Making all blacks rich black in AI?

Hi there,  this is an Illustrator image and you can see what is rich black and what isn't...  I did go through all files and just select all and adjust the black to rich black, but obviously that didn't work (thankfully the place that I sent it to for production was able to change it all to rich black).  Anyway...  How can I make sure everything is rich black?  Can I do a universal change?  Or do I have to select every path, shape, etc.?  Thanks for the help.

It is actually clear what is and is not rich black. the eyes are rich backs every thing else seems a one color black.
Make a swatch that is rich black make it global.
Then select all the art (command A) and then go to Edit>Edit Colors> Recolor Art then select the New Color bar next to the one color black and it must be in the document, select the new color click on it to bring up the color picker and choose swatches and select you rich black hit Ok and the Ok again an that should do it
Click ok.
Now everything is good.
Before you do any of this go tot he Preferences and in Appearance of Black make certain to display blacks accurately is chosen.

  • Computer screen is all black

    Tried to adjust contrast on my computer now it is all black with the exception of a few icons. The icon to do this I found on the lower right corner of the screen now to make the adjustment has disappeared so am unable to reverse.  My aim was to improve the strain on my vision.

    Hello @Allie77 ,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand the screen is mostly black after making changes. I'll do my best to help, but first, please provide the following information:
    1. The computer's model number. If you require assistance locating this information, please reference this website: Guide to finding your notebook product number
    2. The computer's operating system. If you require assistance locating this information, please reference this website to determine your Windows operating system.
    3. Does this occur on certain programs, or all programs?
    4. Have you installed any new software or drivers on this computer, before the issue appeared?
    Additionally, if the issue just began occurring, I would perform a system restore. I want you to bring the computer back to the earliest restore point possible, in an attempt to dodge whatever caused the issue. Here is a document on how to perform a System Restore: System Restore

  • HT4528 My iPhone 4s would not sync - it kept canceling.  I backed it up and did a full system restore.  Now it won't restore my apps.  It starts on 1 of 51 and then tells me it's canceling sync and it stops.  My apps are all black. How do I fix this?

    My iPhone 4S kept canceling while syncing.  In the Apple support communities, it was recommended that I do a full system restore. I backed the phone up and did the restore.  Now it won't finish the restore process.  It gets to where it will restore the apps and it says "copying 1 of 51", and then it cancels the sync.  I have no apps on the phone - they are all black and they say "waiting". How do I get the apps reloaded on the phone?  Do I have to delete them all and redownload them? I'm not even sure that will work.  Do I go to Verizon and ask if they can fix it?  Any suggestions?

  • When I open a pdf in Adobe Acrobat xi pro it is not displaying correctly. If a file is all black with orange writing, I will see only the orange writing. Its not until i print it or open crop pages dialog box that i see the background. i am on a Windows 7

    When I open a pdf in Adobe Acrobat xi pro it is not displaying correctly. If a file is all black with orange writing, I will see only the orange writing. Its not until i print it or open crop pages dialog box that i see the background.
    i am on a Windows 7 professional PC, 64-bit.

    If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
    The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
    Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem.

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • Indesign CS3 - Changing file from all black to a pantone color

    Is there an easy way to change an all black file to a specific pantone color in Indesign CS3? I've ran into this plenty of times after setting up an all black job and then the customer decides they want to see on the laser printer what it would look like in a specific pantone color. I've always had to go into each photo and text block separately to do this.

    One way is to build jobs like this using a custom black ink defined as CMYK 0,0,0,100 and then all you should have to do for all elements created in IND is delete the black spot and substitute with your new spot.
    Check with your printer, but in general they'll almost certainly prefer a black file to a "spot" file. So if this is just one page you can always kick out a quick PDF, rasterize in PS and place into IND, painted as the new spot. I've never been burned with this workflow, but understand that the client signs off on a proof that is a couple steps away from the file that will go to press.
    I'm sure you can also export to PDF and use Acrobat's convert color utility to get what you want, but I wouldn't know how to go about it. [ed] And fiddled, and still couldn't figure it out.

  • ALL PDFs created are printing in ALL Black

    We are running Acrobat 8.1.2, along with the entire CS suite. We have 7 other staff that are running the same software with exactly the same preferences. All of a sudden, my software prints ALL PDFs either created or received, in ALL BLACK. Printers haven't changed, settings haven't changed. I even removed the printers and re-installed them. Most recently I installed a third party plug-in, Quite Imposing. Could this have corrupted Acrobat. It hasn't in the past. Any ideas why my PC would produce copy in all black?

    Everyone,
    Was out sick with surgery for three months and didn't realize that the PDF file that I had printed prior was "Print all colors in Black" and it stuck. So sorry for the thread.

  • Saved files in illustrator turn into all black when viewing

    Hi All,
    I've searched through the forums + google but haven't been able to get an answer on why this is happening.  Sometimes when I save files as a pdf in Illustrator, or receive files from other people the image loses it's colour. 
    All colour is just black.  I'm attaching a screen shot so you can see what I mean, the colours here are supposed to be a shades of a PMS colour, but instead they're all black.
    Hopefully someone can help!
    Thanks in advance.

    You should never view any PDF in any other program than Acrobat or Reader. All other viewers support only a subset of PDF standards, so they are not reliable viewer program.
    The Word thing has nothing to do with Illustrator or PDF. You need to know,
    in which program the Word embedded graphic was created.
    how the graphic was saved as. Not every file type, which can be imported on Word in Windows is supported completely on the Mac, like EMF, WMF, but also other file types. (The other way round is also true.)
    How the graphic was imported. Some people copy an image or a graphic from a source and paste it via clipboard. Which is not a good way, because it needs several system ressources from the local computer to show up in the host application, in that case in Word. If such a document is opened on a different computer, often even on the same Operating System, those images show up black. The only correct and robust way to import images in Word is via the Insert-Command or button with a compatible file selected.
    Another problem might be, that an image or graphic was inserted in a version which creates docx files, like 2007 or 2010.Those versions support more graphic file types than older versions do. But because some people think, it is better to save files as DOC than as DOCX (smae with PowerPoint or Excel) for compability those images get lost and are only represented as black boxes. In my experience it happens often with PNG-24 files. It is never a good idea to save DOCX back to DOC. I inerit only problems with that workflow. (Also when I import files into InDesign I get always messed up with footnotes with this method, several get lost, several change their reference with each other, I have got DOCs where not even 1 of 400 footnotes was on its original place after import to InDesign. But this is another topic, but it is also an argument to avoid this workflow!)
