2 From the Highlight menu, choose the kind of areas you want to highlight. The availability of options depends on

the content of the artwork.

3 Select the flattening settings you want to use: Either choose a preset or, if available, set specific options.

Note: (Illustrator) If the flattening settings aren’t visible, select Show Options from the panel menu to display them.

4 If the artwork contains overprinted objects that interact with transparent objects, in Illustrator, select an option from

the Overprints menu. You can preserve, simulate, or discard overprints. In Acrobat, choose Preserve Overprint to

blend the color of transparent artwork with the background color to create an overprint effect.

5 At any time, click Refresh to display a fresh preview version based on your settings. Depending on the complexity

of the artwork, you may need to wait a few seconds for the preview image to appear. In InDesign, you can also choose

Auto Refresh Highlight.

In Illustrator and Acrobat, to magnify the preview, click in the preview area. To zoom out, Alt-click/Option-click in

the preview area. To pan the preview, hold down the spacebar and drag in the preview area.

Transparency Flattener options

You can set Transparency Flattener options when creating, editing, or previewing flattener presets in Illustrator,

InDesign, or Acrobat.

Highlight (preview) options

None (Color Preview) Disables previewing.

Rasterized Complex Regions Highlights the areas that will be rasterized for performance reasons (as determined by the

Rasters/Vectors slider). Keep in mind that the boundary of the highlight area has a higher probability of producing

stitching problems (depending on the print-driver settings and the rasterization resolution). To minimize stitching

problems, select Clip Complex Regions.

Transparent Objects Highlights the objects that are sources of transparency, such as objects with partial opacity

(including images with alpha channels), objects with blending modes, and objects with opacity masks. In addition, note

that styles and effects may contain transparency, and overprinted objects may be treated as sources of transparency if

they are involved in transparency or if the overprint needs to be flattened.

All Affected Objects Highlights all objects that are involved in transparency, including transparent objects and objects

that are overlapped by transparent objects. The highlighted objects will be affected by the flattening process—their

strokes or patterns will be expanded, portions of them may get rasterized, and so on.

Affected Linked EPS Files (Illustrator only) Highlights all linked EPS files that are affected by transparency.

Affected Graphics (InDesign only) Highlights all placed content affected by transparency or transparency effects. This

option is useful for service providers who need to see graphics that require attention to print properly.

Expanded Patterns (Illustrator and Acrobat) Highlights all patterns that will be expanded if involved in transparency.

Outlined Strokes Highlights all strokes that will be outlined if involved in transparency or because Convert All Strokes

To Outlines is selected.

Outlined Text (Illustrator and InDesign) Highlights all text that will be outlined if involved in transparency or because

Conve rt All Text To Outlines is selected.

Note: In the final output, outlined strokes and text may appear slightly different from native ones, especially very thin

strokes and very small text. However, the Flattener Preview doesn’t highlight this altered appearance.

Raster-Fill Text And Strokes (InDesign only) Highlights text and strokes that have rasterized fills as a result of flattening.
