Overprint preview activate by default in Acrobat

[VÍCTOR MARTÍ]

Hi to all, I would like to initiate a request for the ACROBAT developers to consider activating by default the option "overprint preview" in all acrobat versions.

Thanks !

Hola a todos, me gustaría iniciar una petición a los desarrolladores de ACROBAT para que la opción "visualizar sobreimpresión" esta activa por defecto en todas las versiones de ACROBAT.

Gracias !

Consider saving always as PDF/X, which enables this by default.

Thanks for your quick answer but I think that if there are 4 options in this preference:

• Only PDF-x
• Always
• Automatic
• Never

was be more safe that "always" should be the first by default and not "only PDF-X", please consider it. Thanks

I was suggesting that you, as a document creator, can make it more likely today by creating PDF/X.

You may suggest this (posting doesn't make an official suggestion) but I suspect there may be strong reasons for this default. If you are making PDF files for general consumption, rather than prepress, it's important to make ones that don't need overprint preview, because most people no longer view with Adobe technology anyway.

Overprint preview is mainly needed if documents have transparency flattened. So don't do that, either... hence, PDF/X-4 not PDF/X-1a or PDF/X-3.

Well, I dont think the same about PDF/X because with this option everything flattens out and the images break into a thousand pieces, the PDF is useless for further works by this way. Sorry but its not and optión for me. Its more simple activate by default the overprint-preview for all PDFs types because only by this way everyone will be able to see the PDFs as it really is.

PDF/X-1a and PDF/X-3 will certainly flatten, by design. That's why I said PDF/X-4.
