Adobe Creative Suite 5 Printing Guide 38
•Transparent Objects: Highlights objects that use transparency. It
doesn’t indicate any of the possible results of aening.
•All Aected Objects: Highlights both objects that use transparency
and objects that must be aened because they interact with the
objects that use transparency. is seing does not indicate aening
results, but it’s useful because it indicates all objects that could poten-
tially be aened.
•Aected Graphics: Highlights images that will be aened, but not
eects or non-image objects (such as vector drawings). is seing is
especially useful for OPI workows, because the highlighted images
are the ones that must be swapped with high-resolution versions at
output time in order to aen properly. If an image isn’t highlighted,
you don’t need to be concerned about aening it in an OPI workow.
You can use this seing together with the Info panel to verify the
resolution of any highlighted images.
•Outlined Strokes: Highlights which strokes will be slightly thicker
when aened. Sometimes strokes are converted into lled areas of
the same width to recreate a transparent eect when aened. ese
areas may appear thicker because some RIPs process strokes dier-
ently than lled shapes, but the eect is usually not visible on device
resolutions above 1200 dpi. If you are printing on a device below 1200
dpi and this feature highlights many objects on a page, you can make
all strokes appear consistent by applying a preset where Convert All
Strokes To Outlines is turned on.
•Outlined Text: Highlights which type characters will be converted to
outlines under the currently applied transparency aener preset.
Characters become slightly thicker when converted to outlines, but
the eect may not be visible on device resolutions above 1200 dpi. If
you are printing on a device below 1200 dpi and this feature highlights
many characters on a page, you can make all text appear consistent by
applying a preset where Convert All Text To Outlines is turned on.
•Raster-ll Text and Strokes: Highlights text or strokes that may be
aected by RIPs that record continuous-tone (CT) objects at a dierent
resolution than linework (LW) objects. Aected objects are likely to
use transparency eects that create images, such as drop shadows or
feathered edges. You don’t need to use this option if you don’t have
this type of RIP, or if you have this type of RIP and its version has no
issues producing output of text or strokes with drop shadows and
feathers.
•All Rasterized Regions: Highlights all areas that will be rasterized
because of the current aener presetnot just complex regions. is
option involves rasterization of lls, not outlines, and the rasterized
lls are clipped to the original smooth outlines. Again, this view is
useful if you output to a RIP that processes CT and LW objects dier-
ently because it indicates which parts will appear on the CT page as a
result of aening. It also highlights objects that will be rasterized
when the Raster/Vector Balance uses a value less than 100. If many
areas are highlighted, you may want to consider using transparency
aener seings with the Raster/Vector Balance set to 100, or in-
crease the Line Art and Text Resolution if you set Raster/Vector Bal-
ance to less than 100. Note that it is extremely rare for text or vector
content to be rasterized in InDesign CS5/5.5, unless you have chosen a
very low value for the Raster/Vector Balance control.
Note: If you want to minimize the chance that text will be outlined, stack the text above
all other objects; for example, move it in front of other objects using Object > Arrange >
Bring to Front. If this can be done without changing the look of the design, it will prevent
the text characters from being aened by geing them out from under the transpar-
ency objects.
Select a flattener preset from the Preset pop-up menu. If Auto Refresh
Highlight is off, click Refresh to see the effect of the preset you selected.
To control preview refresh, do one of the following:
•Click the Refresh buon aer changing the Highlight or Preset seings.
•Select Auto Refresh Highlight to let InDesign refresh the display aer
you change Highlight or Preset seings.
