  PDF loads wrong content?

  Posted by Chantal Gfeller on August 22, 2018 at 1:36 pm

  Dear co-cows

  i got a problem. (obviousely)
  there’s an illustrator-file that’s supposed to be a kind of presentation.
  every layer acts as a page/slide. within those layers/slides are groups with pictures, frames and text etc.
  when i save it as a pdf and try to open it, it doesn’t load everything at once (example: for slide one it loads pic 1 then pic 2…) and sometimes even content that has been removed from the project but used to be in a certain place. but only for a rlly short amount of time then the actual picture appears.

  does anybody know this issue or knows what to do?
  I’d appreciate all of your experiences!

  Thanks
  Greets

  Something to try: I seem to recall that Acrobat used a method of saving where information was simply added to the end of the file if you saved with a simple control-S and you had to actually do something like select “save optimized” or “save as…” to purge the extra information. Perhaps this is the issue here? I don’t know if that applies to PDF saved from Illustrator, or if that even applies these days, but that’s what came to mind.
