Hi everyone,I have been asked to submit a piece as a PDF and the print shop says that whenever they insert a CorelDraw or Microsoft produced piece they see lines within background images. I'm attaching a screenshot to show what she means. Apparently they appear when they import the PDF into Illustrator. The only way they can and add it to the background in illustrator.Is this something anyone has seen before? I've been using CorelDraw for about 12 years and I don't think I've ever seen it happen or been told that anyone is having it happen to them.Thanks I look forward to hearing other people's thoughts.Phil
Looks like transparency that has jot been flattened.

so WHY they import a PDF to illustrator? that's a crazy idea, if it's a PDF they should use Acrobat or send directly to the RIP. As an alternativem they can rasterize the PDF with Photoshop, then there's not "extra lines". It's a problem of the convert of PDF to a vector software (it could happens if you open a PDF with CorelDRAW too)
btw under newest CorelDRAW versions you have an option for adjust images to the pixel grid, select the image, right click and choose "object hinting", that should help. The reason of this line is a small difference (half pixel or less) between the image and the pixel grid
They open in Illustrator because that's what Adobe people do.
