"Is it legal" Considering that even Adobe tech support is suggesting to find someone here with an old installer means they aren't too worried about it. Besides, it's useless without activation, so once it's activated with a valid subscription I'm sure Adobe is still happy they have a paying customer. I know that's a wishy washy position legally, but there ya go. That being said, offine installers for anything above CC2019 are needle-in-a-haystack anyway as most people installed the software through the CC App. ... View more

SVG is a pretty crude format compared to others, and it really depends on the capabilities of the source program to create a "good enough" copy for other uses, particularly with flatness/precision values, so this is probably more of a question for Solidworks.  Have you tried exporting as DXF/DWG or for that matter PDF to see if there is any improvement? ...

Consider yourself very lucky. Registering is a different thing altogether. That is a mechanism for Adobe to know you have that version/serial associated with your account. If you had previously registered it in the past, it should still show on your Adobe Accounts page under Plans and Payment > Products (my screen grab shows my old CS5.5 Suite still registerd from 2011); you won't need to register it again.  If it doesn't show, or you never registered before, you could try register it now by entering the serial number. How successful that will be in 2025 I can't say. It's been awhilllle.   ... View more

Same here. I always expect the CMY plates as well. I just did a test with every version from CC2020 thru now and they all exported the same.  Did the OP maybe make the "Black" a spot colour?   ... View more

Indeed.... the client asking for a high-res PDF under 10MB is ludicrous. In my world (prepress) we want MORE, not less. I'd rather get a non-downsampled, no compression 4GB file than have a compromised version just to get it "smaller". ... View more

"but still slightly fudges the righthand edge of smaller bitmaps" It's the anti-aliasing. Since your small button has a fixed dimension, it can't create proper anti-aliased objects past the right/bottom edge of the graphic so it appears to have a harder edge there. Bicubic is even worse, because it requires a grid of pixels as a sample (e.g. a 4x4) then it creates a new value in the downsampled image... however, when it gets to the right or bottom edge, if it doesn't have that full 4x4 grid to sample, it duplicates the last available data (i.e te last column/row of pixels) to make up the sample size so you can see that it actually looks ike it's repeating a copy of the last row/colum of pixels... Most noticebale on small objects. If your buttons were vector, this wouldn't happen, of course. 🙂 ... View more

The test at 1200 was meant to replicate how the file might be handled handled at an actual RIP on an output device, which would be anywhere from 1200 to 3600 dpi... Just to eliminate the possibility the anomaly was just affecting viewing the file in InDesign or Acrobat. ... View more

My first thought was also that i was an affectation of the downsampling, as that WOULD potentially allow allow a sliver of the background black show through at the edges, but since you also tried no downsampling, then I'm stumped. Let me think on this a bit. I can see that viewing it in InDesign would do it, as your screen preview is downsampled and anti-aliased, and depending on your Display settings in Acrobat, the same might be happening. Have you tried opening the PDF in Photoshop to render at say 1200? Is the "edge" still there?   Can you share a chunk as a sample image? ... View more

I'm curious what you would get if you packaged the file. ... View more

No worries! I tried a test file using a few different scenarios, e.g importing with different ICC profiles assigned on import, etc, but I was able to replicate this in this situation: If the file, although exactly the same, just copied to a different loaction, was placed from that different file path location, it would not group. Like so:     ... View more

Two things that might help: 1. Change your compression settings from Bicubic Downsampling to Average Downsampling. This might help on the "clipping" you're seeing because of the different technical ways each routine works. 2. the "for images above" should not be the same as your desired. This can cause unnecessary downsampling on images that are slightly above 150ppi will make things blurrier. Normally, this would be 50% more than the desired *e.g. 225ppi". ... View more
