They are nested symbols. Some have multiply transparency and some dont I'll report it as a bug

So, one set of symbols have a multiply applied to a texture within them. The other set of symbols do not. I have attached a screenshot that I took when I was at the office. Something weird I just noticed. On the main panel you will see a blank space, this is where the logo should be. On the side panels there should also be this logo...HOWEVER on the side panels the textured background is part of the symbol and that is appearing.

Hi there, I can't send files or screenshots due to confidentiality reasons. The PDF setting were ...Smallest file size defaults and PDF/x-4:2008 default settings. I am using CC2018, Sierra They are nested symbols Cheers

Its March 2018 and it doesn't look like this has been fixed. I have been working on a big packaging project and when I tried to make a PDF for customer approval...ALL symbols had vanished. There is not much point in having symbols if they are going to be so erratic.

Hi all, I hope you can help. I have created an illustrator document which has many symbols in it. It’s a packaging design and has logos etc appearing many times and so thought symbols would be the best solutio. However when I make a PDF of the file, ALL the symbols are gone. Nothing! I have tried various PDF setting but nothing works. The only work around that works is if I expand the symbols which kind of defeats the purpose. Has anyone knows what’s causing this. I am up against a tight deadline and would appreciate any help....client is not a happy man. cheers
