using only one color space on the page. It can also be used if the
transparent objects do not interfere with other color objects.
2
Complete area This option will render transparent objects
and all of the objects that touch them. We suggest this setting when
the transparent objects interfere with other non-transparent objects
that use different color modes.
3
Entire page This setting will render the entire page if it con-
tains any transparent objects.
Color mode (J)
This option specifies the color space that will be
used when rendering transparent areas.
Note: This feature is not available if Convert all colors to is acti-
vated. If Convert all colors to is active, then the global color mode is
used.
Halftone settings
Checking the Specify halftone setting will allow you to store halftone
information inside the PDF document. If you do not specify these set-
tings, then custom halftone information will not be applied to a docu-
ment. The halftone setting of the output device will be used when
printing your PDF.
Note: Some output devices may override these settings with their
own default settings. You should contact the manufacturer of the
device to learn how to disable this option for the printer or device that
you are using. Doing so will ensure that your custom PDF options
will be used.
The available halftone settings are:
Shape (K)
This setting specifies the shape of the halftone dots. Each
shape is defined by a simple function as is described in the PDF (and
PostScript) documentation.
LPI and Angle (L)
This setting specifies the halftone grid. LPI
defines the density of the grid (in Lines Per Inch) while Angle defines
orientation of the grid.
Save these settings as default (M)
If checked, the current settings
will be saved into the Canvas settings file. They will also become the
default settings for each new .PDF document.
If needed, you may click the Default button to restore the default set-
tings from the settings file
Shape options drop-down
menu is available within the
Specify halftone settings
section of the PDF Options
dialog box.
