I have a document in Illustrator CS3 and some outlined text have overprint attributes and some don't. When I import the .ai or epf file through backstage pilot and open in Packedge the type that had white overprint is missing? I have got burned on this a few times when client didn't provide a proof to compare. Is there a setting in backstage to convert white overprint to knockout?
Thanks for any info you can provide.

I have run into this before . .. what a lot of artists don't realize is that white is not an ink but the "color of the paper" and when its set to overprint it just disappears . . . I dont know about backstage but you can go into the illustrator file and use select same fill/stroke and remove the overprint attribute probably . . .
Hi,
Try to use Esko boostX plugin (free trial) with these tools:
1. bX Select Overprinting Objects - searches your document for objects that are in overprint.
2. bX Select Uncolored Art - searches your document for objects that have no fill color or stroke color assigned to them.
Thanks for the plug-in from worker72a.com, this help a lot in the early stages of prep. Thanks for the Data exchange plug-in info I will give this a try also.
