Adobe Creative Suite 5 Printing Guide 52

•Communicate any special circumstances, including custom-nishing

such as embossing, foil-stamping, spot varnishes, complicated folding,

or custom binding.

Preparing files containing transparency

For a detailed resource on imaging files containing transparency, see

“Transparency in Adobe Applications: A Print Production Guide” (http://

www.adobe.com/go/learn_transparency_print_en). The transparency

guide is useful for you as a print service provider, and can also serve as

a very helpful reference for your customers as they prepare their files.

Here are some general guidelines:

•Don’t aen transparency unnecessarily or prematurely. Keeping

transparency live means that you can take advantage of more modern

workows such as those using the Adobe PDF Print Engine. us,

don’t aen Photoshop leskeep layers intact. Save Illustrator les

as native Illustrator (.ai) rather than as EPS les.

•Don’t use transparency unnecessarily: for example, to create a 20%

black tint, don’t apply 20% opacity to a solid black frame; instead,

create and apply a swatch that’s a 20% tint of black.

•If possible, place text at the top of stacking order, or on a top layer, to

eliminate any possibility that type will be converted to outlines during

transparency aening.

For more on handling transparency in customer files, see “Common

Resources” chapter in this document.

Packaging a Job

In previous versions of InDesign, activating the Package function would

automatically perform a preflight. Now that Preflight is dynamic, the

Package function does not perform preflight as a separate operation; it

just displays the current results of preflighting in the Package dialog.

This series of screens will look familiar to users of earlier versions: they

are the same screens as seen in Preflight in previous versions of

InDesign.

To use the Package function, choose File > Package. InDesign displays a

summary overview describing the state of the document, incorporating

any problems that have been found by Preflight. Any problems are

highlighted with yellow alert triangles. To see more detail for each topic,

select from the list in the left column of the Package dialog box.

The Summary screen provides a quick overview of potential issues you

might wish to resolve before packaging the job.

Summary Screen

e Summary screen displays an overview of the le’s aributes, highlighting problem areas

with yellow alert triangles. Click a topic name to see more detail on that topic.

The Fonts screen lists fonts used in the document (including fonts

needed by placed artwork), and identifies font formats used (such as

OpenType, TrueType, or Type 1) and their status (OK, Missing, or

Protected). Select a font name from the list, and the Current Font area

displays the directory path to the font file itself, and indicates the page

on which the font is first used.
