![]() ![]() I tested my theory on a machine that just has reader on it and noticed the advanced button doesn’t have the Raster/Vector slider (the print as image box you suggested is there). But I just realised I have another problem now. Yes David, that is much easier, thank you. One last question, would there be nothing to worry about if I use only process colors in InDesin and send either PDF or indd. And actually flattening at the last minute by saving as PDF will not treat the colors the same way…? Is there also a such tool in InDesign also? In Illustrator there is a flattening tool (Flatten Transparency) and I was wondering if this is the only case that will transform spot to process. Is this true or not? If this is true, should I only supply indd. So I thought…in order to keep the spot color, I have to not flatten which is risky. My printer said flatten the layer with transparency to avoid the problem and using spot color won’t work since flattening will change it to process colors. I thought flattening will transform spot color to cmyk. However, I am still troubled by the whole issues about flattening and transparency/blending mode. The printer is as ignorant as I am in how to build a nuclear power plant… ![]() If a printer or a service bureau says that you are wrong when you are suggesting them to do that, they can order a training session to a major InDesign or Acrobat expert. Deactivate in the Advanced menu > Use Local fonts : this is one of the ways to check if the PDF has all fonts embedded and does not rely on a font installed on the System. Acrobat’s Preferences > Color Management > choose the appropriate output profile, especially important for European users where they should select Europe Prepress 2 or a better ISO settingĤ. Acrobat’s Preferences > Page Display > Overprint Previewģ. Acrobat’s Preferences > Page Display > Enable Display Trim, Page, Bleed boxesĢ. There are 4 majors settings to do in Acrobat 7 Professional for any person working with PDFs in a graphic/prepress environment, and those who attended my “InDesign at prepress stage” session in London know how important they are :ġ. The white box effect is one of the reason, and maybe the main reason, why unaware operators in service bureaus and printing houses said how ID is a bad software, and why ID in some markets had so many setbacks… ![]()
