: Why do my PDF, EPS, & AI files default to 72 PPI on other machines? I've created a sticker design, entirely vector, made in illustrator. There are some gradients that blend to transparency.

@Alves566

You have some conflicting info there (72ppi in title, 150 in body of question etc).

However:

For PDF, I can reproduce this by selecting a different preset or manually setting the downsampling options. If you select "save as", choose PDF and pick the "Smallest File Size" preset, then all your raster art will downsample and the resultant PDF, when opened again in AI, will show less than 300ppi in the "Document Raster Effects..." dialog.
