That is quite possible: I only had a short time to try out Acrobat 8 Pro. Another FrameUsers contributor had pointed me at the ink manager after seeing n 8 Pro demo, which is why I was concentrating on it. >The "Ink Manager" can be used to alias spot colors and/or to cause spot colors >to be printed as process.

It's really quite hard to get complex technical issues over in a short phone call, especially when you're discussing completely new features in an application, and you're both under pressure. I could tell that the guy at the other end was thrashing his tech database quite hard. -- Steve _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to Framers as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send list messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/options/framers/archive%40mail-archive.com Send administrative questions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit http://www.frameusers.com/ for more resources and info.
