Élément d'un fichier PDF qui disparaît à l'ouverture dans Illustrator

Element of a PDF file that disappears when opened in Illustrator

Bonjour,

Je rencontre un souci, on m'a fourni un PDF et il faut que je modifie un élément (code barre)
Mais quand j'ouvre le fichier PDF dans Illustrator, le code barre n'est pas présent
J'ai bien tout le reste mais pas le code barre.

Comment cela est possible ?

Merci de votre aide

Good morning,

I have a problem, I have been provided with a PDF and I have to modify an element (barcode)
But when I open the PDF file in Illustrator, the barcode is not present
I have everything else but not the barcode.

How is this possible?

Thank you for your help

It's not recommended to use Illustrator as a general purpose PDF editor, because it is not guaranteed that Illustrator can read everything in that PDF.

You can try the following: create a new file in Illustrator. Place (link) the PDF and Object > Flatten transparency: check outline text and outline stokes.

I don't find "Flatten transparency" on "Object" Menu

That is a screenshot from InDesign

Désolé,
le fichier s'importe bien avec le code barre dans Illustrator mais je ne peux pas modifier cet élément, il reste en image (pixellisée)

Sorry,

the file imports well with the barcode in Illustrator but I cannot modify this element, it remains in image (pixelated)

If it's an image, then there's nothing you can do in Illustrator to edit it.
