Rich Black, or both. To change the highlight color for the warnings, click
the swatch next to the warning, and select a new color from the swatch
menu that appears.
The Overprinting warning highlights areas affected by some blending
modes, and areas that have been set to overprint. Overprinting, such as
black text overprinting a color area, is not necessarily a problem. But in
the example document, the white logo at the lower right will disappear
during imaging because it is set to overprint. This will have to be fixed
before output.
Color Warnings/Overprinting
Unintended overprint aributes can produce unwanted color combinations or cause objects
to disappear when output. In this example, the white Aquo logo appears correct in normal
view (top, le), but disappears when Simulate Overprinting is turned on in the Output
Preview panel (top, center). is represents how the logo will actually output. To nd other
overprinting elements, select the Color Warnings option (le), and click the color block to
choose a highlight color. Overprinting isn’t always a problem, such as black overprinting text
and the black rectangle (top, right). But this is a warning that the white Aquo logo will not
print correctly; the white areas of the logo will disappear when the le is printed.
The Rich Black warning highlights areas that will print as rich black; that
is, solid process black mixed with any underlying color inks for
increased opacity and richer color. While this doesn’t always indicate a
problem (in fact, it’s desirable to use a rich black build in large areas), it’s
helpful to identify rich black areas in case you need to modify your trap
settingsfor example, to perform pullbacks or keepaways (choking
back on the cyan, magenta, and yellow to avoid registration problems)
on reverse type within the rich black areas. New in Acrobat X Pro is the
Start Cutoff value, which allows you to set a threshold value of black to
be used in determining if an area is defined as Rich Black. Areas
containing the threshold percentage of black plus any non-zero value
for cyan, magenta or yellow will trigger the Rich Black warning.
WarningsRich Black
To view black areas that also include other colors, select the Rich Black option. Click the
small color block to change the highlight color used by Acrobat to indicate rich black areas.
Rich blacks aren’t necessarily a problem, but it’s helpful to highlight such areas in case
trapping will require special handling, such as creating pullbacks in areas of reverse type or
other art. Here, magenta highlights rich black areas.
Object Inspector
The Object Inspector displays extensive information about the area
directly underneath where the user has clicked. Choose the Object
Inspector option under Preview in the Output Preview panel, and click
anywhere in the displayed PDF. The Object Inspector window displays
available information for the cursor position. If you click on an image,
resolution, color space, dimensions, and rendering intent are listed. If
you click on a filled object, the color and overprint status are displayed.
