Hey Monica, Thank you for the info. I figured I shut myself out. With that said, I just went back to old faithful... sending the file to Photoshop, removed shadow, then sent back AI. Wasted lots of time, but I got it done Thank you again!
In most cases, I would concur. What I am doing is taking a Finished product and converting it back to plain line art. Problem arose with the shadow becoming a solid attribute. The line art is heading to a plotter. Been using Photoshop for decades. AI just a couple weeks. "Newb" I be. I must try and change the way I approach such projects. I do appreciate you and all the other users that are eager to assist. Maybe someday soon I will have enough knowledge to return the favors!
Click on the image that has the drop shadow. Go to Window menu and open the Appearance panel. Scroll and you will see drop shadow. Double click on the drop shadow and the drop shadow window will appear. You can delete it or make changes.
If the image is not live anymore got to Edit / edit original and then you can proceed by editing the original.
I was having an issue where I couldn't find the drop shadow. What solved it for me was to isolate the element that had the shadow. Then the check box for drop shadow became active in the appearance window. If this still doesn't do it, it's possible there are groups within the group. (I had selected multiple elements and applied the drop shadow to all of them at once.) These need to be isolated separately, then the drop shadow check box becomes visible.
