Gradient problem from illustrator to acrobat

[Jeanette5F85]

Color gradients that look good in illustrator and then in indesign change when you make a pdf.

Please embed screenshots in your post.

Please tell us the version and system, the color mode and the options for the PDF and also what exactly you are doing.

Since Illustrator and InDesign have different rendering modules, you have to expect some differences. How does it print?

I had embed a pdf.

Something happens with gradients between illustrator and acrobat, can be a bug because I have updated in the last days and not had this problem before…

Big sur 11.1 and the latest updates

Your pdf only contains images, can you share a pdf that contains the gradiens and was saved with Illustrator editing capabilities (so we can check the gradients in Illustrator).

This is a test of gradient, I'm creating a logotype with 2 gradients, but when I do a pdf of the indesign (with the logo in layout)

something happens

Now I cant attach pdf or ai file...??

You can share a link using the CCfiles Folder, Dropbox, WeTransfer, Google docs ....

If I turn on Overprint Preview in Illustrator, the result looks like Acrobat.

You made a gradient between a mixed process color and a 100% Pantone spot color, is there a reason for that?

You're right, my mistake, a PMS had sneaked in..

THANK YOU!!
