Acrobat CC doesn't show or print spot colours in a Photoshop PDF

When I open a Photoshop PDF, with a spot colour channel, in Acrobat CC 11.0.04, the spot colour doesn't show. But it shows when I click Output Preview (in Print Production). The colour doesn't print either. It also disappears when I convert it into CMYK (by checking the "Convert All Spots to Process" box in Ink Manager). I'm running Acrobat on OSX Mavericks.
Has anyone had similar problems?
Any help is appreciated.

Thank  you for your reply.
Indeed, I tried saving a PDF that had the "default appearance", it shows exactly the same. So it looks like it "can't" show the image.
However, of course, I do want the image to be shown. How can I achieve this? How can I tell Adobe Reader (and other PDF viewers) I really really realllyyyyy want to see that image there? I believe I'm not doing anything really exotic, right? There must have been tons of other people that wanted to do the same thing, I guess?

  • Acrobat X doesn't recognize network printer

    Trying to get Acrobat 10 Pro to recognize my new printer that I've connected to on my home network. Works just fine on my desktop, but it won't recognize the printer in Acrobat on my laptop.
    Laptop prints to new printer fine from other programs.
    Acrobat is still showing a printer that has been completely uninstalled from the laptop, but of course, not the one that has recently been installed.
    Details...
    Windows 7 64-bit
    Acrobat 10 Pro (newest upate... completely uninstalled, reinstalled and updated)
    Brand new Brother MFC-9970cdw printer with drivers installed properly from CD (uninstalled properly and reinstalled... three times)
    I've read tons of posts all over the internet and nothing answers this issue.
    PLEASE HELP!!
    Thanks.

    There seems  to be a problem related to installation/set up of printer device using Laptop. Kindly re-install the printer.

  • Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro is showing CMYK in spot color document

    Hi,
    I created a PDF using Adobe Illustrator CS4, and although I am only using 2 spot colors, both, Illustrator and Acrobat are showing CMYK plates in the Separations Preview and Output Preview. When I turn off the Spot plates, there is nothing in the document. Could you please help me figure out why is this happenning?
    Thanks

    Acrobat will always show the CMYK framework - even if there's no CMYK in there. You'll also notice that if the file contained RGB, calRGB, LAB etc - it also shows in the Output Preview as CMYK since it's in simulation mode (enough of that for now)!
    You might want to use the SHOW feature in Output Preview or even use a preflight profile to double check ...
    Cheers,
    Jon

  • Why Preview doesn't show always power terms (m^2 etc) in pdf?

    There is clear cap between letters but the number is missing.
    Like this one
    Between m an K should be a 2 but it has vanished for some reason. If I look same document with PC the power term is in it's right place.
    But sometimes it works. Like in this one:
    This is from same document but different page.
    And if power term is missing from a formula the answer will be wrong.
    I can not use this type of unreliable software. How can I fix this?

  • Adobe Acrobat CS3 doesn't scan anymore

    Hi,
    for a view weeks I reinstalled Adobe CS3 (8.3.1) on my Mac (Mavericks) again. The install works perfectly. But Acrobat doesn't show me the scan source by choosing "New PDF-file via Scanner".
    In a former installation it works fine.
    I installed my printer/scanner HP OfficeJet 6500 E709n, uninstalled and reinstalled it. No effect.
    With Mac OSX's Preview the scanning works.
    Do I need a TWAIN plugin? If yes, where can I download it?
    Regards and thanks,
    CK

    Yes, Acrobat 8 does not support Image Capture (ICA). Only way to scan using Acrobat is through TWAIN. Please contact HP to find out if they provide TWAIN driver for this scanner on Mavericks.
    Thanks

  • Bonjour Windows Doesn't show any printers

    Hi, i got the ePrint app on my iphone and am trying to set it up. It shows two ways to connect either through bonjour or an ip address. I have the ip but it doesn't work when i type it in. Bonjour loads up fine it just doesn't show my printer, below is my printer I was able to pull up all this relevant info.
    Network Printer Name: 520C85000000
    Bonjour Service Name: Canon MP560 series _520C85000000
    I went through the firewall and it shows that i have given bonjour access to pass through but it can't find my printer what do i do?

    Thank you. This has not solved the problem however. We followed the instructions to verify that it is finding the driver correctly. It is finding the correct driver for the printer.
    Once we had completed this Bonjour registered a printer, an HP Photosmart. We are working with an epson2200, and did not have any HP items selected or installed. While perhaps this is a step in the right direction (previously Bonjour showed no printers available...)
    Any other references you can think of that might help?
    Thank you Thank you. Much obliged.

