- Create a refine process template that has trapping enabled. Do not change the default trapping settings.
For more information about these settings, see the recommended readings. - Save the refine process template with a unique name—for example, YourNameRefineandTrap.
- Submit PDF input files to the new refine and trap process template. The required files are provided in the Task-Oriented Activities\Activity 13 folder:
- NoCurves.pdf
- EditProperties.pdf
- ComplexBitmap.pdf
- OpaqueInks.pdf
- RichBlack.pdf
- DoubleHit.pdf
- Open the resulting trapped PDF pages in Acrobat and view the traps using the PDF Trap Editor plug-in.
- Compare these trapping results to those achieved by manual trapping with the PDF Trap Editor plug-in.
- Experiment with how the View Accelerator and Separation Viewer plug-ins affect how you can view files in Acrobat. See whether your experiments conform with the statements below.
Viewer comparisons
- Separation Viewer and Acrobat can be used with any PDF file.
- Prinergy Virtual Proofing System software will open only PRV preview files that have been output by Prinergy systems.
Benefits of using the Separation Viewer plug-in
- You can see which spot colors are used in the file, and where they used.
- You can quickly check your PDF file without the additional step of outputting preview files.
Benefits of using Prinergy Virtual Proofing System software
- You can see which spot colors are used in the file, and where they used.
- You can see the result of rendering and screening by Prinergy Evo, which is the same processor that will render and output to high-resolution devices.
- You can check that imposition geometry is properly applied.
- You can check that check color separations are correct.
- You can view a low-resolution version of your high-resolution imposition, so file sizes are manageable.
