes appear around text. i cant win!
    i would appreciate any assistance. if i cant get this to work i will lose this client.
    thank you.

    hello,
    thanks for your response. i have uploaded two versions:
    Print to PDF
    Save as PDF
    Print to PDF is when i print to PDF from Word. this results in the horizontal white lines as seen from page 2 onwards.
    Save as is when i save as PDF from Word. this results in the boxes around text within the tables.
    please note that my customer will not accept the fact that they use use preview as an excuse. they view many PDFs a day without these problems - in fact they can create their own PDFs from Word and they do not have these lines.
    additionally, i have an iphone, and if you view these PDFs on iphone, you can see the lines. unfortunately many of their clients use iphones. so i really need to be able to create these PDFs without these lines.
    i appreciate any help you can provide.
    thank you.
    Mark.

  • My ipod 5 has white lines and it doesnt want to slide, what should i do?

    My ipod 5 hs white horizontal lines and I doesn't want to slide, what should I do?

    Hi Ted,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    Take a look at the article linked below, it provides tips that should help you resolve the display issue that you described.
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2771
    Display image issues
    This can include bright or dark pixels, lines in video, or sections of video missing.
    Try turning the iPod touch off and then on again.
    View different content to verify that the issue is not content related.
    If the image is too dark, adjust the brightness. In General Settings choose Brightness and slide the slider.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.
    Cheers!

  • When I turn on my iPod Touch 5th generation, half of the screen has vertical white lines and it is irresponsive to the touch... is there anyway this can be fixed because this is my third time in the last 4 months I have had problems with Apple.

    The screen looks completely normal besides the vertical white lines on the right hand side of the screen, as the "slide to unlock" is lighting up and the time and date are changing, but the screen is unresponsive. After several problems with Apple in the last few months (and two defective iPods including this one and one iPhone), I really don't want to go through the whole process of bringing it in or getting a new one entirely. It would greatly help if someone knows a solution, even if that would require completely resetting the iPod to factory settings, as I have had is synced to iTunes before. It would be greatly appreciated if someone could help. Thanks.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes      
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem. Seems like a bad digitizer or connection or logic board.

  • No matter what website I am on all of a sudden the page will be covered in black and white lines and I can't see any of the page. What is happening and how do I fix it? It has only started since I loaded Firefox 4 this week.

    I am very frustrated because I keep having my pages become covered completely in black and white lines. It has even happened on this page when I tried to use the drop down arrow by 'this happened'. I can sometimes read the page if I click over the area I want to read but this is not common. This has only been happening since I downloaded Firefox 4. I thought this would be a better version but now I am not so sure.

    I do not want to download another virus program.. I do not believe it is a virus. I am running the full version of Norton 360 and it is doing a daily scan. I have Windows 7, 64 bit OS.
    This is very irritating !! If I wanted Yahoo I would ask for it !

  • Adding new line and sapaces in between the text in AI Script

    areaText.contents = "This is an Area Text in a rectangle. See how it flows to the next line.";
    i want to break the sentance from 'Text' ie i want to add new line in between and also some more spaces can any one plz help
    for example
    I want to write the above text like this way
    this is an Area
    Text in a rectangle.   See
        how it       flows to the
    next line  

    that's a much better explanation, you didn't have to create another thread, you could have replied to my reply in the original thread.
    we use the "\r" character to insert a new line and we can use "\t" to insert a "tab" for the spaces, or the actual spaces in a variable
    var sixSpaces = "      ";
    areaText.contents = "This is an Area\rText in a rectangle." + sixSpaces + "See\r" + sixSpaces + "how it" + sixSpaces + "flows to the\rnext line.";

  • Is there a way to get rid of those "red lines and boxes" that surround email text?

    The red lines and boxes I refer to in the question do not cause any real problems, but editing email, cut and pasting, etc., can get a little complicated with them appearing in the text of an email. I couldn't see any setup or option that referred to these red lines and boxes. Can they be eliminated? Thanks!

    You are seeing combing arifacts due to the computer monitor's inability to display interlaced video correctly.
    This is particularly noticable when the Canvas is set to a size value other than 100%.
    If the end product is meant to be put back on DVD and shown on a TV it will not be an issue, if you are going to the web, change your field dominance to none in the Sequence settings before exporting (or in Compressor, which will do a better job).
    Don't change it while editing - this will mean you have to constantly render.

