. WITHOUT Pdf compatibility

Save a file .ai I am currently working on ' creating file compatible pdf ' running - 35 MB

Save a file .ai I am currently working on ' creating file compatible pdf "turned OFF - 1.3 MB

How is that possible?  I feel like a file compatible pdf included in my .ai shouldn't add ~ 33MB...?

Adam,

You have images that are embedded in the PDF file?

  • Preview full size in bridge - without PDF compatibility

    Why can't get an overview of the size of an Illustrator file in Bridge without using the PDF compatibility!

    I don't want a file that should be 1.8 MB - using the related images - finish under a bloated 70 MB file that takes forever to open and save!

    The whole point of associated images is to keep the file size small and the eye-catching application.

    I do not understand why is it always like that...

    The point of all of the linked files is to keep the size down.  1.8 MB instead of 70 MB - there is a HUGE difference.

  • What pdf compatibility is the best?

    Hey guys

    I'm new to Acrobat and fell on the pdf maker, parameters and distill to create new PDF files. Here you can choose different compatibilities (pdf 1.5 / 1.6 etc.) and other parameters.

    What is better to use? It is recommended to always use the latest version? What other parameters such as compression of images and so on?

    Thanks for your help.

    I use Acrobat Pro DC on 10 to win.

  • It is a file Adobe® Illustrator® which have been saved without PDF content.

    Hello world

    I work in illustrator CS6 and I try to save my file in PDF format. However, I can't do it.

    I save the file as an AI. file and click on the option "create a PDF Compatible file. Then when I click on > save as > and opt for the PDF version and click on save the PDF comes with no picture and just the...

    It is an Adobe® Illustrator® file that was

    recorded without PDF content.

    Instead, or open it the other

    applications, it should be recorded in

    Adobe Illustrator "PDF creation".

    Compatible file"option enabled. This

    option is in the Format native Illustrator

    Options dialog box, which appears when

    save an Adobe Illustrator with the help of the

    Save as command.

    This has not happened before when recording in PDF format previously. If you could offer any help or advice I would appreciate it a lot.

    See you soon

    Rosie,

    It's weird seriously: even if you create file PDF Compatible unchecked, you should be able to save in PDF format.

    Maybe there's something corrupt, so the list may be worth trying:

    The following is a general list of things you can try when the question is not in a specific file and when it is not caused by problems with opening a file from external media, see below. You tried/made some of them already; 1 and 2) are easier for temporary strangenesses and 3) and 4) specifically preferences might be corrupt); ((5) is a list in itself and 6) is the last resort.

    If possible / there is, you must record a current work first, of course.

    (1) close Illy and open again.

    (2) restart the computer (you can make up at least 5 times);

    (3) close Illy and press Ctrl + Alt + Shift / Cmd + Option + shift during startup (easy, but irreversible);

    4) move the folder (follow the link with this name) with closed Illy (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you can find the file here:

    https://helpx.Adobe.com/Illustrator/KB/preference-file-location-Illustrator.html

    5 look through and try the relevant among the other options (click on the link with that name, item 7) is a list of the usual suspects among other applications which can disturb and confuse Illy, point 15) applies to the maybe CS5, CS6 and CC);

    Even worse, you can:

    (6) (check the box to delete the preferences), run the cleanup tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC) to uninstall and reinstall.

  • «It's an Adobe Illustrator file that was record without PDf content.»

    I worked with Illustrator - InDesign as usual. For the time being to link my file HAVE in InDesign, I received this message 8 times in a frame size A4:

    "This is an Adobe® Illustrator® file that has been saved without PDF content. To place or open this file in other applications, it must be re-recorded in Adobe Illustrator with the options of 'Create PDF Compatible file' lit. This option is in the dialog box Options of Format native Illustrator, which appears when you save an Adobe Illustrator file by using the Save as command. »

    Weird... I have never seen it before. I resaved the file, and it continues to be. I see no option "create PDF Compatible file" when you simply store a file HAVE...  I'm not trying to make a PDF!

    I did the same procedure that connects the other files HAVE in this file ID and it works as usual. Just that's the one. And it seems not particularly different from what I do every day...

    I finally made a PDF of the AI and placed in InDesign. But whenever I have to update the AI... Well, you know. It's just not the right way to do it.

    Any suggestions? Thank you!

    you don't see this when you save? What version of HAVE?

  • Can I change the save by default than the PDF compatibility?

    The default value for save as pdf is Acrobat 6. Problem started just about my plans of work not made does not correctly in the PDF file. Preview of the document is also very strange. Registered PDF open correctly in artificial intelligence, but not in anything else including Acrobat and Apple Preview. Change the compatibility to 8 solves the problem.

    I get that I can make a custom preset, action or script, but I would really just stay simple as possible.

    Well, if you simply remove the tree off the road probably will lead you into another tree later.

    You could make your custom desktop configuration, rename it to default Illustrator, and replaces the one that is named [default Illustrator]. Then, it would be always ready. Is that what you want to do? If Yes, tell me if you are on a mac or a pc, so we can point to the place where it should be.

    The brackets mean that the setting is kept in a place where you have to admin / owner of the password of the computer. But the thing is that this default Illustrator isn't quite a parameter you want to use when you send to a printer. So if you really want to go in this direction, you have to know what the risks are and how to avoid them.

  • Save as PDF (compatibility option)

    Yet a bloody newby to Illustrator...

