Turn off overprint fill

I sometimes receive a file from a client that has accidentally had overprint fill turned on for an object, it happens on type a lot. It happens on PDFs made in indesign and illustrator. I was wondering is there a way inside acrobat reader pro to turn overprint fill off?
I know how to check and highlight overprint fill elements inside output preview>color warnings, but it would be nice if I could turn it off myself without having to go back to the client and have them turn it off and resend me the file.
Thanks,
Marcus

<snipped>... so if your looking for this forum to play detective and tell you who in your workflow set the elements to overprint, I don't think this can be done. I don't think I have ever seen Illustrator set any elements to overprint all by its self. <snipped>
Hi PrepressPro...
Many thanks for your earlier inputs, but not quite sure where you got the idea that i want someone or anyone to play detective... i've understood the Overprint problem... and moved on. If anything, maybe i was just musing and wondering if any particular action turns on "Overprint Fill"...
Or maybe, i was referring to the second question which has not been resolved yet... Quoting it below for easy reference:

The other issue...
Same black background(s)... placed Photoshop file/s with a transparent background... Prints fine at the printers (various machines and media) ... But on the laserprinter an HP Color Laser Jet CP1510 series, there's a dark patch around the image (the actual file area).

To elaborate, the pix above are product shots which have been cut out and placed on a transparent background... The PS file is then placed in AI CS4 with the object option selected to maintain transparency. The transparent area is printing darker on the printer above. But is fine when sent to commerciqal printers...
Attached is a scan of the problem...

Turn Off Auto Fill in Photomerge Panorama?

How do you turn off the aut fill feature on Photomerge panoramas? I'm working in Photoshop Elements 9.
Thanks!

I would suggest if you don't want the Auto-Fill (clean edges) you hit the NO button on an image by image basis.
You can also check the Do Not Perform this Action and then click yes, but then you will have to reset the warning dialogs in
Edit>Preferences>General if you ever want to use the Clean Edges (content aware) again.

Address book: how do you turn off auto-fill?

Address book fills in with past info from existing cards in almost every field. This is surely the most unhelpful feature for a data base that typically has unique information in every field in every card. I cannot fathom how to turn it off. Help would be much appreciated.

Sandy,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
I know that this is of little consolation to you, but the Tiger version of Address Book no longer has that annoying interface.
I know of no way to turn it off in Panther.

Turn off auto-fill when searching apps?

We bought my 10 year old a Touch for Christmas. Is there a way to disable the auto-fill when searching for an app? I started to type in "Security Software" and as soon as I got the "SE" entered, it started offering up things like "Free Sex Jokes" or "Sex Positions". Needless to say, not exactly what I would like my 10 year old to see, much less have access to. Anyone have a solution? Does this mean someone else has used this iPod before and it saved their search history (it was purchased as a brand new iPod from Toys R Us). Thanks!

It appears that the App store is just displaying itms that start with the characters entered so far and that is different than auto-fill. It is like Google instant search. To avoid the "nasty" words you mention, placing age restrictions on the App Store and other items might solve your problem. To set restrictions go to Setting>Genera>Restriction and set the restrictions you want. You apply a passcode to prevent unauthorized changing of the restrictions. It is covered n Chapter 19 of the Users Guide.

URL bar autofill - how to turn off

When I start to type a URL in the URL box in Safari a drop down list appears of visited sites. How do I edit or delete this list. I tried to reset safari and also turn off auto fill but these methods don't work.
Any Ideas.
Cheers
Steven

Hello Memoire,
First of all, welcome to the Apple discussions.
* There are a lot of Urls that come along during the Installation of Safari, the automatic build in Urls. They keep showing every time you type any address into the address bar, an this can be very annoying. To get rid of these Auto Urls go into the Bookmark storage, thats the little open book on your left side. Open it, now search for ALL these Urls you don't need, like movies, shopping, music etc ... etc ...
After you finish, go to the Safari Menu Bar an clear the History, also go to: User/Your_Name/Library/Safari/History.plist trash this file. A new one will be regenerated as soon you visit the web.
Use a 3th party application like OnyX to clear History, recent visit Servers, caches etc ... etc ... this is FREE ware, you can download it here:
OnyX
Let me know if so ...
Discussions is a ongoing process. Hope to see you around anytime you need us, or can offer help to others.

How do I turn off "your recent download with your apple id" emails? Annoyingly often and they fill up my inbox.

How do I turn off "your recent download with your apple id" emails? Annoyingly often and they fill up my inbox. Is there a way to unsubscribe from these?

It is in Settings>iTunes & App Stores to change automatic downloads. But it isn't your device that needs to be changed if you are the one that made the download. He needs to turn off the setting for automatic downloads on his phone. I'm guessing here, but you are all sharing the same Apple ID?

Time machine is turned off but my startup disk keeps filling up with backup files on a hidden volume.

