Question
Hi Kevin,

I'm working with CS3, I was working on an ad and when I saved it as a PDF some of the graphics were missing. Some of the problem areas contain psd files and clipping masks but not all areas. I did a little reading about transparency but I can't seem to find anything that works.   

Thanks for your help,

Kimberly

Answer
Hi Kimberly,

It sounds like your graphics were linked instead of embedded or are missing. Make sure they are all embedded in your file (at least temporarily) by selecting them and clicking the "embed" button in the options bar and then save as a PDF.

Thanks

Kevin
