Hi, I am working on a project where I am importing a map from QGIS into Illustrator to edit labels and other things. When I export the PDF from QGIS and open it in preview or other apps, it appears normal. However, when I open it in Illustrator, it is missing. I have attached pictures: 

 Missing border on east side in Illustrator,

 

 Border appears in preview and other apps. 

 

I've tried exporting from QGIS as a SVG and the border is missing entirely when opened in Illustrator.

 

Please help!!

Hello @KATHRYN341039725q82,

We understand that encountering technical issues can be frustrating. Would you mind sharing some more details, like the exact version of the OS/Illustrator, a public link to a sample file after uploading it to Dropbox/Google Drive/etc., and a screen recording of the problem (https://adobe.ly/3XHCb4C), so we can investigate this further?


Looking forward to hearing from you.

 

Thanks,

Anubhav
