Excellent - that worked! Thanks very much for your help with this.

Hi, when I attempt to export the attached file to PDF, it displays an error message "An error occurred while exporting to". I can export the file to other formats such as EPS and PSD without an issue, but I need it in PDF. Thanks in advance for taking a look. Nomader_insert_2_10.20.afdesign

@>|< opacity isn't the issue. For some reason when exporting as an EPS file, even though all the text areas were converted to Curves, most of the text still showed up as pixelated when opening in AI. I hired a graphic designer with experience in AD who suggested exporting in PDF instead. That resolved the issue. The printer was able to open the PDF in AI and everything was crisp and clear—no pixelated text like the EPS file had. So this appears to be a bug in AD.

Hi, related to the OP's question, when I convert text to outline (using the curves function), and export as an EPS file, my printer still sees the text as images when importing into AI. Consequently, most of the "text" appears pixelated on their end. How do I resolve this? I've uploaded the AD artwork file, along with some screen captured examples of what my printer is seeing. Thanks in advance for your help. Edit: removed AD file
