I’ve tried messing around with various preferences (in the save pdf dialogue box, the “edit colors” menu in Illustrator, and the color settings option in illustrator). Nothing seems to change the outcome and I’m honestly not sure what I am even looking for.
I tried setting the transparency flattener setting to high, but there was no change.
I’ve tried searching online for the solution to this problem, but I”m not coming up with any answers. Maybe I don’t know how to word it, I don’t know….
