Hi Community,

I am getting conversion issues from Illustrator to PDF conversion; kindly help me out.

when an object has a gradient, image, or effect applied, Illustrator often shows it as a bounding box instead of highlighting the actual path outline.

Issues like bounding boxes around gradients are one of many possible artificafts of importing PDF files into Illustrator. I can't recall ever seeing this problem when exporting native Illustrator artwork as a PDF file.
