Raster image attachments: half of image corrupts when plotting to PDF or printer

[alfisk]

Several people in our office have been having issues with attaching and plotting raster images.  They display properly, but when they are plotted (to either printer or to PDF), the bottom half of some of the images turns into a black or grey block, or part of the image jumbles into a colored mess, etc.  Attached is a sample of this problem-- you can see the two color images on the right drop off.  The greyscale image on the left previously had this problem, but was "fixed" by resaving the image from JPEG to GIF.  Unfortunately, this workaround hasn't worked for the two images on the right (which were previously fine.)

I've tried saving these into diffrent formats, saving them as a lower resolution, changing between full and relative paths, and I can't seem to come up with anything that works.  

Please let me know if you know of a solution, or if you have other suggestions for workarounds.

Yes, it is knowing bug (defect) in AC for Mac. I also sometimes have such results, especially if raster images clipped in the drawing after insertion.

I have not found workaround for this issue....

These images are inserted right into paper space, with no clipping.

I am really, really hoping there is a workaround other than "assemble the PDF with a different software."  Makes assembling a set a really big pain.

Hi There,

I am having exactly the same issue and I have tried to save the image in different formats and nothing worked.

Does anyone have the same situaton and found a solution?

I can see that people have posted about it 2 years ago so I hope in this meantime somene have worked it out.

Thank you!

Hi,

I didn't have this issue with my current drawings, but maybe it is not fixed still for some specific cases. Could you attach your problem drawing along with the raster image(s)?

I eventually discovered it was an issue with resizing & cropping the image when I was plotting. When I inserted the image at scale 100%, it didn't give me this issue. Also, it only happened with images in portrait orientation. Curious. Not sure if it still does it or not, I haven't needed to attach any images to drawings since then.

This sound correct for me too. I need to test this again, maybe the issue still is not fixed....
