banacan Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 DDC 20 book cover V8.afdesign DDC 20 book cover V8.pdf When I export to PDF I get some strange blue box that is not visible in the JPG or the native file. Can anyone find out what is causing this? Obviously I can't provide this to the printer. Any help would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

banacan Posted March 26, 2023 Author Share Posted March 26, 2023 Thanks. You're absolutely right. When I apply a drop shadow to each picture element individually I don't have the problem. Thanks for helping me with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
