| Summary | 0007526: Preflight Verifier: report black text that is not overprinted | ||||
| Description | If this is of interest, I can provide a patch as I have implemented this check -- after having missed knocked-out black text, only seeing it after getting the result from the print service :-) | ||||
| Tags | overprint, PreflightChecker | ||||

Not sure this is the best thing to do as overprint is currently defined at the frame level. And frame style is insufficient to determine text color as text color can be directly applied inside frame. And checking a long text can be slow....... I think an 'Overprint black text' option enabled by default in pdf export dialog would be more appropriate. |
|
|
Yes, I realize this caveat. But implementing the preflight check was easier than messing with the PDF export :-) Also, I do check the text character by character. The speed is okay in the usual case. BTW, you say "overprint is currently defined at the frame level" -- so this is going to change? That would be a nice improvement. Anyway, feel free to close this issue if the feature is not wanted. I'll use it anyway :-) |

>> BTW, you say "overprint is currently defined at the frame level" -- so this is going to change? That's not planned, defining overprint at color level, as XPress does it, lead to too many errors |
|
|
What about having the overprint/knockout choice not for the frame, but for each of fill/line/text fill/text outline, with the latter two belonging to the character style? |
|
|
Same, big risk of errors, change the character style color, forget to disable overprint and you're done. I really think overprint should be handled as automatically as possible. |

I see your point; you're probably right. |
|
|
jghali: so conclusion is? |
|
|
That this issue should not be fixed by modifying preflight checker but by adding functionality to ps/pdf exporters. |
