IF it's what I'm thinking you are describing, it sounds like the pdf was corrupted during its creation. It's happened to me on magazine pages from Quark in the past.
However, don't know what you can do about it other than recreate it, as you have done. Not much help other than to say 'you're not alone…' ________________________________________ From: [email protected] [[email protected]] On Behalf Of David Ransom [[email protected]] Sent: 09 February 2010 10:01 To: smug Subject: [sussex_mug] Scan line on pdf Does anyone know what the likely causes of scan lines on PDFs are? We have a magazine on the press which has a 3 pixel deep scan line right across a four colour picture. The centre row is almost completely white and the rows either side of that are about 50% of the original colour. The page was created in InDesign and then exported to PDF. I have recreated the PDF for that page this morning without any problem at all. The press was stopped when the minder noticed the scan line but we decided not to replace the page as there would have been a charge of about £500. I did check the PDF files before sending to the printer but did not notice the scan line. Any suggestions please?
