I am having a similar problem. My art work isn't showing when I open my

AI files in Photoshop or Acrobat. Even when I try to drag and drop the art in Photoshop the artwork won't display. Can you please help?

No, you don't have a similar problem. Please create your own thread.

Tell us system and Illustrator version.

Describe what's in the file.

What exactly are you doing step by step?

Nope! Look likes it was just a fluke. I created a new document and copied everything over and it shows up now. crazy

Good to hear you solved it.

The reason I asked was that the name of the layer with the deer is underlined, which probably shows that a Layer mask is applied.

You could also test it by moving the layer with the deer to the bottom of the layer stack.

This was exactly what was happening with me. The underlined thing was the give away. Thanks so much. Saved me a lot of hassle!

Check if there is a layer clipping mask applied to the layer with the deer.
