Illustrator :: Colors In PDF Preview Look Different From AI File
Dec 14, 2012
I am having a little trouble with the pdf I created in Illustrator. See images below for explanation. It's only happening to certain text. How can it be fixed, and how to prevent it from happening again?
I get this as thumbnail image on my desktop and in Finder, when I click space bar to quick view, and when its preview as an attachment in an email.
This is how it's supposed to look. This only happens when the PDF is actually opened..it goes from the above img to this.

I prepare graphics mostly for print, so I like to turn on the Proof Colors view and Overprint Preview views. It's a pain to turn these on for each document. Is there a way to make these the default viewing settings in Illustrator CS6?
I tried creating an action to do it, but the Insert Menu Item command in actions causes Illustrator to crash every time, and the help file seems to say that View commands are unavailable to actions. So I'm not sure if that's a bug. Oddly, Photoshop has the very useful File> Scripts> Script Event Manager that let's me turn on Proof Colors (via an action) whenever a document is opened. It works very well. However, Illustrator does not appear to have these options. I found the View> New View options in Illustrator. They let me create a view that turns on Overprint Preview, but absolutely refuse to turn on Proof Colors. So it's the same number of clicks and pointless.
Illustrator CS6, v. 16.0.3 64-bit, Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit

Just wanted to print a new photo and realized that the colors in print preview do not match the colors in soft proofing. In both cases I selected the same icc profile and rendering method. The print colors matched the colors in print preview. I never had a problem so far. All new prints will be checked with soft proofing and adjusted when necessary. I never paid attention to the color rendition in print preview and all prints perfectly matched the colors from the soft proofing. I was surprised when my print came out of the printer and the colors weren't matching the soft proofing colors, but that of the print preview.
I don't understand why Photoshop renders the colors differently in the first place. See attached screenshot for the difference in the blue/cyan colors. I don't care if the print view colors will match the print, but I do care when soft proofing is not working.

This seems to be happening to large files in general, but happens more often when saving down from CS6 to CS3 (for preflighting). The files will save, then throw this error when re-opening. The preview of the file in the Finder will disappear and the file becomes useless. We are on Macs running 10.6.8 and Illustrator CS6 (fully patched).

I knew there would be a few quirks. I recently upgraded my Mac OS to SL 10.6.3. When using Illustrator (CS4), saved files as .EPS, do not have the appropriate Illustrator icon on the file. When I click on them to open, instead of opening in Illustrator, the file open in "Preview".
NOTE: ".AI" files saved, do not have the correct AI icon either, but do open in Illustrator.

I'm using Illustrator CS4 and there is a particular file that I cannot seem to save with an icon preview.I've selected pdf compatibility, with no success. I'm re-saving an old file that was originally created in Illustrator 10? Could it be related to the use of many patterns?

I would like to import all of the colors in an .ase file to view them together in a grid as data for research I'm doing. Is there a way to access all the colors in a palette at once and import them into a Photoshop, InDesign, or Illustrator file? (there are hundreds)

using illustrator cc, on a series of illustrations, i am placing an ai file with my color pallette into all of my files (if i update the pallate, all files will have the corrected version). when i place the pallette file, the cmyk values are slightly off. all files are cmyk. seems like a bug, reminds me of placing illustrator into photoshop, and colors values would be ever so slightly off.

I work in prepress. I have an Illustrator CS6 file that is made up of 3 Pantone Spot colors. I save the file as an eps from Illustrator and rip the file with our prepress software. When previewing the ripped file with our prepress software it shows me that I have process colors (CMYK) somewhere in the file. I can not see these colors visually in the ripped file so I go back to Illustrator to see if I can edit them out of the file. I use the Preview Separations tool but can't find those process colors anywhere. There are no placed images, everything is vector art. I double check any white color and make sure it doesn't have any tiny percentage of process color in it. I make sure my spot colors are indeed spot colors and not process colors. I add used colors, I delete unused colors. I can't find the CMYK being used anywhere in my Illustrator file. How to clean up these "hidden" colors? This was also a problem in CS3. I'm using an iMac 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5, Mac OS X, Version 10.7.5

I bought a macbook pro and the student suite about 3 months ago. They work fine together (better than the couple windows-adobe), but i've got a problem. Today colors of my macbook suddenly changes when i create a new web-profile file on Illustrator. I inspect my mac wtih the utility colorsync, and this was the result:
/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Profiles/RedBlueYelllow.icc
Etichetta 'pseq': Il profilo richiesto non è presente. Non può essere riparato.
/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Profiles/Smokey.icc

I am not sure, if this -- or something similar -- was answered before but I couldn't find any suitable thread/message/...
First of all some system information:
* imac running OSX 10.8.x and macbook running OSX 10.9.1
* Illustrator CC
* Pantone Color Manager
I am trying to use the Pantone Fashion and Home / Paper color library provided by the Pantone Color Manager, specifically for using the Radiant Ochid 18-3224 TPX (Color of the Year 2014). I saved the named library to a *.ase file and opened it in Ai. From the number of colors I guess, that all colors are imported but I can't find the 18-3224. BUT there are lots of "Unnamed Global Colors" with some of them wich might be the one in question. Using 'xxd pantone.ase' in the terminal I can find at least the name "Radiant Orchid 18-3224 TPX", which means, that it is saved in the given file.

