One of those days.
Illustrator CC 2014
Customer supplied .ai file
Setting up a folder for print. I've converted the Die lines to a Spot Colour called 'Cutter Guide' It's set as a Spot Colour using CMYK Alternatives as 100% Magenta. Document is CMYK.
Now, when I check Separations Preview and untick Cutter Guide - Nothing changes. It doesn't disappear like you would expect. Now, when you output this as a PDFX everything that's in 'Cutter Guide' disappears. ie. No Spot Plate in Acrobat Pro Output Preview, and no strokes.
I feel like there is a bug where as this is being recognised as CMYK and I would say 'Non-printing' during output. There isn't a 'Non-printing' in Illy like there is in Indy, right?
