Illustrator :: Object Won't Let To Turn Off Overprint?
Apr 12, 2013
I got a PDF today that (besides being just a complete and terrible mess) has a basic vector shape in a clipping mask that won't let me turn off the overprinting.
Â
When I select the whole object with clipping mask, the Overprint Fill box (in the attributes panel) has a hypen. When I click into the clipping mask or go to Object > Clipping Mask > Edit Contents and I select just the vector shape, the Overprint Fill box has a check in it, and I uncheck it. Then when I exit out and reselect the whole object I get the hypen again. I can also uncheck the hypen and the box is blank, but then when I deselect and select it again I get that evil hypen again.
Â
way to turn off overprinting for a single object in Acrobat Pro my mind will figuratively explode.

I have an action with a number of items to do prior to releasing/proofing a file to print. I can record overprint preview using insert menu item, but this toggles to on or off depedning on what the last.

I prepare graphics mostly for print, so I like to turn on the Proof Colors view and Overprint Preview views. It's a pain to turn these on for each document. Is there a way to make these the default viewing settings in Illustrator CS6?
Â
I tried creating an action to do it, but the Insert Menu Item command in actions causes Illustrator to crash every time, and the help file seems to say that View commands are unavailable to actions. So I'm not sure if that's a bug. Oddly, Photoshop has the very useful File> Scripts> Script Event Manager that let's me turn on Proof Colors (via an action) whenever a document is opened. It works very well. However, Illustrator does not appear to have these options. I found the View> New View options in Illustrator. They let me create a view that turns on Overprint Preview, but absolutely refuse to turn on Proof Colors. So it's the same number of clicks and pointless.
Illustrator CS6, v. 16.0.3 64-bit, Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit

It is strange that it is still as optional view option. Why You can't see it always on? reason not to see overprints? We have at least 3 printing reruns this year, where objects lost in pages, just because they where made white from overprinted blacks.

When I Place an Illustrator file inside onather illustrator file, the overprint elements failed to be overprint.
Why? Is there a bug because I use CS6, but when I tried using CS5.5 it works without any problems.
Â
Here I created a file called single.ai, and set the text to Overprint Fill.
Here when you hide black color the orange color filled completely.
Then I created a file called Multiple, and placed then repeated it.
But as you see when I hide the black color the orange filled is etched (spoiled).

When i turn on overprint mode illustrator redraw is super slow. I made real siple file with two boxes from what one is overprinted.When i turn on overprint mode and try to move one of the box it will take time to redraw it on the new place and there is no drag view at all.
I need to use overprint mode quite often and its not an option right now with so slow redraw. Do i need to go back to use sc5?

If I were to select some text, then checkmark 'Overprint Fill' in the 'Attributes' pane, is there a way to tell with JavaScript that the text was set to overprint?
Â
I've been experimenting with this code in ExtendScript, but it keeps returning false:
Â
var doc = app.activeDocument;
$.write(doc.textFrames[0].textPath.fillOverprint + '
');

I have a logo that I ultimatly need rendered properly in a PDF to send for proofing. It has a overprint effect in it but I can't figure out a way to export it as a tif or jpg with a simulated overprint.
Â
What I have tried:
Export as tif and export as jpg (from Illustrator CS5). Neither export has a simulate overprint option, and both export with a big green blob on top of everything (the green blob is the shape that is overprinting)
Â
Save as PDF, press ready, defaults to view of green blob (not simulated overprinting)
Â
Save as PDF, change to PDF 1.3, in advanced flattening I set overprint to preserve, and high resolution. Same result as above.
Â
In a PDF I can turn on the overprint preview, but I can't make that a default (as far as I know). Additionally, I am sending this to a client, I don't want to have to tell him "Oh, and by the way, here are the 10 steps to simulating overprinting in PDFs!"
Â
Also I have tried to import from PDF to Photoshop and there is no option for simulated overprint there as well.
Â
Also, I don't care if it is just a jpg or tif placed into a PDF, I don't need to preserve vector for this portion of it. If I can, then great, if there is a solution but I can't find, It is only for presentation at this stage.

I¨m working on a RGB document; it´s not going to be printed, but I need to simulate the overprint effect and also to use some "out of gammut" RGB colors that display very different on CMYK. I have the overpirnt preview checked; also, the objects I want to overprint have the Overprint Fill checked on the Attributes window. I even tried converting to spot colors, since I got the "In RGB documents, overprinting only affects spots colors" message. Still, no overprint preview.

I'm trying to export a layered PSD of my AI file and I keep having problems with it merging the layers because of the overprint settings.
I've been trying to go through and turn off the overprint in my objects, but I have a photo that's cropped by a rectangle shape, and the Overprint Fill option under Attributes is greyed out. What must I do?

Whenever I enable Overprint Preview Illustrator seems to add grids on/over my document.
When I disable it, it dissapears. I find this strange because to me the opposite sounds more logical.
Â
Will these grids be printed if I choose to print?

