Question

Solid Lines Exporting as Dashed in PDF

Hi,

 

I have 3 Illustrator files that I have been working on with modifications to each one and only one of them displays all my solid lines as dashed when saving as PDF. It appears perfectly fine on Illustrator itself and I have spent hours trying to find any hidden layers or lines behind them and there are none. The layers are also all the same for all 3 files as they're copies of each other but only one of them has this issue. How do I fix this?

Which application are you using for viewing the PDFs? Acrobat?

Hi Monika,

 

Thank you for getting back to me so quickly! I was opening it in Preview in MacOS but tried with Acrobat now and it opens correctly – never had an issue with Preview before so didn't think to try Acrobat. Thank you so much!

I'm glad you could solve it that way.
