What is the best way to prepare a pdf of 2 colors for printing?

Hello

I'm a book printed in 2 spot colours, black and orange, as you can see below.

I am making images in Photoshop and then recording the 2 layers as in grayscale TIFF images that I can layer in InDesign using the multiplier effect. I use a shade of color, then make the background orange.

The problem is this, printers that I use asked to export it to PDF / X-3: 2002, but when I do this the black lines are lost. I wonder if there is a better way to prepare the image for printing? Someone recommended save each layer as a bitmap 300 dpi for me but the quality is not always look great.

Does anyone have advice? I hope this makes some sense!

Thank you

Dan

In Acrobat 9, it is under Advanced > print > overview of the release. Probably the same in version 10.

  • What is the best way to make a PDF file several Photoshop images, while maintaining editable layers?

    What is the best way to make a PDF file several Photoshop images, while retaining the layers in editable for later use mode? I tried to do in Acrobat, but it does not keep separate layers. I also tried to automate the PDF presentation in Photoshop, but it combines the layers as well. I need to enable layers from photoshop retain their ability to be edited.

    It is not possible at this time, Photoshop is not a page layout program and pdf is hardly a format suitable to hold several files psd layered or editable page layouts.

    Why would you do that anyway?

  • What is the best way to always increment at index 0 only for an array of multiple elements?

    The principle is to complete a worksheet of left right in the same line but the increment of the column letter only (IE - B4 and C4 etc.). Herewith, I adapted an existing example VI that works for an array of 2 elements (ie - B4) but does not work for a 3-element array (ie - B40, B50 becomes). Keeping simple, what is the best way easier to modify my existing code to always check that the size of the table and the index automatically return to 0 to correctly increment the first letter only (IE - B) and not the number (IE - 4)?

    Thank you!

    Barry

    Instead of 'index automatically to zero', why not just make a zero instead of the size of table manipulation-1-1?

    Of course it will all fall apart once you get to column Z.

    Also look into the Board of Excel.   Do not post question.  This is just a link to the other discussions related to Excel.  Some of them might give you ideas how to manipulate your cell references.

    If you have the full Acrobat product, you can insert pages from one PDF to another, but the PDF file may be violating, cross-references and Hypertext.

    I do regularly this page inserts and replacements when cleaning old manuals only under analysis in PDF with OCR.

    I wouldn't do with a PDF manual that is generated, even if the reposting took hours.

  • What is the best way to prepare a PS file for use in InDesign

    Someone at - it a ultimate list of best practices that relate to what should be done with a PS file that is intended for use in InDesign and then for offset printing? Top of page question I have, is whether or not I should reduce to about the size that it will serve to (for now the PS files are much, much larger that they should do). But I wonder also how many things I have not even thought about it yet.

    In addition to sharpness, you will need to ensure accurate COLOR. (CMYK) - If you already have a proven workflow, then you already have a decent oven CMYK, so you will be happy with the final printed result. If not, then ask your printer (or whoever's doing the plates) to make tests loose specific colors of CMYK images. This can save you various kinds of nightmares later.

  • What is the best way to collect newspapers to send to Vmware

    I have ESXi 4.1

    I recently sent newspapers in support, on request, after we have a host to freeze on us.

    They responded back that newspapers have not capture anything because a restart updated newspapers and only a syslog would be able to provide clues before a crash.

    Is it true because it's strange that newspapers would be destroyed after a reboot.

    The syslog offers a challenge because we cannot control the level of gravity on the host, so we threw ourselves with a lot of useless information.

    We need the newspapers to find out why our guests are crashing and requiring us to restart.  On one occasion, we do not have vmotion virtual machines to another host.

    Once we did it, but the host did not until we rebooted it.

    What is the best way to collect newspapers send it to vmware for analysis?

    Thank you

    Falcone

    On ESXi, if you create a partition important stripe, yes the newspapers would disappear on reboot.

    Syslog is the right way to enter it.

  • What is the best way of reformatting my MacBook ssd for resale?

    I'm preparing my 2015 12 '' MacBook 1.3 GHz 512 for resale.  What is the best way to erase and reformat the SSD drive?

    Thanks in advance!

    -jag

    Before you sell or give away your computer, and more the steps listed in this article to support, please follow these steps:

    1. run the Diagnostics from Apple or the Apple Hardware Test. The buyer will do (or it should), and you won't be surprised by the results.

    2. reset the PRAM and the SMC, which may contain personal information.

    3. If you set a firmware password, remove it by running the utility in recovery mode firmware password.

    4. If you turn on FileVault in OS X 10.7 or later, turn it off.

    5. If you use Boot Camp, the partition must be deleted.

    6. If you have created another partition of data on internal disk, remove them in disk utility.

    7. If the machine has an internal hard drive, erase the remaining data partition with the possibility of putting the data to zero. An SSD has no need to be set to zero.

    8. remove the machine from your list of registered products. If it is still covered by an AppleCare Protection Plan, transfer the warranty to the new owner as described in the terms and Conditions AppleCare (under the heading "Transfer of Plan.")

    Note also:

    You can legally or transfer almost any software downloaded from the Mac App Store to the new owner of the machine, even if it was free. This includes OS X, so if you've switched to OS X 10.7 or later, you need to reinstall an operating system older, either from the installation media, if any, or by commissioning in recovery mode of the Internet (option-command-R start ringing.)

    The new owner will have to re-download everything software that came on the App Store, as appropriate, including updates of OS X, under her Apple ID. If you never updated applications bundled iLife (iPhoto, iMovie and Garage Band) through the App Store, you can not transfer these either. The buyer must buy them. Note that iPhoto has been suspended and is no longer available for purchase.

  • What is the best way to place the image (with legend) in a book?

    I am preparing a model for an encyclopedia project, the encyclopedia will be in addition to 10000 pages, so what is the best way to place the images (Photos, graphic illustration,... etc) with a legend?

    The problem that when I change the text; the image does not move with it, and when I place it in the text, it is difficult to control text flow.

    Please help

    I think so, but it can be a little weird, if the position of the anchor is on the second page of a two page spread. Really, I jumped in to suggest the image and the legend of consolidation before anchoring.

  • What is the best way to buy an iPhone Unlocked 7?

    Hi all

    I am currently using T-Mobile and want to get the new iPhone 7. Since there is no option for a sim-free iPhone, what is the best way to buy the new iPhone? Should I get the T-Mobile one full fare? I know that he will be released version but it will come with a T-Mobile sim so what will do with the sim card? Put it away or give it to T-Mobile? Or should I wait for the version without card sim to appear, which I don't think that will come out until November, and I don't want to wait that long.

    Thank you in advance.

    If you do not want to wait to pay full price for the model from T-Mobile.  You can do whatever you want with the SIM card.

    Archive messages or move them to some other local mailboxes or mailboxes on the server. Don't know what you are trying to do because it appears that you have 2/3 of your hard disk.

    Why do you think archiving emails in 2 places? Where are you trying to save space to?
