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
I also remember publishing to newer versions of PDF (if compatible with the print shop) solves a lot of the transparencies problems.
It's not just what version of PDF you publish to, you have to send that version to an output provider that has equipment capable of supporting that version of PDF. 99.9% fails when transparency is involved.
I would disagree, professional prepress uses Acrobat and or their RIP digital front end, which usually is Acrobat with the RIPs plugin. Any prepress that first opens a PDF in CorelDRAW or Illustrator is causing issues especially where special effects or complex files are concerned.
A CorelDRAW file creator that does not output their files has no need for Illustrator.
