Clipped images gets displayed on adjacent pages in exported PDFs in readers such as Microsoft Edge browsers
When I place multiple images in a clipping mask, whether it is exported as PDF or saved as PDF, or even if I use Acrobat to optimize the PDF, some PDF readers such as Microsoft Edge will show the image at the bottom of the clipping mask. It becomes a color block displayed on the PDF, but these extra color blocks will disappear after enlarging the PDF interface.
当我在一个剪切蒙版中放置了多张图片之后 ，不管是导出为PDF还是储存为PDF，甚至我使用了Acrobat对PDF进行优化，都会导致某些PDF阅读器比如“Microsoft Edge”显示出在剪切蒙版底层的图片，变成一个个色块显示在PDF之上，但是放大PDF界面后这些额外显示的色块又会消失。

Interesting.
When I check this PDF (thank you for sharing it!) in Acrobat — clipped images don’t 'leak' into adjacent pages.
Same happens when I try to import the PDF back into Illustrator (although the mess of the images within clips is remarkable — but I understand exactly why you do it like this!).But if I read it with Microsoft Edge — indeed, these clipped images from neighboring pages are visible.
I also tried to optimize the PDF in Acrobat, several times. No option helped me to get rid of the underlying images, but no 'leak' happened as well... but it gets worse in Edge!
I doubt any clear automated solution exists to detect these layered images and leave the only one at the very top... Ai doesn’t offer a way to rasterize objects in a selection separately, and no scripts exist I know of to solve this.Other than this non-exsting optimization option, I see two problems:
1. Ai can’t remove objects from adjacent pages in a PDF, baking the whole layout (and neither do Acrobat, it seems). This is also mentioned in this report — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/32252662 — although the problem is not limited to Export for Screens only
2. Edge can’t view these PDFs correctly. This you’d have to report to Microsoft, I am afraid... Not sure it’s their fault exactly, but it’d better to let them know as well.Sorry I can’t be any more helpful.
And thank for the report! Voted.
