Convert Colors: Using Ink Manager for Permanent Ink

Mappings

To make Ink Manager choices permanent, use the Convert Colors

function. You can make the desired choices in Ink Manager before

opening the Convert Colors dialog, or launch Ink Manager from within

the Convert Colors dialog, with the same outcome. The Ink Manager

itself performs the same functions however you launch it, but Convert

Colors finalizes the choices made in Ink Manager.

Once you’ve made the choices in Ink Manager, notice that the Ink

Manager choices are reflected in the Document Colors window at the

top of the dialog. Double-check the ink mappings, and click the Add

button to add the Ink Manager instructions to the list of color

conversions to be performed. The Convert Color operations are

performed in the order listed, so you may need to use the Move Up or

Move Down buttons to ensure that the operations are performed in the

correct order. Note that you can save and load color conversion setups

for common corrections, which might help your customers correct

common problems before they submit PDFs for print.

Once you have chosen all the desired options in the Convert Colors

dialog, click OK. Acrobat displays an alert cautioning you that this

operation cannot be undone. Click the Yes button, and save the file

(with a new name, if you wish to keep the original file unchanged).

Convert Colors Alert

Because the Convert Colors function causes permanent changes to a PDF, you are warned

that a Convert Colors operation cannot be undone. However, you can choose File > Revert to

return to the original state of the PDF, or close the document without saving it.

The Set Page Boxes feature replaces the Crop Pages tool found in the

Print Production toolbar in previous versions of Acrobat. The Crop Tool

previously available under the Advanced Editing menu is now found in

the Pages tasks in the Tool pane; its function is identical to that of the

Set Pages tool. With this function, you can establish new measurements

for the Crop, Art, Trim, and Bleed boxes in a PDF. While cropping does

not change the actual content of the PDF (since content is not actually

deleted), the changed measurements are recognized when printing the

PDF from Acrobat or placing the PDF as content in InDesign or

Illustrator. Some applications, however, may ignore the change to page

box definition.

You can also use the Set Page Boxes feature to change the position of

the CropBox, ArtBox, TrimBox and BleedBox definitions. Choose the

appropriate box from the pulldown menu, and enter the offset value in

the Margin Controls section of the dialog.

To increase the dimensions of the page, use the Change Page Size

options in the Set Page Boxes dialog. Unlike the Crop function,

increasing the page dimensions actually does permanently change the

dimensions of the document.

Options

You can use the Set Pages dialog box to define boundaries for trim,

bleed, and art for your document.

•Show Boxes: Previews properties of CropBox, ArtBox, TrimBox, and

BleedBox in a thumbnail; deselect this option and display just a single

box at a time, using the pop-up menu below the Show All Boxes

option. e dialog box previews each selected property as a dier-

ently colored box with its dimensions at the boom. (To see these

indicators all the time, you can turn them on in Preferences > Page

Display.)
