Grouping separations

The Separation Control window displays the separation information contained in the PDF file.

Correct separation information contains at least four process color separations and, if applicable, separations for spot colors for each page.

Separation control shows separation data for composite PDFs as well.

You can correct faulty information by grouping separations belonging together to pages.

To group separations properly, mark all the separations that are to belong to one page.

Click "Regroup".

You now have the page made up of the correct separations and you can now convert it to a compos­ite. Click "Composite" to do this.

Use the same procedure to correct faulty groups.

 

Go To Page

For a better overview of the interdependencies between the pages you can view each page of the PDF file.

Highlight the page or separation and click “Go To Page”.

 

Automatic

A PDF document can have incorrectly separated pages. You can use "Automatic" to work around this error.

"Automatic" is enabled if each page is reported as a single composite PDF. Through the automatic function, the colors of a page up to the first repetitive color are then regrouped to a new page.

Let's say you have an incorrectly separated PDF. Separation Control shows you the following result:

Click "Automatic". The following result displays:
