Printing separate colors as PDF

[Dominic]

With my old versions (Office 2000, Acrobat Distiller 4) I can easily produce
print-films in different color layers.
With Office/Publisher 2003 an Acrobat Professional 6 it doesn't work
anymore. I can produce integrated RGB- or CMYK- Files, but no separated
color-layers.
Can anybody help me?

Tools > Commercial Print Tools > Color Printing has options for CMYK or
Pantone® seps, doesn't it?

Dear Mister Bennet
sorry, it's dominic again - I had to chance my net-account...
I tried all possible combinations.
Acrobat/PDF-Maker only processes combined RGB- or grayscale-Profiles. Even
if I define Pantone as Spot-Color, it will not produce seperate Color-Layers;
neither 2-color nor cymk.
I could imagine it's a question of the Acrobat-Settings that must fit for
MS-Publisher.
Thanx

Well, PagePlus would handle the seps quite well. (Just pretend I'm
Dave for this one...)


Blessed be, for sure...

As does Publisher.

You might also need to go to File > Print > Advanced Print Settings and
change the settings to Separations.
