See image for hairline created when using intertwine. This is happening when rasterising from a 'High quality print' PDF. Doesn't happen when exporting to JPEG from Illustrator

Hi @NMD UK,

Sorry to hear about the trouble you are facing. Would you mind confirming if this is happening in all files or a specific one?

Also, would it be possible for you to share the file with us for further investigation?

Thanks,

Appears to happen only when used in conjunction with a drop shadow on the intertwined objects. Here's the file. Also only happens when rasterising at lower sizes.

Thank you for updating us on the issue you were experiencing with intertwine causing a hairline when rasterizing from a 'High-quality print' PDF, @NMD UK.

We're glad to hear that the solution of using the 2400 test anti-aliasing and removing the drop shadow on the intertwined objects worked for you. Thank you for sharing this information with us.

To help us better understand the issue and investigate if it can be improved further, would you mind uploading the file to Creative Cloud or Google Drive and sharing the public download link with us, as Ai files cannot be attached directly in the Community? We will forward the file to our product team for further analysis.

Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention and for your cooperation in helping us resolve it. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. We are here to help.

Best,

Anshul Saini

Then it looks more like a Photoshop rasterizing problem.

It happen's when saving to PDF too. No matter which PDF settings I use.

Did you try to turn off anti-aliasing in Acrobat? There is an option in Preferences > Page Display > Smooth line art.

Which version are you using?

In which application are you using the PDF?

Intertwine is a live object. WHen you rasterize it right away, Illustrator doesn'Ät create clipping masks.

In a PDF it won't rasterize it, but try and keep the vector objects (which depends on the version). Therefore it needs clipping masks. And that is what you are seeing. Antialiasing artifacts because of masks.
