I accept Dov's point re composite colour for photocopiers etc, and indeed on some imagesetters it is possible to set up drivers which will separate spot or cmyk colours when RIPping a composite file. However, to separate for litho printing there are a few options. 1. Import the PDF file into Quark (need plugin) and run separations to an imagesetter from there. 2. Export as eps from Acrobat (as level 1 ps), import into Quark as run seps as above. (more steps but no need for plugin) 3. Use a PDF plugin utility such as PDF Output Pro, or Crackerjack.

Typically, you provide a printer with a "composite color" PDF file and the printer makes separations from that. - Dov At 6/8/2003 04:38 PM, Tim Gross wrote: >Can anyone tell me the best way to make Pre-seperated PDFs from MS >Publisher?