My Time Machine is turned off but my system startup drive keeps filling up with backup files in a hidden volume. How can I stop this? When Time Machine was turned on, the destination was set to an external drive. I was completely confused about what was happening until I used Houdini to reveal the hidden volume. I have no idea how it got created or why it keeps filling up with no backup application running to my knowledge. Thanks.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
Download this, or a similar tool if you prefer:
OmniDiskSweeper - Products - The Omni Group
Boot in safe mode. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
During startup, you will see "Safe Boot" on the login screen, which appears even if you normally log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Safe mode is slower than normal, and some things won’t work at all, possibly including wireless networking.
Does your boot volume continue to fill up? Use the above tool to explore the volume and find out where the space is going.

Turning off contact address auto-fill

Anyone know how to turn off the auto-fill for calendar entries? Entering customer appointments into iCal for contacts in my address book takes forever when it has to predict who it might be. Plus, if I select that particular contact, it won't show the address, only show "Tom's work" as the location.
Thanx!

Tom .. No, I was just using google. Not http etc.
I really think that was enough last week. We messed with some of
the network settings lately in an attempt to set up ethernet connection
to old machine. I bet that is what changed things.

Internet Recovery does require a disk drive and free space to setup and hold the download and to initiate an installation. Haven't done so so I don't have first hand as to all the t hings that can and do go wrong.
When you do have the installer package, and BEFORE you run it, SAVE IT SOMEWHERE SAFE!
How to make your own bootable OS X 10.9 Mavericks USB install drive
http://arstechnica.com/apple/2013/10/how-to-make-your-own-bootable-os-x-10-9-mav ericks-usb-install-drive/
When Apple released OS X 10.7 two years ago, it stopped selling operating system DVDs in its stores, stopped shipping recovery disks with new Macs, and switched to downloadable installers for OS X upgrades. These download-only installers have actually worked pretty well—I’ve never had an issue downloading the software from the Mac App Store or restoring a Mac using the Internet Recovery feature when something went south. That said, it’s still nice to have an install disk handy for those cases when you don’t have a connection, when your connection is slow, or when you just have a whole bunch of Macs and don’t want to have to download the installer on each and every one of them.
The good news is, as with Lion and Mountain Lion, it’s possible to create a local USB installer for Mavericks. The bad news is that it wasn’t as simple as it was before—Apple has changed the way the installer works, and making an install disk manually is more difficult than it used to be. Before we get started, here’s what you’ll need:
An 8GB or larger USB flash drive, or an 8GB or larger partition on some other kind of external drive
The OS X 10.9 Mavericks installer from the Mac App Store in your Applications folder. The installer will delete itself when you install the operating system, but it can be re-downloaded if necessary.
The latest beta of the Lion Diskmaker app, available here (as of this writing, version 3 beta 3 is the most recent). This app is free to download, but the creator accepts donations if you want to support his efforts.
An administrator account on the Mac you're using to create the disk.

http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4718
OS X Internet Recovery
Mac models introduced after public availability of OS X Lion include the ability to start up directly from an Internet-based version of the OS X Recovery system. OS X automatically uses this feature when the Recovery System on the hard disk isn't available (such as when your hard disk encounters an issue, or when your hard disk has been replaced or erased). OS X Internet Recovery lets you start your Mac directly from Apple's servers. Starting up from this system performs a quick test of your memory and hard drive to check for hardware issues.
OS X Internet Recovery presents a limited interface at first, with only the ability to select your preferred Wi-Fi network and, if needed, entering a passphrase. Next, OS X Internet Recovery downloads and starts from a Recovery System image. From there, you are offered the same utilities and options as a local Recovery System.
Requirements for reinstalling OS X using Recovery
Reinstalling OS X using OS X Recovery requires broadband access to the Internet via Wi-Fi or an Ethernet connection. OS X is downloaded over the Internet from Apple when OS X Recovery is used for reinstallation
If you use Internet Recovery to reinstall OS X, it installs the version of OS X that originally came with your computer. After installation is finished, use the Mac App Store to install related updates or later versions of OS X that you have previously purchased.
What to do if the installer warns that no Recovery System can be created
Some disk partition configurations may result in the OS X installer reporting that it could not create a Recovery System. In these situations, even if you are permitted to continue the install, you may want to quit the installation and create an external, bootable OS X hard drive with a Recovery System, first. You can continue your OS X upgrade on your computer's startup drive after creating an external Recovery System.
Your storage device must have at least 13 GB available (after formatting) to install OS X Lion or later and a Recovery partition.
These steps erase and reformat the storage device. This article instructs you on setting up a storage device to use the GUID partition scheme and the Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format, which are required to install OS X and a Recovery partition on your external storage device. You should back up any important files that are on the device to a different drive.
This procedure installs a version of OS X that is compatible with the Mac it was created with. Using this OS X system with a different Mac model may produce unpredictable results.
Your computer's serial number is sent to Apple as part of this process to help authenticate your request to download and install OS X Lion.

