map the two colors with a single alias

[valerios27574466]

Good morning,

I ask if Illustrator gives the same possibility as InDesign,
To combine two colors together as per the image that I attach.

It is used by the hot gold printer to be able to register,
A film with a trace of die and gold.

I use the following way:

From Illustrator I create a separate PDF,
Then I always edit the gold pdf in the illustrator
Together with the die, then I recreate another pdf,
Which I will use to make films.

(Buongiorno,

Chiedo se Illustrator dà la stessa possibilità di InDesign,
Di unire due colori insieme come da immagine che allego.

Serve allo stampatore dell’oro a caldo per poter andare a registro,
Una pellicola con la traccia di fustella e l’oro.

Utilizzo il seguente modo:

Da Illustrator creo un pdf in separazione,
Poi sempre in illustrator faccio il montaggio del pdf dell’oro
Insieme alla fustella, poi ricreo un altro pdf,
Che utilizzerò per farmi le pellicole.)

No, I don't think you can.

You can place the PDF into InDesign where you can map colors using the Ink Manager and export to a new PDF, or you can use an Acrobat Preflight Profile to map or re-name spot colors. (duplicate an existing profile to make your own custom profile), if you do this a lot, you can add the profile to an Acrobat action using the Action Wizard.

Alternately, you can use separate Illustrator layers for the dieline, Gold and image.

Thanks, I thought that in illustrator I could do the same thing ...
