emlazo1 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 The last beta of publisher exports a pdf doesn't respect the option of black overprint, when edit in acrobat with print production option to inspect colors, black is not overprint. thomaso 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomaso Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Even with the default print preset, which has "Black overprint" activated in its Export > More options AND with additionally using a 100 K overprinting swatch none of the blacks do overprint. Screenshot AfPub, the middle line has overprinting K assigned: Export as PDF 1.7 with default preset for print (has ticked "overprint" export option): None of the 2 blacks do overprint. (K channel disabled in this screenshot) : Whereas it works with PDF/X-3, both with ticked and unticked overprint export option as expected. Black Overprint ticked (= on): both black swatches do overprint: Black Overprint off (= unticked): Only the global overprinting black swatch does overprint: RM f/g and woefi 1 1 macOS 10.14.6 | MacBookPro Retina 15" | Eizo 27" | Affinity V1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RM f/g Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Same here. Thanks for the solution. Or is it a workaround? Macbook Pro mid 2015, 16 GB, double barrel: MacOS Mojave + Affinity 1 (+ Adobe’s CS6)/ MacOS Monterey + Affinity 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomaso Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 – I think it's neither nor. The fact, that it works in PDF/X-3 does not mean it does not need to work in the v1.7 preset, – AND a PDF/X supports less features than 1.7. and therefore is no real substitute. Hm, now I wonder whether X-4 would handle overprinting correctly (haven't tried). macOS 10.14.6 | MacBookPro Retina 15" | Eizo 27" | Affinity V1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RM f/g Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Just tried X4. Overprinting works well. thomaso 1 Macbook Pro mid 2015, 16 GB, double barrel: MacOS Mojave + Affinity 1 (+ Adobe’s CS6)/ MacOS Monterey + Affinity 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
