I have an indesign document with logo in it that I want to set to overprint. I have the logo selected, but the overprint fill box in the attributes panel is greyed out and I cannot select it. How can I get the logo to be set to overprint?
View 1 RepliesI 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?

View 15 Replies View RelatedI 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.
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.

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.
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).
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.
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?
Some polygons of one vector layer do overprint and some not. Do you know what can be a cause ?

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.
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)
Save as PDF, press ready, defaults to view of green blob (not simulated overprinting)
Save as PDF, change to PDF 1.3, in advanced flattening I set overprint to preserve, and high resolution. Same result as above.
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!"
Also I have tried to import from PDF to Photoshop and there is no option for simulated overprint there as well.
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.

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.
Will these grids be printed if I choose to print?
Rather than drop shadows knock fuzzy holes in underlying separations, is there a way to set a Drop Shadoo to always overprint?

Is there a solution to that, other then manually setting black text to overprint fill in corel?
View 11 Replies View RelatedI 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.
This is the script I am currently using:
script ChangeOverprint
tell application "Adobe Illustrator"
local docRef
[Code]....
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.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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?
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.

I'm using InDesign CS5, and have a document that doesn't export to PDF. It is the only document that fails to do so. I don't receive any error messages, it just doesn't do anything after I select all of my export options. If I remove a specific linked document from the file, it exports fine, so I assume it has something to do with that one linked file
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to animate 4 pages (of text and graphics) so they appear 1 at a time in an never ending loop in InDesign so I can export and create and animated GIF for a web banner.
The only way I have managed to do it so far is to group the text and graphics on each page, copy pages 2, 3, 4 onto page 1. Layer them on top of each other, animate them to appear 1 at a time by delaying the timing a second for each.But I can't get it to work as a loop.

Have a 100 page document as several chapters in a book.
How do you apply a Master Page to all of the odd numbered pages?
Or, simply, how do you apply different headers and footers for odd versus even pages; through the whole document and across chapters.
I'm used to printing in Photoshop and somewhat with RIP.
My designer just created a PDF portfolio where many images are specific crop, and specific lay outs, and some bleed over the page etc.
She said there are great advantages to printing from IN design, in that you can later go back to the master file in Photoshop with layers and re- insert it etc, as well as other advantages, primarily, of course, you dont have to re-configure the whole layout as single PS files.
Of course, I would have to buy In Design and deal with learning curve, and not have the RIP option.
