  • What are your color settings and what PDF settings are you using? I assume you're converting so some other color space/profile (Also, I assume you're talking about the actual flower rather than the background?)

    Surely the PDF isn't randomly adding that blue and green background. Do those change the appearance in Illustrator? I.E. if the flower pedals have transparency in them... that blue background would show through.

There could be a few things causing this.

As mentioned above, your colour profile you are using. Quality of the PDF PDF viewer There seems to be a lot of texture in the petals, is PDF best? Can you not use a hi-res jpeg?

Hope that helps.
