Question

Save as PDF feature creates extra frame around the tables

I am creating a large catalog with black + 1PMS color.

If I use the Save As PDF feature in Frame 9, I get an extra line around the Price portion of MOST (not all) of my tables.  If I use the Distiller process, the extra line is not there, but the PDF file does not hold the color separations.

Has anyone else come across these issues or have any ideas what I could be doing wrong?

Thank you,

    Is your version of 9 fully patched? I believe the released updates have addressed some of the problems with SaveAs...

    Also, I'd try Distilling using the Press Job Options -- I'm remembering that they're set up better for separations, but it's been a couple years and a different version since I had to use them.

    I have all of the patches uploaded - through 9.0.3.  I hoped that would take care of it, but it hasn't helped that issue.

    I tried the Press job option, but it doesn't hold the color separations.  It is still converting everything to CMYK colors even though I only have black as my process color and Pantone 294 as my spot color.

    Any other ideas I could try?

    Thank you for such a quick response.

    Sorry, not off the top of my head. I'll defer to Arnis, the forum moderator, who has more depth in CMYK than I do.

    You may want to do a more extensive search for CMYK topics though -- I know it's been discussed before, and may pop in the archives while you wait for him to come online...
