Peejee Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Is there anyone who can tell me how I get the text 100% black in the PDF while I export in Affinty Publisher. Every PDF I make with the standard setting is fully CMYK including the text.(overprint black change nothing) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac_heibu Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Simply by defining this colour c0m0y0k100 and using it. Try this: Open the colour swatches panel. Use the flyout menu of the panel to create a new „Global Color“, define it and add it. Now you can use it … thomaso 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palatino Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 "Global Color" doesn't have to be. Quote Thanks to DeepL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every PDF I make with the standard setting (...) overprint black change nothing Although there is a default ready-made 100 K swatch (between the "no color" and "gray" icons, as shown in Palatino's screenshot) it might not fit to your needs: Unfortunately there is still a bug with overprint on export as PDF version 1.7, as used in the default PDF export preset "for print": It refuses to export an overprinting 100 K black, regardless of the overprint checkbox in the "more" export options, and also regardless of either applied with the default swatch or with a custom global swatch which in particular is set to "Overprint". v442 swatches 100 K _v1.7.pdf To achieve overprinting black text, for instance to avoid knocked-out colors underneath, you still need to export as a different PDF version, for instance PDF/X-3 does work. v442 swatches 100 K _X-3.pdf heatherl 1 Quote macOS 10.14.6 | MacBookPro Retina 15" | Eizo 27" | Affinity V1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heatherl Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 I'm experiencing the same issues with K100% text not overprinting and even tried PDF/X-3, with op ticked. I would have thought that if I open the pdf in Affinity Photo I would see the results in the cmyk channels. Definitely not overprinting but knocking out in all 4 seps viewing it that way. Unless that's a flawed way to check that a pdf is knocking out or overprinting? A preview overprint simulation tick box in Affinity Publisher would be the ideal scenario. Can anyone please check this test pdf/x-3 for me? text OP pdfx3.pdf Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
