Castle Al Posted May 24, 2020 Posted May 24, 2020 Hello, Sending my grey scaled PDFs for printing, these are rejected because of "containing ICC profile". I tried several exports from Publisher, but each time the documents are with ICC... How can I export a black/white or grey scaled pages without generating ICC? Thanks for any help. Quote
Castle Al Posted May 24, 2020 Author Posted May 24, 2020 (edited) Thanks for your fast réaction, Yet, how do you get these options? Using Publisher 1.8.3, there seems to be no way to have an empty presets field... There's also no "Compatibily" choice neigther... Amongst the presets, I can only find a "flatten" option... but this as probably nothing to do with avoiding an ICC profile attribution. It's puzzling, sort of. Auch! No wait... There's a small "Plus" (french version) at the bottom of the main submenu). There I get the following (see image) Edited May 24, 2020 by Castle Al finding windows Quote
Castle Al Posted May 24, 2020 Author Posted May 24, 2020 What also puzzles me, is that a "flatten" PDF still contains transparencies... I always thought the flattening process IS to create... a flat image. Quote

No, it keep the "void" for white paper, not considering it transparency, and transform in image every other part that is transparent, like a shadow in an image with a gradient from grey to white, for example. Each part of the PDF is then solid colour, and if there's nothing it's where is the paper. Quote

Yet, sending my PDF for "normalization" in the Lulu printing process, I still get the warning of a document containing transparencies. I wonder if I'll ever mange to avoid this frustrating comment one day... Notice: The PDF as been exporter as FLATEN... Quote
Wosven Posted May 24, 2020 Posted May 24, 2020 You need to use: Comptabilité: PDF/X-1a:2003 to flatten transparency automaticlly while exporting the PDF. Castle Al 1 Quote
Castle Al Posted May 24, 2020 Author Posted May 24, 2020 Great Wosven! How could I ever imagine that this cabalistic formula would do that? Today is a bright day: I've learned something fondamental to make another step forward! Thank you! Quote
