We need this for reliable printing, too. |
|
|
As long as transparencies are not flattened for PDFX3, the preflight verifier could / should warn for each object having some transparency : "warning, transparency in object, printing will not be accurate." |
|
|
yep, many people don't know about transparency and PDF flavour and even many graphic designer don't consider drop shadow or things like that as transparency? Having things made clearer on this subject would be good as well as implement a flattener. |
|
|
I was not aware of drop shadows not being flattened. Is resolution also an issue? When I sent a PDFX3 to a commercial printer, they rejected it with the following note from their designer, "The drop shadows are flagging as low resolution. The ad was built in Scribus, and I have no idea what that is. Normally when I encounter this problem, it’s an issue with flattening transparency and making sure that rasterization is high resolution." |

@demurish, please open a ticket for this and attach the .sla and .pdf file (if possible; if you mark the ticket as private, only the devs can see it) |
