Help! Exported PDF Page Exporting Strangely.

It's just for some reason when the PDF is uploaded to Google Drive, Dropbox, or Issuu, I'm having the issue shown in the top image. Any ideas as to why this may be happening?

How are you viewing the uploaded file? In a web browser? Browsers can have problems with any kind of complex transparency. For screen viewing try this Output setting, which flattens the transparency, and converts all color to sRGB:

"This is what it looks like once uploaded."

Hi N5CBA,

what's the PDF viewer application you see the destorted graphic?

Try the following PDF export preset for your digital-only version:

Can you confirm:

• the file type of the image, did you try to convert it (jpg >> png fro example) and replace it?
• is the image embedded (copy-paste) or linked (File>Place...)
• did you try the lowest compatibility (Acrobat 5)
• use zip for compression (not JPEG) - that one is just a shot in the dark because that's what I usually use 😉

I would say the 'TIM TALKS' graphic is corrupted. Re-export it (from Illustrator?)