I want to overprint a PMS colors using Applescript. I though if I changed the property of the selected items fill color from (fill overprint:false) to (fill overprint:true) it would work. This doesn't seem to change a thing.
Â
This is the script I am currently using:
Â
script ChangeOverprint
tell application "Adobe Illustrator"
local docRef
[Code]....
Â
This is the picture of a simple document I created. The elipse has fill overprint:true. The polygon has filr overprint:false. The original value for the property fill overprint was false. I changed it in the script to true. Which the log shows it changed.

on a picture. i can turn a blue object into yellow, green or any other color. and vice versa.To do that i know 5 different ways, or combination of those methods. 1- Hue/Saturation2- Color Balance3- Selective Color4- Replece Color (Similar to Hue/Saturation) 5- select the area, create a new layer, paint the selected area on new layer, blend the new layer with "linear burn". but when it comes to black, i can't change the black to another color with any of the ways above. So i was wondering if it is possible to turn a black object into white without killing the texture. Or cleaning the object from colors, making it colorless.best way i know so far is playing with "exposure" settings. but this time the objcet on the image is becoming blure and loosing its texture. Here is the object i m trying to make white (or colorless). Do you know any way to do it? i need to make that shoe as white/colorless as this one below.

I am using autocad 2011 and i am trying to turn an object into a revision cloud like i used to.
When i open the revision cloud, the only options it now shows are "exit/options" (option only opens a box that allows you to change the arc style and cord length). It does not have "arch length, object or style".
(i am using AutoCad Mechanical but i changed all the toolbars to AutoCad standard)I cant make a neat revision cloud without those original options.

I'm trying to rotate a small object in Paint. When I use the rotate toolbar to enter the angle I need, the object rotates just like I want. Then I hit the apply button and some pretty heavy handed anti-aliasing is applied and the object is essentially destroyed. I've been using Paint for quite a long time so I figured there must be an option to turn this off. I can't find one. I even added the anti-aliasing button to the rotate toolbar and turned it off but that doesn't make any difference.
Essentially, what I want when I rotate an object is the chunky, pixelated preview, not the final anti-aliased so much you can't tell what it even is anymore final product.
At this point, I'm going to have to resort to rotating the object and taking a screenshot of the preview and using that instead of the mess that the final result is.

I currently have my preflight set up to detect Overprint errors. When they pop up, I'm usually able to either fix it directly in InDesign from the Attributes panel or modify the source eps in Illustrator. However, I am running into a situation on this particular file in which I am getting Overprint errors on linked TIF files. It's not letting me change it from within the Attributes panel of InDesign or from Illustrator. What can I do to get rid of these Overprinting errors?

Here to my issue:
In Corel Draw X6.1 I have a grayscale bitmap that I want to set as overprint over a rectangle with 60% (cmyk) black. This does not work as the white box is visible in both the preview and separations. If I set the rectangle to a spot colour it works, but in separations I get the image on a separate plate (colour) which is not what I need. I tried duotone vs cmyk, duotone vs spot, spot vs spot, etc none works, every time I have the same color for the bitmap and the rectangle it does not work.

I have simple a 3D bottle shape created from about 16 points and I am trying to map a gif image on to it usning CS5. No matter what I have done (work from a new document, etc.) I always get the error message. I also receive this error when I attempt to map a jpg image on to the same shape. I have attempted this on three different Windows 7 machines running CS5 with the same result. When I try it with CS6 the program closes with a catastrophic error and no message. I do not receive this error using the default symbols. The gif and jpg images are imported and imbedded into the document and then moved to the symbols library.Â

I am having some trouble with a file in Illustrator CS6. Within a layer, when I add a fill to an object, the fill doesn't block out the object paths beneath. For instance, say I have a square object overlapping a circle object in Layer 1. The square object is above the circle in the layer. When I add a fill to the square, the circle stroke still shows through the square even though the overlapped part should be blocked out by the fill. The square is set to normal visibility, and I have made sure that there are no duplicate paths that would account for what I am seeing. (I.e., it's not a case where there's a second identical circle path that is on top of the square, so that it remains visible in spite of the fill.)
Â
Other details:
- I'm mainly working with a white fill, but the problem is the same with fills of any color
- When there's a fill color in the circle path as well, the circle's fill color *is* blocked out—just not its stroke.
- I have restarted Illustrator and restarted my computer and these have not changed anything.
- There are other layers within the same document where the normal layering rules work.
- I tried copy/pasting some of the problem objects into a new document, and in the new document, the fill works properly.
- If I move the problem objects to another layer, then the fill works as it should. But as I'm dealing with a number of paths, it doesn't make sense to create a layer for each to solve the problem.
Â
I can't tell if it's a matter of working in too large or complex a file.

When you print a file from corel you have the option to choose always overprint black, but when I make a pdf with publish to pdf in the advanced tab I have only the option to preserve document overprint, and the black text is knocked out. Is there a solution to that, other then manually setting black text to overprint fill in corel?
