1. Re: Why "Save as Tiff" does not carry forward the Overprint Settings?
Steve Werner Aug 4, 2009 5:51 AM (in response to colourit2000)TIFF is a bitmapped format which has no concept of overprinting. Overprinting is a PostScript attribute usually applied to vector objects.

colourit2000 Aug 4, 2009 4:57 PM (in response to Steve Werner)Thank you, Steve.
Just for discussion, Acrobat 7 doest not keep the Black overprint after converting to Tiff but Acrobat 8 does keep the Black overprint (too bad does not apply to Spot Color yet) after converting to Tiff. It shows that it can be done on Tiff too although it is not a PostScript format.
I need this feature to convert PDF to Tiff, is there any way to keep the overprint as the PDF?
Thanks!

Steve Werner Aug 4, 2009 5:55 PM (in response to colourit2000)It would probably help if you'd share WHY you want to retain the appearance of the overprinting in a TIFF file. The TIFF doesn't really retain the overprinting, it just takes on the appearance of the objects from which it was made.
If it works for you in Acrobat 8, what's the problem? You need to upgrade. Acrobat 7 is several years old, and will never be updated.

I need to convert the PDF to Tiff before I send them to inkjet proofer. Tiff is always much safer than PDF, because the rip may interpret them in different ways.
As I mentioned, Acrobat 8 can only take care of Black overprint but not other colors such as Spot Colors. So it does not make much difference from Acrobat 7.