    I often need to save a document to HAVE PDF to send to someone.  There is always this Panel seeking Options and compatibility level.

    The default value of compatibility is always "Acrobat 6 (PDF 1.5)".  I have no need of backward compatibility, so I always have change to "Acrobat 8 (PDF 1.7).

    Question: is there a way to make the PDF 1.7 by default in Illustrator?  I have checked all the preferences, but impossible to find such an option.

    As always - thank you in advance for your kind advice!

    try saving a PDF preset file, it seems to remember the next time you save (on windows).

    No, just open this in Illustrator and then save it in any format that you want such as PDF, if you need.

  • PDF compatibility options

    Anyone know how to adjust the settings used when creating an .ai file PDF compatible? Is it still possible?

    I think that the resolutions can be resolved to reduce the size of the file. Compatible PDF file we need information, but a decent resolution is not one of them.

    Thanks for saving me the "masses" to save time.

    It the same thing!

    See Help file:

    p.268

    Create a PDF Compatible

    Saves a PDF of the document representation in the Illustrator file.

    Really, this means that your file will be recorded with this is the PDF version.

    p 283:

    Applications and utilities that create PDFs use the last set of parameters defined or selected PDF.

    Nothing is really, what method you choose to PDF, all uses the same parameters of the last .joboptions file defined or selected

  • Recorded without PDF content?

    What happens here please?

    I save Illy to pdf and often this instead of a pdf file. It started to happen when I have updated Acrobat the other day.

    Seems to make no difference if the Illy is saved as PDF compatible or not.

    I had to go back to the EPS > method to distill to work around.

    Opening a file PDF compatible, Illy in Acrobat and then by saving as PDF works somehow, but then I can't control the compression settings.

    What is going on?

    I have a large part of the files recorded without PDF compatibility turned on and they preview correctly in my dam system. I tried to create a save action slot, but it does not work.

    What you want is "pdfCompatible":

    IllustratorSaveOptions

    Properties of IllustratorSaveOptions

    pdfCompatible boolean If true, the file is saved as a PDF compatible file. Default: true

  • Illustrator saves a blank PDF file with information on the missing content

    I use Illustrator CS6 on OS X 10.8. Yesterday, I noticed that my PDFs out as files empty with the text

    It is a file Adobe® Illustrator® which have been saved without PDF content.
    Instead or open this file in other applications, it should be re-recorded in Adobe Illustrator with the option 'Create PDF Compatible file' lit. This option is in the dialog box Options of Format native Illustrator, which appears when you save an Adobe Illustrator file by using the Save as command.

    which is in fact a description that usually appears in the files saved without PDF compatibility. It is not document-wise but rather application-wise question because sometimes, even if I create a new Document, draw something in the middle of the canvas and save it. Also, all of my existing documents which record well before, do so now. Basically, I can't successfully save a single PDF file. But it seems that the exported documents must contain the data because they have different sizes depending on the content.

    There is no problem with the backup to format I. I hope this is enough information for someone smart to diagnose this problem because I am starting to be desperate

    You have an idea? Thank you.

    Oh, my friend just advised me to clear the cache and it worked! :-) I deleted files ~/Library/Caches/com.adobe.Illustrator and ~/Library/Saved ask State/com.adobe.Illustrator.savedState and one of them went around :-)

  • The Illustrator file size is 4 x size placed jpeg

    It's weird. I have a jpeg CMYK placed in Illustrator. It is not embedded. The size of the jpeg is 6.6 MB. When I look at my Illustrator file size, it is 25.6 MB. Is there a way to get around this? I have other files with placed jpegs that only take into account data from Illustrator (vector, IE) into account. Any suggestions? Looks like a rookie question!

    If you save without PDF compatibility and do not embed an ICC profile, your file size should be much smaller.

    When you register with PDF compatibility, you are, indeed, incorporation of the image.

    If you choose the compression option to save, the part PDF readable your .ai (with the embedded image) file, in fact, will compress down with other file data, offering a reduction in file size.

    Whether you need compatibility PDF and/or a profile tag, only you can answer. You pay for them in the size of the file.

    Tebu,

    You try to open a document to a newer version?

    If so, you should get a downsaved version instead. Even if it was saved with PDF compatibility you'd lose probably important editability.

  • Remove the compatibility with older Versions of Adobe Acrobat

    I'm trying to scan hundreds of documents as PDF files using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.5.5. I'm on Mac, the latest version of El Capitan and find that Preview 8.1, the PDF Viewer integrated for OS X, has difficulties to open a portion of my scanned documents. Interestingly, the only ones who have color in them. Black and white analysis open very well. I think it's an Apple problem, and not what I'm here for.

    Anyway, I went back to PDF it wasn't opening and Acrobat to remove compatibility with earlier versions of Acrobat. I kept compatibility with "Acrobat 4.0 and later versions. After that the file opened without problem in the preview. I noticed that the quality of the new PDF degraded slightly when I removed the compatibility. I guess that's because Acrobat must perform a new rendering of the PDF file.

    Is there a way I can create a PDF file to a JPEG file that is only compatible with versions 4.0 and later? I rather do pretty early in my workflow, and then go back and remove the compatibility and degrade image quality.

    Thank you!

    Hi Link648099,

    First thing, Acrobat 9 is not compatible with Mac El Capitan.

    The PDF created in Acrobat 9 shouldn't be compatible with version 4, please check the levers of the compatibility of the https://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/understanding-pdf-compatibility-levels PDF
