MS Office Forum / Publisher / Commercial Printing / July 2006pdf color separations
OK, I'll admit it. I'm one of those commercial printers that HATE Publisher. Unfortunately, we have to use it sometimes. Now, I'm having a problem printing PDF color seps. I can make grayscale and rgb composites pdf's, but when I try to do a sep or cmyk composite, it tries to actually print the thing, not make a file. There may be a few issues here, but I keep one virtual printer for these occasions, just a clone of an imagesetter we have local. Set up a new printer with port set to file.

Why not just make a RGB PDF, composite, and let the RIP handle the RGB to CMYK conversion? Or you could use some other program like Enfocus PitStop or Apago PDF Enhancer to fix the RGB problem, then RIP the job? Tools like these and others certainly make it a lot easier to handle jobs like these.
