Why does a grey box appear around my Illustrator document when I print it out in acrobat?

I am having this huge problem.  After I create a document in Illustrator, crop it (so it is print ready) , open the file in Acrobat to print, something unusual happens.  A greyed out tinted box appears to print which seems to be the specific area that I previously cropped in Illustrator.  This has never happened to me before until I switched to CS4.  Any suggestions as to how I prevent this from happening.  You can sort of see it happen in the preview window with the image I attached.

Well that's just the thing... I save the document as an ai.file and just usually open and print through acrobat.

  • Type Kit- Why does a dialog box appear when opening a file?

    Type Kit- Why does a dialog box appear every time I open a file- asking to substitute fonts that I've had working for years. Also, what is that pink box around the type- they are not missing fonts.

    Which version?- Latest Creative Cloud Type Kit
    Which system?- Mac OS 10.10.1, iMac 7i
    Where does the file come from? File is an Adobe Illustrator CC
    Which fonts?- Any and all fonts that was used in the .ai file which I have been using for years.
    Do you use font management? Which one? Mac Font Book
    Are you really sure that your fonts are properly installed? Yes and verified.    
    Did it ever work? Yes, Ever since I opened Font Kit on Creative Cloud I get a window stating that the fonts in an existing file are missing and do I want to substitute.
    Did you just upgrade?- Apps always upgraded.
    Did you change systems?- Ever since I opened Font Kit on Creative Cloud
    The PINK box around the type, I believe, indicates a missing font- but they are not missing and I'm sure as hell not going to let Type Kit control MY FONTS.  How do I turn it off as the pink box is intruding with the design composition???
    SEE Sumit Singh’s reply- worked for the pink highlight. I have to see about the dialog box thing- I will let you know.

  • Why does the scrollbar sometimes appear then disappear?

    Why does the scrollbar sometimes appear but then disappear? When I open a window the scrollbar is sometimes there for a just few seconds. If I select it within a few seconds and use it everything works fine. If I don't use it, it disappears and I can't get it back. How do I get the scroll bar back? Why won't the scrollbar show up at all on web pages?

    It's a feature which is supposed to enhance your interface with your Mac and its operating system on screen. It is a "visual aid" that is meant to remove on screen clutter.
    You can go to 'system prefs/ click general/ click 'Show scroll "Always button"
    There you go

  • In Adobe Flash CS6, I have a blue box appearing around lines drawn with the line tool (and other tools like brush etc). I can't figure out how to disable.

    In Adobe Flash CS6, I have a blue box appearing around lines drawn with the line tool (and other tools like brush etc). Whenever I try to use a tool,  a blue box appears around the line and I have to double click it to manipulate it, which opens just that line in a semi burred screen where all the other objects are semi-grey in the background. I can manipulate this line in this screen but nothing else at that time which I could do about 5 minutes ago. For exampe, I no longer can join up 2 lines drawn by the line tool together. For some reason this started randomly (probably due to a accidental shortcut combination) and I just can't put it back to what it used to be. I have inserted a video hopefully showing what I mean. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you - Just what I needed

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output andWi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • A box appears around the apps i am trying to click on and i cant scroll. I have to click about ten times for the app to work

    A box appears around the apps I am trying to click on and I can't scroll. I have to click many times for the app to work.

    Sounds like you have VoiceOver (one of the accessibility features) 'on' - if you turn the volume up do you get a voice saying what you are tapping ? If you do then try triple-clicking the home button and see if that turns it off, and if it does you can then change what a triple-click does via Settings > General > Accessibility > Triple-Click Home.
    If that doesn't turn it off then you can either turn it off directly on the iPad (you need to use a tap-to-select and then double-tap to activate/type process and 3 fingered scrolling) to go into Settings > General > Accessibility and turn VoiceOver 'off', or you can do it by connecting to your computer's iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4064
