Hello,

 

I am having issues with pasting or placing PNG files into illustrator. Everytime a white background is added. 

 

  • I have used the same files on other collegues computers and they are fine, no backgrounds added.
  • I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling illustrator.
  • I have imported over a collegues settings over mind and that did not work. 

 

Any help would be appreciated. 

thank you

Correct answer Ton Frederiks

Yes file > place, Yes saved on my harddrive and also tried desktop. 

attached is an example, saved as png in photoshop with transparent background, placed into illustrator and it gets a white back ground.

all of these files work fine on my other collegues computers. 


Works fine here. Does switching between GPU and CPU Preview make a difference? Cmd or Ctrl E

Pasting had issues in the past and could still have some.

 

How do you place them?

And you place them via the File > Place dialog?

Are the files on your hard disk?

Can you share one of these PNGs?
