Question:
How to show overprinting in PDF Source Files in Vault PromoMats and Medical?
Answer:
Flattening files before uploading them into Vault can avoid potential issues as flattening removes transparency information and converts images and text to a format that Vault can interpret and render.
At times, when a user attempts to flatten a document, the Print Preview window may not display any images or text, and Vault does not render the PDF Source File properly:
To solve this, users can enable the Simulate Overprinting option as follows:
- Open the PDF Source File in Acrobat
- Select File > Print
- Select Microsoft Print To PDF as the printer
- Open Advanced options.
- In the Output section, select Simulate Overprinting, and click OK.
- Print and save as a PDF copy to replace the Viewable Rendition in Vault.
