How to remove unwanted pixel grid from PDF

[Lislie24874501otch]

Hello,

I've been trying for days to remove these pixel grids. It's not showing in the original PDF file, onyl when I open it on photoshop. I already tried all the options from the view tab.

It keeps showing when I save the file in any format (PNG,PDF etc)

Any idea?

Please provide the pdf. 

What is its PDF/X Standard? 

If it’s one that doesn’t allow for transparency then the effect it likely owed to transparency flattening. 

To counteract it you could try applying

• Layer > Layer Mask > From Transparency

• Layer > Layer Mask > Delete 

Why are you degrading a pdf by converting it to a pixel image anyway?

Hello!

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, PDF/X standard. It was created by that print/save as PDF from another program (studio silhouette)

I applied these commands and it worked!

I need that PDF's to remove the background and save them as PNG. You saved me haha

Thanks!!

If the pdf were created as PDX/X-4 the issue should not arise.