  • Acrobat 8.1.2 crashes when checking/unchecking spot colour channels

    Hi there, just wondering if this situation is a bug with Acrobat or an issue with my machine/OSX?
    I have created PDFs by distilling and exporting. If I open the resulting PDFs in Acrobat 8.1.2 and open the colour seps panel and turn off colours - particularly spot colours, Acrobat unexpectedly quits. Everytime.
    My system is:
    24" intel iMac 4Gb Ram large HDD
    OSX.5.2
    Is anyone else having similar issues?
    I'm just off to create a new account to see if it still dioes it.
    Many thanks.
    Kind Regards
    Piers Le Sueur

    Thanks Jon,
    I've tried both.. trashing pref AND used IDCS3 - created a standard page added some items with spot colours and exported to PDF/X-1a:2001 as you suggested.
    I'm still getting the same issue.
    Incidentally - when you check seps - overprint automatically comes on by default. I'm not sure if you can view seps AND have overprint off...
    Anything else to try?
    Kind Regards

  • Reverse text out of spot colour?

    Hi there
    I have a block of over-printing spot colour out of which I would like to reverse some text. However, the block overlaps some other coloured objects and these must not have anything knocking out of them, meaning I can't just use the Paper swatch for the text. I can convert the text to outlines and punch it out of the block with the Pathfinder, but is there anyway of achieving the same effect while keeping the text editable?
    I'd appreciate any thoughts.

  • Save spot colours in Photoshop for import to Indesign

    I'm having problems in Indesign due to using drop shadows in some graphics which are over an image with transparencies. What I think would solve the problem is to remove the transparencies in the image using photoshop and then use that. However, the image has spot colours which is giving me headaches. I haven't found a way of importing the spot colours directly into photoshop from illustrator or whatever - they always seem to get converted to CMYK. However, I have managed to recreate the spot colour in Photoshop as a channel - so the file is CYMK+1spot channel. However, when I try to import the psd file into Indesign I get an error message "The file uses an unsupported colour space...". I have tried exporting as eps but that didn't work either. I have seen various help messages which seem to imply that you can import spot colours from photoshop - can someone suggest what I am doing wrong ? I use CS5.

    Besides saclint the image up, which reduces the "effective" resolution, do you have your display performance in ID set to High Quality Display? You are not looking at actual pixels in ID, just a jpeg preview, and that will also make a difference, and any edges which are not truly horizontal or vertical will always have some sort of stair-stepping in a pixel-based of the pixels to approximate the line, and this can become more noticeable whn you zoom in or when you scale upwards.

  • Acrobat 9 typewriter text doesn't show

    Acrobat 7 made me a big fan of the typewriter feature. Now that I've upgraded to Acrobat 9, I'm having problems with it. Suppose I add some typewriter text to a .pdf and save it. When I reopen the file, the typewriter text doesn't show. My text is there, but I can't see it. If I click my mouse in an area where I typed, the text comes up. I can double click it and edit it as usual. Then if I click elsewhere, the text I was looking at before disappears. So I can only look at one text entry at a time. The typed text does come out on hard copies.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?
    In case it matters, I'm running Acrobat Standard 9.0.0 under XP Pro SP3 on an HP Notebook with 4GB of RAM.
    Thanks,
    Herb

    No luck but thanks...

  • After installing OS X Server Bonjour printer doesn't show up

    I just recently installed OS X Server 4.0.3.  Before I installed it I could see the printer as a Bonjour printer from the Mac Pro and the 4 other Macs on the network.  After installing OS X Server on the Mac Pro it cannot see the Bonjour printer.  All of the other Macs still can.
    The printer was listed in the Printers & Scanners configuration, but since it wasn't working I deleted it to try and set it up again.  But now it doesn't show up the in the Printers and Scanners configuration?
    Does this have anything to do with OS X Server?  Is a port being blocked?
    Why isn't the printer even showing up?  I have tried connecting the printer to the DSL modem and to the Airport.  Neither worked.  The other Macs have not lost access.
    I've tried resetting the printer, made sure the drivers are up to date.  Currently I have to use the Bonjour printing because OKI Data has not fixed TCP/IP (hardwired) printing with Yosemite.
    Thanks,
    David.

    Now that you've turned off File Vault try resetting the printer system: OS X Mavericks: Reset the printing system - Apple.
    Also I wouldn't hurt to Boot into the Recovery volume (boot with the Command + R keys held down), select Disk Utility and repair both the disk permissions and disk.  Reboot normally afterward.

  • In installation process of Acrobat Professional 7 , its showing that Adobe Pdf printer is not Installed...need help to install the software completely

    In installation process of Acrobat Professional 7 , its showing that Adobe Pdf printer is not Installed...need help to install the software completely

    If it is Win 7 or later, the Adobe PDF printer for AA 7 will not install and AcroTray will not function. You will have to install a PS driver from Adobe or maybe an HP color PS printer driver. Then edit the driver properties and change the name to Adobe PDF and the port to FILE. You will always have to do an extra step in creating PDFs by opening the file that is created in Distiller to get the PDF.
    If you are talking about Win 8, you may not be successful at all. If you got Acrobat and Distiller to install, then there is a chance.

    I upgraded to Lion and now can't print PDF files and Acrobat reader doesn't work anymore. What can I do to get it working?

    If you upgraded and were using a version of Acrobat Reader that was legacy, that is PPC compatible, then you will have to upgrade to a version compatible with Lion as Lion no longer has Rosetta to interface with the legacy software.
    I know that Acrobat, full version, 10 works with Lion...use it myself.
