PDF Overprint Preview

[lynnic]

Does anyone know of a way to save a lo res pdf that will automatically show overprint preview? Many of our customers don't know how to turn this feature on in Acrobat. More importantly I want to be able to see things like white overprints (BAD) automatically and have them print with this feature on.

Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance,

Lynn

Recent versions of Adobe Reader or Acrobat will by default show overprint preview for PDF/X files (of course, PDF/X-4 is preferred! ). Thus is you sent a PDF/X file, regardless of image resolution, to your customers and they have not changed the default preferences to not use overprint preview automatically with PDF/X file, you and your customer will get what you desire.

Lynn, have a look at this recent topic thread (the discussion on overprinting was an offshoot of the original post):

Thank you Gentlemen!
Dov, I tried PDF/X-4 but it did not give me the correct results. I am using Acrobat Pro DC
Stephen, the only site I see for download is in German.

Foreign sites can be translated or one can “play roulette” with the download links, you may get lucky. There were two pages of discussion lynnic which I believe is worth reviewing. However if you are simply after a download over information, then here are the links from that topic thread taken out of context:

I feel your pain Lynn. We run into this issue from time to time. We have a client that expects to properly view our PDFs with Preview. Aye carumba! The PDF/X idea from Dov sounded good to me. What was the issue when you tried that?

The problem is of course that Preview does not “preview” overprints! :]
