Illustrator :: Unwanted Stroke Appearing On Objects In PDF
Jan 31, 2013
I'm having trouble with a logo I've created in an svg. file. I seem to have to finalized, but when I save it as a pdf. to take it to the printers I see parts of the logo suddenly have no stroke or stroke has been added in other parts.
I don't seem to have any hidden layers I don't think. I'm not sure if there is a setting to change in the window that gives you all the options to choose from when you're saving something as a pdf. Or is there a setting I should be activating when finalizing this logo as an svg that prevents such problems. I'm pretty new to illustrator, before this I was using inkscape which I got the feel of until i decided to go pro with illustrator.
I'm having stroke issues. I'm not sure if it's a document setting somewhere or a bug. In one of my documents, when I draw a box and try to set the stroke to inside, it offsets, like this:
Notice that the stroke is on top in the appearance panel, yet the fill is masking half the stroke. If I resize the box, it changes the offset: It was also snapping any stroke weight under 1 pt to 1 pt when my fill was a gradient, although that doesn't seem to be a problem with this shape. Another strange thing is that in a different existing document, the stroke works properly, but if I open a new document with this one open, the same problem occurs in the new document. Is this a document setting?
I've constructed a logo that consists of several shapes that but up against each other. The sides that touch one another are completely flat. When I zoom in, the objects are touching, if not overlapping in some cases. This is okay as it is very small.
However when I save it as a pdf document to sent to a client, those thin lines between the shapes appear much more pronounced. It looks as if I have intentionally put a .5 stroke line between each object.
Just installed the new CS6. I'm experimenting with Illustrator. I feel a little dumb asking this, but ALL of my newly drawn paths, brush strokes, objects etc. keep automatically shifting to the bottom of the layer instead of like usual, appearing at the top. Is there a way to turn this off? Revert back to normal?
I have created a custom tool bar for ACAD 2013. Each time I start a new ACAD session, my tool bar is not docked at the top of the screen and the other standard tool bars I do not want appear.
How do I permanently keep the unwanted tool bars from appearing? Also, in the upper left corner of the screen the following appears: [-][Top][2D Wireframe]. How do I get rid of if?
Is it possible to select all objects with a particular characteristic, such as a specific stroke width? I know I can do this by selecting one object and then choosing select all. But I want to include this as part of a batch action, so I need to be able to specify the selection in such a way that it can be completely automated. If I have to select one of the objects for each file, it defeats the purpose of the batch action.
I made 3 circles one inside the other. each has a stroke applied. I created 2 triangles and joined them to make an hour glass shape. I placed the hour glass over the circles.
Now i am trying to use the hour glass to cut the 3 circles below. It ends up looking like a spider web. In these photos the antennae is 2 shapes and on top of the layers that hold what i have described.
Everytime I set the fill/stroke color of objects in a file to 75, 68,67, 90 it resets it to 0, 0, 0, 100. It isn't consistent though... some objects accept the color.
I need the frame of the image below as a stroke style (or at least I prefer that above having to copy-paste the elements of the sides 100 times along a frame in my design )
The thing is: it contains gradients. How do I get the frame to a stroke style so I can easily use it in Illustrator?
I have Gimp 2.64 and was wondering if there is a way to get rid of a car in a photo. I can use clone tool but that won't work for what i need so i need to crop out car but i also need to fill in that space
I produced some objects in Inventor 2013 and exported to DWG to be assembled in AutoCAD 2013. All is fine except when i look at the objects in a 'hidden' view these weird diagonal lines appear over the objects. I am unable to clcik these but when i zoom in they gradually disappear but. If I try to plot the object as shown these lines are printed. This also happens when saving to pdf.
I photograph beach weddings. In my old software, I could remove swimmers and bathers, how in elements12? I am trialing it and cannot see any way to easially remove unwanted objects
Is there a way or an option I am missing to convert my regular paths to a path stroked with a brush profile,while maintining the proper stroke width?
