Hi, any help on this gratefully received!
I have a brochure page in which I need to do a white on white silhouette of a map with a pantone metallic (877c) drop shadow to show the edges. I used a Photoshop (CS2) file with a transparent background and plain white block colour for the map.
I then import this to Indesign (CS2) and use the direct selection tool to select then I placed a drop shadow around the edge of the layer. Then export using pass4press or Press Quality pdf settings.
Interestingly this shows up fine when viewed in Acrobat and if you use output preview it shows the spot plate and the various percentages of the shadowing.
However, this will not print on either postscript or even inkjet printers etc. My repro company also have the same problem.
Has anyone encountered this? Next stage is sending to the printers to try and get a 'wet proof' which they will no doubt charge for!
Many thanks
Simon
