Vector files are not accepted very often (I want to understand what the problem is so I can fix it).

Question

Please help me figure out the cause and fix it.... I have attached the PDF and EPS10 files that were not accepted below.

Thank you. Do you think if I re-upload the skull and change the keywords and title of the illustration, they will accept it? And it's still unclear why they didn't accept the illustration with the snowboarder. I had previously uploaded three other illustrations of people and there were no problems with them. Yes, the style is similar, but that shouldn't be a problem since the characters are completely different... The reason is the same... Maybe if I add some kind of backdrop in the form of a ski court or just a snowy scene? I apologize if I'm taking up your time by asking so many questions...

Nobody here knows exactly how the similar assets rejection works, we can only speculate. We think that the tool they use is flawed, Adobe is convinced that the tool is working well. Adobe has the insight, and may be they are accepting a few "colaterals" and are catching massive spamming with it. There were accounts having submitted hundreds, if not thousands of similiar assets.

But even the most experienced contributors get a huge number of "similar" refusals. Quality issues are by far easier to check.

Let's take your pumpkin image. There's noting inherently wrong with it (save for maybe the teeth not being connected to the pumpkin), but here is just one example among hundreds or even thousands when it comes to your competition. As a buyer (which I'm not, but let's pretend), which one gives me the most value? And as I peruse all the available options, how likely is yours (considering the number of such vectors available) to show up within the first 100 pages of results (i.e, 10,000 pumpkin images). That's where the similar content issue comes in. Meanwhile, as I'm writing this, @Nancy OShea's email just came up noting that Halloween is over and try resubmitting next summer (not next fall...next summer). Three to four months in advance of any holiday should be given consideration when submitting assets.

As for the skull assets, I personally like these myself and nothing stands out to me as having quality issues. But I'm not a moderator, and moderators have the last say in these matters.
