i saved these files out of the same .ai file with the exact same preference boxes checked. i turned everything off except one layer .. save as a copy (repeat).
it looks like they added weight each time i saved out. what could cause this?

i considered the boredom-ability of this topic .. but really? no guesses?

corrupt first file? That's my best guess.

would it be it saves 1
then saves 2 (but 1 is still there)
then saves 3 (but 1 and 2 are still there)mathematically that makes sense .... just a stab in the dark:)

so do i literally need to delete all the extra layers before saving one out? when i open them in acrobat it's just one frame. should be easier i would imagine.

there must be an easier way ....hmmmm

i'm not trying to throw a fit either but i clearly named all of my files for sequential upload but when i select them all and insert after page one they scramble up like eggs!

So you saved them from Illy to PDF
-did you save them as a "default" pdf?
default keeps all the layers- oh really? i'm not sure i follow but i don't want to keep them editable. does that matter?_salisae_

i don't have illy on my crappy lil' laptop but i asked my dawg, Clementine, who happens to be lying here beside me and she thinks "alicetheblue" is on to something.

personally i fond printing to PDF works much better than saving as one. if someone could explain why it'd be appreciated.

sometimes your AI PDF does not display in properly so open the AI PDF in PDF and resave.
