| Apr 2, 2018 at 20:18 | comment | added | Scott | So then I would assume the "object" has overprints turned on for either fills or strokes. I'm afraid this may not be solvable without direct examination of the file. -- before you say it's there... ---> "This link has expired or never existed in the first place!" | |
| Apr 2, 2018 at 20:06 | comment | added | user118761 | This "object" is in a file that needs to go to print for an ad, where the object is actually a corporate logo (I just changed the logo in the example above for privacy). Normally when I send ads to print, the output I select is "High Quality Print". With this file however, the object (logo) appears fine digitally -but when I print it, the object looks transparent (like in the x1a file as shown above, even though I'm not selecting x1a as the output). I've tried replacing the object, punching it out to create a new object, and changing the object's color ... but nothing seems to work. | |

| Apr 2, 2018 at 19:25 | comment | added | Scott | I'm confused... are you actually printing something or are you merely having differences with the digital files as you preview them? Acrobat job options for PDFx1 and "high quality print" are different and will handle some objects differently. I'm unclear which "version" you see as the "correct" version. In all probability PDFX1a is honoring (or dishonoring) overprints. | |

| Apr 2, 2018 at 18:03 | comment | added | user118761 | I don't mind uploading the file ... but I am new on here. What's the best way to do this? :) | |
| Apr 2, 2018 at 18:03 | comment | added | user118761 | Sorry, I made an edit to the imgur link. Now it should be showing correctly above. | |

| Apr 2, 2018 at 17:56 | comment | added | joojaa | Err the images are side by side. | |
| Apr 2, 2018 at 17:55 | comment | added | user118761 | Just to cover my bases: This illustrator object is in CMYK, in a CMYK document, at a Normal / 100% transparency setting. When the file is exported in High Quality Print it displays correctly on screen, but prints similarly to the way the x1a PDF shows digitally. | |
