This image is part of a logo and completely made in illustrator vector. The graphic has a fully orange colour. I've scanned the result so you are now seeing a grid of red and yellow dots. http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/7171/hoekje.jpg The problem is that the logo is in vector so this...

Re: Ink Coverage in Illustrator I'm using Enfocus and its preflight indeed has en error on this: Total ink coverage of flat CMYK color is larger than X% You can solve this problem using: # The PitStop Inspector # Source applications PitStop Inspector With the PitStop Inspector in Enfocus...

Re: Ink Coverage in Illustrator I agree. I can easily check for ink limits above 240% (newspaper) in acrobat pro with 'preflight'. Enfocus Pitstop problably gives me an error to when I try to save as certified pdf with newspaper settings. The problem is how to solve it when it does. I've read...

Re: Ink Coverage in Illustrator I'm a graphic designer myself (make magazines). So I'm curious how advertisers deliver their add files to be printed by a newspaper (which mostly ask for ink limit levels of below 240). In Acrobat I can preflight for 'newspapers' which warns me for ink levels...

Re: Ink Coverage in Illustrator So basically, my best option is just to form a custom color pallette with colours that don't exceed the maximum ink coverage? If I don't want to tamper with the colour profile settings too much with the risk of ruining default preferences settings? How about...

Re: Ink Coverage in Illustrator But how is this normally done? I've seen newspaper sites for example saying that ink coverage should be below 240%. Like it is so easy to set and no explanation to how to set it. But I understand this is extremly difficult with Adobe. So do designers deliver...

Re: Ink Coverage in Illustrator I've experimented a little with that. It's true that when switching to another colour profile the bottom right colour value varies. Normally the entire CS is set to Europe ISO Coated FOGRA27. Now I've drawn a square with colours: 95,95,95,95 and switched the...

For a client I make illustrations in Adobe Illustrator. They switched to a new printer and I've been asked to take a maximum ink converage into acount of cmyk each color max 90% and all together max 230%. As far as I know, there isn't an option in Illustrator to do that? I can't select a colour...

Re: outlined text pdf gets distorted seems to work, but has the software detected anything strange about my original file it also works when I save the pdf as postscript in acrobat and let it throug distiller again. after imported the redistilled pdf , no distortion but what I really want to...

Re: outlined text pdf gets distorted I've used an Enfocus action list to "remove opi" and made a new certified pdf with Acrobat. The new pdf of the original one now doesn't have OPI, but when I use 'export pdf' in Indesign having placed it, the outlined text is still garbled. So I guess it's...

Re: outlined text pdf gets distorted So if OPI instructions are the reason why the outlned text (with no fonts in it) get distorted, how can I use Acrobat to remove it? I've already looked at the PDF optimizer but couldn't find anything like "remove opi"

Re: outlined text pdf gets distorted no text? ;-)

Re: outlined text pdf gets distorted I saved the pdf in Acrobat as postscript and put it through Distiller to make a new pdf. Then imported that one in Indesign, exported again and the outlined text is now ok. But I'm curious what setting could cause this distortion in the original pdf? Some...

I've received a pdf which is made by Quark 5 and Distiller 7 for mac (according to Acrobat). When I place this pdf in an Indesign document (it's an add) and export the new page (with page numbering etc.) as a pdf, this outlined text gets distorted. It becomes a combination of normal outlined...