I've been having a strange color issue with Photoshop CS3 (and Illustrator CS3). I'll make a design or drawing in Photoshop or Illustrator, then save it as a jpg to email it off to my client for previewing using gmail. In the gmail preview, the colors are completely off (for example, a yellow lemon will appear bright turquoise) and when I "view" the jpg in the web browser on mine or any other computer (mac and pc), the colors are sort-of neonized versions of the original colors. However, if I download the file and open it, the colors appear correct.

Using CS6 on a MacBookPro Is there a way to find the closest matching Pantone spot colors to the cmyk colors I've created in Illustrator? I know it's easy in Photoshop using the color picker, but there must be a way to do this in Illustrator.

So I am working on this document and it has silver background. I go to print preview (Photoshop cs3 and cs4 on Vista) and I get color looking more like bronze looking but when I do print, it comes out just like it should (in working mode which is Monitor RGB with Proof colors checked).
This setting is the only one I've used to make sure image/psd looks exactly like what it should when printing. I tried the default Working CMYK with and without Proof colors but it's still showing me the bronze look instead of silver. I've looked on the net and no exact easy fix for this was found. I really really appreciate any help.
Another simple question is regarding size. I'm working on a document size of 17.5 x 8.7 inches and the actual Banners will be printed at size 175 x 87 inches (5 banners each at 35inch wide but combined into a big one). So essentially, I'm working at 10% the size of what the final print will be and my file size is 760mgs. You can only imagine how big the file would be if I work on the actual size.

I'm wondering if there is a Font Preview plugin available that will do what Illustrator SHOULD HAVE done for many years - which is to actually allow you to toggle through your font list and display the text you entered in the fonts you are clicking through - - kind of like what CorelDraw has had for the last 15 years.
Imagine that... being able to review text in a selected font to facillitate the selection of an appropriate visual reference for logos, etc. Earth-shaking, I know.it seems there would be an Illustrator plugin by now that would do this???
Or do I have to continue to have CorelDraw opened up so that I can review text in various fonts to determine the best choice for a given project font?

I have two files that should be the same color and they are maddeningly different. The RGB values of the colors are the same, they are both RGB 8-bit files, but the file with the wacky colors reads "RGB/8#" on top of it's window frame and the other reads "RGB/8*". The Color Settings are both set to sRGB IEC61966-2.1. Why? What does that number symbol mean?

there is no preview in CS6 when you open a file! I´m talking about the thumbnail preview when you are selecting a file in the "open file"- menu tab. Where is it??

In Photoshop CS6, if you save a picture as a 32-bit JPEG, there is a little bit of words saying how preview and file size is only available in 8-bit, and then it spells available a second time incorrectly "available".

Normally as we are designer we find that there are lots of EPS files are in our computer, but while importing we are not able to view those as a preview in coreldraw so that every time we have to import and view each file.

why I am getting a difference in my result between the preview screen in max and the actual output file. I have had to re-render hours because the finial result came in much darker then the preview screen and I had to crank up my lights. I think even the quality was better in the preview screen.

I have imported thousands of photos into LR4 without a problem but today I hit a problem. I have converted a number of PDF documents into JPEGs as I wanted them to be available to view via LR. I receive the message that 'Preview is unavailable for this file' and then 'Failed to find a place for the imported file'. The JPEGs are stored on an external drive. When I try the same thing in Aperture the JPEGs load into Aperture without a problem.

whenever I do pretty much anything (eg. when applying any of the Illustrator Effects) in Illustrator, to have to turn on the 'Preview' checkbox every time. Obviously I want to see a preview of what I'm doing. I can't find anything in the preferences to fix this - is there any way of making preview ON by default? I guess this is a relic of the ancient core of Illustrator, when adding something like a soft shadow would make those Macintosh Classics grind to a halt.
Unfortunately this is one of those impossible-to-Google questions - any permutation of "illustrator", "preview", "default" gives me thousands of unrealted search results!

Just upgraded to CC on Windows 7 and noticed the font preview is now much smaller than in CS6. I have it set to size large in preferences, but I'm having a terrible time seeing them. Is there anyway to make the preview bigger? I set it to small and medium just to see and I have to wonder what the programmers were thinking when they set previews this small. Why can't they just give us an option to select what point size we want to preview the fonts at?

Using Illustrator CS5 (Vers. 15.1)
I opened a illustrator file with a linked jpeg in it.
I updated the jpeg and the new file (working jpeg) didn't preview and at the same other images in that file and basically in every illustrator file i've made stopped to show up. Now I cannot place or update any image links.
I already tried to uninstall (with preferences) the whole illustrator and reinstall it but nothing shows up. Only image I got to preview is a binary coded eps.

While in Illustrator cc, when I place a tiff from Photoshop, the preview does not show up. So today I was placing images and everything was working perfect until I wanted to place another image, all of the sudden I couldn't see a preview again. I could see a preview of the other files I placed but not this one? I check PS preferences "always show preview" is clicked. Not sure what to do, is this a bug?
