3. Re: Importing PDF to illustrator. Text does not display.

4. Re: Importing PDF to illustrator. Text does not display.
mbeck123 Nov 14, 2012 7:53 AM (in response to Monika Gause)It was saved with the illustrator editability on. I can edit the pdf in illustrator, just certain chunks of text don't show up when I open it in illustrator. I could just copy and paste the text into illustrator, but I would like to see where I went wrong.

MW Design Nov 14, 2012 7:56 AM (in response to mbeck123)Why not open the AI file?
In any case, as Monika points out, the PDF really needs to eb created with the AI editing capability turned on. That way, AI is opening the AI data contained in the PDF, not the PDF data.
Take care, Mike
***Oops, cross-post. I see you did preserve the AI data now.***

MW Design Nov 14, 2012 7:57 AM (in response to mbeck123)A thought. Are the fonts the same on both systems? Restricted in any way for embedibility?
