mackitten Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 This may be outside the scope of the site so if so sorry... I know we deal almost exclusively with images but in the past on facebook i think sometimes folks were able to answer illustrator questions I created a logo in Illustrator CS5 to be used as an engraving. The only guidelines I was given was the dimensions 1.5" x .5" and either PDF or JPG I designed the file on an artboard to fit snug in 1.5 x .5. I saved as PDF with default settings, then found out they werent opening in a Adobe program so have to save with editing capabilities turned off (they were seeing hidden layers) After they engraved it and it is a fraction of the size I designed it as they said when they tried to enlarge it the image was blurry. I am trying to figure out where I went wrong since I save it at the right size to begin with and I maybe incorrectly assumed that the output was a scale-able vector file.. again apologies if this is too far outside scope cannot attach the pdf... -Jennifer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mackitten Posted March 13, 2016 Author Share Posted March 13, 2016 Great thanks Damien! I was hoping I wasnt messing up big time. The thing is already engraved and Im screwed on the return policy but I still want to understand what went wrong. I think I have to find out what they are opening and viewing the file in again thanks appreciate your time and knowledge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