For instance, I have a regular line with a stroke of 5 and then add a brush profile, which then converts the original stroke to whatever the brush was made at.
Unwanted objects showing through your printed output (and print preview), but not showing up in the paperspace display, when using 3dclip in Acad 2011 (mechanical) ?
I have photoshop 7 and I wish to remove unwanted objects from photos and replace them with the current background. I have tried to use the healing brush tool , and the cloning tool, but I do not have content aware. How can I replace unwanted elements in my photos with the current background using my version of photoshop. The welcome screen to my edition says it is possible?
how to birhgten and shapren and use the stamp tool to remove unwanted objects. but how would i go about making this picture look fantastic. im using it as my desktop but it looks a little fuzzy. i added title and switz flag to it.
I have a shape with a black stroke and green fill. I have a white line segment over it. How do I get it so that the end of the line segment doesn't show over the black stroke of the object? If I try to put the line segment behind the object, then the object fill hides it completely.
I'm new to illustrator and I've tried to search for an answer but I don't know the best way to accomplish what I want to do. Seems like some combination of transparency or knockout groups and I've read a bit about this and can't figure out what I need to do.
I need an outline on a stroke that i drew but when i apply object>path>outline stroke i keep getting my initial stroke applied as well. I only need the outline, not the initial stroke. I use Illustrator CC.
I'm trying to figure out a way to automate a simple, yet repetative process I do countless times a day. Ideally, I'd like to tie it to a keystroke to speed up my workflow.
I work on line art and colorways for footwear, so the way I'm coloring these shapes and strokes break apart the different materials and pieces of the shoe.
While coloring line art, I work with Pantone spot colors as fills for closed path objects. I then have to manually apply that same color to the stroke, set the stroke to 0.5px weight, convert that spot stroke color to CMYK, and add 15% to the K value.
I found some code in an older post for applying the actively selected object's fill color to the stroke, but I'm having but I'm having trouble with the next step of figuring out how to take that spot stroke color and convert it to a CMYK build that I can then add 15% black to. Is this something that's even possible? I've spent about an hour playing with the script and have only had luck matching the fill color or turning the stroke white.
I have a problem with the envelope distort function. The left part of the image shows what I want to distort with what shape, the right one is a close up for what it does in the mid corner (straight lines no longer straight... at least the horizontal ones...).
Illustrator CS6 exports to PNG with unwanted transparencies. I've done everything I can think of but some of the shapes in my Ai file with 100% opacity are still showing the layer under them in the PNG export file.
With shapes that are intended to fit exactly with one another, such as shapes created with pathfinder>divide I find often that there are very small cracks between the shapes and that these will show up if the shapes are exported to Photoshop in a more pronounced way.
What's the workaround to 'seal' one shape to another and rid the result of these gaps?
Joining the shapes is not an option as they are different colours.
When I write a text in illustrator, there appears a small grey border around the text. When I save it as a pdf or jpg, then it’s gone. So I’m sure it’s not a stroke. It more looks like some kind of path around the text. When I draw another shape (square, circle…) then there is no problem .I’ve reset illustrator (removed the presets) but that didn’t do anything.
Its bounded box but its this box that takes up center of my image and it ruins the entire image.I don't know how to make it go away.I have unselected things anything in window that might be related but it still not working.I am using the creative cloud version of Illustrator on computer os window 7
I picked up the following search and replace script online which works as inteded, except that it removes any italics I have and makes all of my text bold. Is there something I need to add/remove/replace to make it stop doing this?
Edit: It's doing even more in some files, including changing the size of my text. Also, it is only making these changes to any text box that has a string to be replaced.
function myReplace(search_string, replace_string) { var active_doc = app.activeDocument; var text_frames = active_doc.textFrames;
When I create a new document in Illustrator I'm getting two artboards, even though the new document dialog box displays 1 in the Number of Artboards dropdown. Why this might happen, and more importantly, how to stop it?
