Hi everbody.
I wonder if is possible export pdf without overprints.
Sometimes there is files with overpints, and I is so hard detect it
I use acrobat 6 (pdf 1.5)
I'm curious why you would want to do this.
Also, clicking on simulate overprint in output preview isn't all that hard.
I don't think it is possible. I know I have a process plan when it rips a pdf it sets all colors to knock out. Not much help if your rip system can't do that :)
You could remove all the overprint after the file has been exported in a tool like PitStop.
Bear in mind though this could effect transparency so you need to be wary.
I also am curious why you want to do this?

Sure...set everything you don't want to overprint as knockout. PDF export should honor it.

In my work, I use usually Illustrator and CorelDraw.
When I want export pdf files, this app has an option for disregard overprints, but I wonder if Illustrator has this option too.
The reason is because designers sometimes put overprint white color or maybe other color and don't understand the problem this can produce.

The solution to your problem is for you to understand why we do overprint and knockout in our design. Then ask your boss to buy relevant application and send you to training :-)

Use enfocus pitstop to fix white overprints.
If you have blue text on a red background and you want to intentionally create purple text, you overprint. Removing that purposeful overprint creates a spoilage.
Don't solve one problem with a fix that creates another.
Use Simulate Overprint to show up any problems, Screendump and send that to the designer asking for revised artwork.