Exporting a Layered PSD and Overprint Fill

Hi guys.
I'm trying to export a layered PSD of my AI file and I keep having problems with it merging the layers because of the overprint settings.
I've been trying to go through and turn off the overprint in my objects, but I have a photo that's cropped by a rectangle shape, and the Overprint Fill option under Attributes is greyed out. What must I do?

Well, when I release the clipping mask, both the image and the selection mask do not have the overprint checked or greyed. But when I apply the mask, it turns grey again (with a "-").
The clipping mask:

MBP turns off during boot

Hello!
My mid-2010 MBP is having some issues. It is no longer under applecare. Last year, when it was still under applecare, I had a problem of the display going black many times per day while doing even simple tasks. I believe they replaced the logic board and everything worked just fine after that.
However, last night my laptop suddenly went black while viewing a PDF. I tried opening and closing the cover, nothing could get the screen back. At that time, the keyboard was still lit up and the caps lock button still worked (light would turn on and off when pressing).
I did a hard-reset.
The laptop screen lit up like it was starting, and then died. Tried again, nothing. So, I waited about five minutes and tried again. The screen lit up, the apple appeared, and then the laptop died.
After many attempts, I have seen it do many different things. Sometimes it dies before the apple appears. Sometimes it dies after that, but before login screen. Sometimes it dies on the login screen. Usually the longer I wait, the further it will go - however, even when stone cold and not warm at all after waiting hours, it will still only run for ten minutes before it turns off. Sometimes if I can get all the way through startup, it will run for a minute, or five minutes, or ten minutes, but it always fails. Sometimes it turns completely off, but sometimes only the display goes black and the keyboard stays lit. I can even change the keyboard illumination up or down when this happens. Its about a 50/50 chance whether the display will die or the whole laptop will die. Whichever one it is, though, it still requires 10-15 minutes before I can try again, or the machine will just fail halfway through startup.
I have also tried starting into bootcamp. It worked for five minutes in Windows and then died.
I have tried booting up while holding shift, but it was taking a very long time for the progress bar at the bottom to fill, and halfway through the laptop shut down.
As I said at the beginning, the logic board is one year old.

After sitting for a day, I started up the laptop and made it all the way through login. I let the machine sit without touching anything for about twenty minutes, nothing happened.
I then opened Chrome, and as soon as I began typing into the search box, the entire computer shut down, and restarted by itself.
Halfway through restart, the screen turned black. I waited, and after a minute the keyboard lit up so I knew it was at the login screen, though I couldn't see anything. I typed the first letter of my name, pressed enter, typed my password, and pressed enter again.
I presume the computer is logged in and sitting at the desktop now...I have the laptop set up so that if I move the cursor to one corner, it puts the display to sleep. When I do this with the track pad, I can see the keyboard lights dim, then light back up again when I move the cursor back out of the corner.
Anyone have any suggestions? How can I get my screen back?

My iphone wont open, i even recovered it but to no avail, all it does is go to the white screen with the apple logo then turn off again

Hey everyone,
This morning i took my phone out of the charger and everything was normal however, once i got in the car i looked at my phone and realized it was turned off. I tried turning it on again as well but all it does is going to the start up screen (The white screen with the apple logo) and then it turns off again as well. I also put it on the charger but it does the same thing but repeatedly. So it just goes to the white screen and off again. At last i resorted to recovering my phone even if it meant losing all my data. Slow internet connection meant it took all night but in the morning i recovered and everything and got to the last step ( It told me its finished but i should leave my phone connected to itunes and it will pop up there) but all that popped up was an error screen. It still broken but now sometimes when i try to turn it on the same white screen with the logo comes on with a bar under it. this bar fills up a little then the screen goes black again. Is there any other way i can try to fix this?
P.S. There are no apple stores in my area so i took it to one of the phone stores here and even they said they couldnt do anything about it

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Is it possible to turn off a spot colour

Hello
Probably a dumb question but I will ask anyway. Is it possible to turn off a spot colour in CS4. I can effectively do it by creating a spot white and merging the spot colour I want to delete to the spot white using the ink aliasing. However, this leaves a spot colour in the high res pdf at th end of the job. This then causes a problem as we use an online proofing system which then fails the flightcheck as there is a spot colour in the pdf.
Cheers
Beeefcake

The spot colour is used so that we can perform a find on any text with a fill of the spot colour and delete it. The spot colour is put in for this purpose when the original artwork is created in the US.
Kathlene - I can't believe I didn't spot that! This would work! We could just convert the swatch to 0% cmyk as you suggest. The majority of the pages in the catalogue are on a white background so the pricing would simply disappear resulting in no spot place when pdf's are made. There are some pages on a coloured background but these are very few and the pricing could be deleted manually.
Thanks for the help!
