1. Re: Problem exporting an artboard to TIFF
hjespersen Mar 3, 2013 9:49 AM (in response to hjespersen)After I posted this the forum recommended some other postings to read (which did not come up when I was searching), and I found another interesting aspect of this. My artboard is 504 x 317 points, which resulted in the TIFF being 504 x 318, with the transparent strip on the bottom. When I changed the art board dimensions to be even (504 x 318), the problem went away. So I will live with this by having dimensions divisible by two, but it seems like a bug, since it affects TIFFs and not PNGs.
By the way, a related TIFF export bug in Illustrator is that compression does not work. Photoshop can correctly create an LZW-compressed TIFF, but Illustrator does not.

3. Re: Problem exporting an artboard to TIFF
hjespersen Mar 4, 2013 11:40 AM (in response to MikeGondek)Thanks, but I already did that before posting my question. As I have been experimenting more, I found that my simple solution in the first reply – using point sizes divisible by two – does not work in all cases. My current workaround is to see what size Illustrator uses to save the TIFF and then use that exact size for my artboard. Fortunately, I have some leeway in this case.

hjespersen Nov 21, 2013 10:12 AM (in response to hjespersen)I believe the problem I reported here about the transparent strip has been fixed in Illustrator 17.0.1. I tried about a dozen test files and have not seen the problem again. Thanks, Adobe.
