PDF Assistant Separation Control

PDF Assistant Separation Control

With Separation Control you can view and, if necessary, edit the separation information of PDF files containing separated pages.

The separation information shows you the separated pages assigned to a composite page. Unfortu­nately, separation information in a PDF file is often incorrect or is missing entirely. One of the most frequent separation information errors is the definition of individual color separations as  a composite page.

Separation Control lets you group separation pages belonging together, edit existing groups, or create a pseudo composite. To do so, the program places several pages on top of each other, thus creating the resemblance of a composite page. You can use this simulation to verify the correct assignment of individual separated pages. However, you can also save the pseudo composite file and integrate it in a composite workflow.

Note: Color Management or trapping is not possible for pseudo composite files.

You can use Separation Control to create separation information not available in an already sepa­rated PDF file.
