Thanks, Ill check that out I do know about the scaling up patterns but getting the right ratio take a little more maths and % for the  walls ... View more

Thank you for checking that out for me. When I build a pattern it does not always start at this scale it's often smaller. And let's be honest PS artist files are a much larger size, even artwork imaged traced in AI would result in a large file. The reason for the pattern being that size is because it's for wallpaper. Now there seems to be a trend on making prints large on the wall. I'm not sure what you mean when say work in a smaller swatch or rethink my pattern when creating it, I did (lines and circles simple) the client wants large-scale patterned on the walls. On a 2.75 mt wall this print has to show large, so small pattern is not what the client wants and if they're going to buy it they want to see it true to scale. In order for me to do that my A4 image starts at full scale and then I reduce the image down to A4 sizing for samples to show clients what it will look at on a wall. And to be honest with you this is not the largest prints there are maps print that take up the whole 3mt high wall (325cmvx250cmh). Did not have an issue with this large file at all. I really think this was a corrupt fill for some reason, it happens.  If I design a card print or wrapping paper different scale but this is not the case and I have no idea how to make a small scale repeat in the right measurements for the client to see the correct scale mockup. They also need a sample of it on the correct scale which is the background on the A4 page.  Thank you for all your time it's greatly appreciated.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            ...

I have gone through the layers and there were no hidden layers with extra patterns in them, everything was swatched in and yes all the files are around that size with no issue. Why you may find the files are so big is because this it's for wallpaper and I had to start the image that the pattern went into a normal wall height so the clients can see what it looks like on a normal wall then I have scaled the pattern and image down to the size of the print sample.  If there is an easier way I would appreciate the heads up.  And like I said this is not one of the bigger prints. ...

The pattern is not that big at all I have much larger patterns in the same concept. Also, I can sav !e the AI file and the PDF no problem. it's only A4 template with a small template scales down to show the full repeat. I have even gone back to the pattern to see if there is an issue nothing. I thought maybe a corrupt file so I started a new one and still the same.  It's only the  Eps on this one out of 300 files the same this one is just doing it. ... View more

Sorry one in five for me just means it could be one in five or one in three it's just not a consistant problem. No rhyme or reason as they say. Im on mac OS sierra 10.12.3 and have had the update for a while. I am using files sent via the licensing agent that her printers use, so I actually cleared what was on the templates and then copy and past my work in place. I guess this may be the issue. I'm also finding that when I copy and past my work in, the pattern moves within the tile and I have to move it around to be the same image as my file. Is there a way to copy and paste the pattern doesn't move. I would love to eliminate the extra work.  That would be super helpful. Thanks for all you help ... View more

also, monika here is what the pdf is a switching to and I'm not doing anything different than switching out the patterns as this is a template and I just re-save it with a new name. ... View more

I have saved swatches 100 times over this has just been a recent problem I would select the the swatches the select save swatches as AI then usually name them and hit save its like one in every 5 does this.  It also started saving my PDF with a font (like how swatches save) and not the pattern image, so I have to reset AI for it to stop doing it by doing this: Try holding Cmd-Opt-Ctrl-Shift when restarting AI on a Mac or Alt-Crtl-Shift on a PC to reset the preferences to the factory defaults. I have a mac These are both new problems that have arisen in the last 6 months.  ... View more
