If you are outputting separations, click the printer icon to the left of an ink name to suppress
printing for that color. In Composite mode, select the option to Simulate Overprinting to more
realistically render overprinting attributes, if you are printing to a device that does not natively
support overprint. Choose the appropriate Transparency Flattener preset. Note that frequency
and angle options will most likely be overridden by functions in the imaging device. Click the
Ink Manager button to remap spot colors or to convert spot colors to process for output.
2. In the Marks and Bleeds panel, select the marks you want to print. Choose from several styles
of marks—InDesign, Illustrator, and QuarkXPress. Include registration marks, color bars, and
page information.
3. In the PostScript Options panel, select the settings for your workflow. Consult the documenta-
tion for the printing device to determine the appropriate PostScript options for correct output.
4. In the Color Management panel, set options for handling color:
• Color Handling: Determines if color management is used and whether it happens in
the application or at the printing device.
• Acrobat color management: Enables you to select an ICC Profile that describes the
target output device.
• Printer Color Management: Sends the document's color data along with the docu-
ment profile directly to the printer and lets the printer convert the document to
the printer color space. The exact results of the color conversion can vary among
printers.
• Same as Source (No Color Management): Discards all color management informa-
tion and sends device color to the printer.
• Color Profile: Determines the profile used for handling colors during printing.
• Output Color: Specifies the output color based on the settings in the Output panel of
the Advanced Print Setup dialog box.
• Apply Output Preview Settings: Simulates the print space defined by the device
identified in the Simulation Profile menu of the Output Preview dialog box. (Choose
Advanced > Print Production > Output Preview.) This option allows you to simulate
the appearance of one device on another.
5. If you want to save the settings you've selected in the Advanced Print Setup dialog box, click
Save As, and then name the settings file. If you do not save the settings, Acrobat retains them
only as long as the document is open.
Click OK to close the Advanced Print Setup dialog box, and then click OK to print.