    You will need to take it into your nearest Apple Store for screen replacement it the home button will not work. If at all possible, connect it to your PC and back it up first.

  • Firefox not loading correctly, getting black and white lines and boxes onother network comp. it loads ok

    Firefox loaded on laptop along with another computer on home comutor - on mine when firefox is selected it loads with black lines and boxes along with all titles it will allow me to use the programme. When I load the same programme on second computer it loads correctly.
    This has only occurred this week.
    does the resolution setting affect this?

    Again, my original post specifically asks what else I can check for in prefs.js. I don't know what to look for. I suspect that something has hung-around somewhere, but don't know what to look for in the prefs file to detect it. No malware or anti-virus software detects anything other than the prefs.js file itself. Safe mode fixes the problem. So obviously something is starting up with FF in normal mode which is causing this, but no clue where/what to look for at this point.

  • Display issue - horizontal white lines and vertical multicoloured lines.... UNRELATED: constant "update available" icon?

    Hi, my Curve 9300 on the OS 6.0 system has vertical and horizontal lines accross the display, with more appearing every day...   started and the top and left areas of the screen and seem to be slowly migrating & multiplying.
    I tried first turning the phone off and back on again.  Then the battery pull reset.  Now I've tried downloading the OS update direct from the blackberry site and reloading it....   all to no avail.
    Everything is functional, but lines accross the screen are constant.  Since my phone is past warranty anyway, I would like to open it and check the screen connection, but I do not have a torx driver that small to fit the little screw in the back....  Is there anything else I can try, or an easy enough way to remove that screw without having to buy a stupid screwdriver that I will likely never use again...?
    One other thing I've been meaning to find out about...   Despite attempting to update multiple times through the Blackberry Desktop Software, and even now after downloading the update direct from the Blackberry site, my phone continues to display the "update available" icon (with the star in a red circle on a BB outline), and indicates an update required for BB OS 6, yet the desktop software says "no updates available" and I couldn't find anything more recent on the Blackberry site unless there is a way to put OS 7 on the older blackberries.  Why might this be happening and have I missed something?
    Thank you!

    In terms of heat I'm not sure.
    It isn't only one spot that you can push to get it to come back. I have to manipulate the screen carefully in a number of different combinations. Also if the screen brightness is down the and screen fully open with an external monitor on the screen can sometimes clear up even after 4 hours plus of use. If I then move the screen up it will take a few minutes to go bad again. Even if the brightness is left down.
    I actually have a spare screen from an old 400mhz model which is identical brand. Its just not in as good condition and has to bright spots in the corners and one dull area middle bottom. Its just not in as good nic as the current one when its working. Is there a way to 'tighten' the LCD in case its a pressure problem or is still a heat issue?
    Many Thanks, Tre.

  • Vertical line and missing quotation marks

    I am a new user to FlashPaper. When I created by PDF from
    Microsoft Word, a black vertical line appeared and my quotation
    marks disappeared. What happened? What am I doing wrong?

    As you say, it's not waterproof, but it is really helpfull, thanks. The unclosed quotation are easy to find this way.
    In Dutch we mainly use single quotation marks (double quotation marks are only used for quotations within quotations). This brings an extra dimension to the issue, since the apostrophe and single quotation mark are the same character. So a phrase like ' I'm having problems finding unopened quotations' with your GREP suggestion will mark the apostrophe in I'm as the closing quotation mark.
    So what I'll do is:
    1. find unclosed quotations ‘[^’]+?‘ and mark them with a character style WARNING;
    2. GREP search ’[^‘]+?’ two following closing quotation marks and make them C=100;
    3. GREP search ’[^‘’]+?’ the correct quotations and mark it all K=100;
    4. Do a regular search for '^$ any apostrophe/quotation mark followed by a letter and mark them all K=100;
    5. Do a regular search for any closing quotation mark left in C=100 and manually WARNING-mark the ones that need to be looked at by the editor.
    Step 4 is a bit tricky since any error like 'I agree,'he said (no space after quotation mark) will be marked back to K=100 as well, but those errors I'll probably notice since they're underlined by the grammar control option.
    Thanks again for the help.
