SV: Spot color generating process plates

2008-11-17 Thread Jacob Schäffer
Donna,

Since I'm the author of a commercial software package Grafikhuset Publi PDF 
I've been reluctant to answer this question. So, please judge my answer since 
some may say it's biased.

Anyway, you'll definitely need Publi PDF. You should study the following links:

http://www.grafikhuset.net/publipdf/tech_components_optimizer_plugin.html

Test it. It works and CAN solve your problem.

 Emne: Spot color generating process plates
 
 
 First, many thanks to those who suggested fixes for the 
 FrameMaker -  
 PDF color shift problem I wrote about last week. I sincerely  
 appreciate your expertise and generosity.
 
 I'm now experiencing a different problem (in a different project),  
 but one that seems in some way related.
 
 This is a two-color job: black and PMS032. When I create a PDF and  
 check the separations, the spot color coming from linked  
 illustrations (Illustrator eps) is handled correctly. But the PMS032  
 applied directly within FrameMaker is throwing process plates  
 (Magenta and Yellow).
 
 The similarity between this and my last difficulty is that in both  
 cases, color applied from within FrameMaker is mishandled; color  
 specified in other applications (Illustrator) works fine. So...
 
 Do any of you know how to prevent these process plates from being  
 generated? Or do you know a way to merge them onto the spot plate? I  
 haven't found a way to do it with Ink Manager. (This job will be  
 printed from press-ready PDFs.)
 
 The job uses FrameMaker  7.1 on Windows XP Pro.
 
 For what it's worth, this has probably been happening for ages. But  
 in the past, this client has used a fabulous printer (I'm happy to  
 supply the printer's name off-line) and I'll bet he quietly fixed  
 things on his end. But the client is now hoping to save money by  
 using another printer, and this firm said they couldn't work 
 with the  
 files and bounced them back to us.
 
 Any advice is deeply appreciated, as always.
