Why does a placed .eps file with a Pantone color change the color mode to CMYK?

I am working on a 2-color newsletter in Indesign CS5... black and Pantone 227U.
Whenever I place a duotone .eps (black + 227U) or an Illustrator vector .eps with 227U in it, the color mode for that swatch changes to CMYK. An Illustrator vector which is 100% 227U also gives me the same issue.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks Rob!
I also unchecked “All spots to process” and the spot color appeared in the Separations Preview.

  • Does anyone know if there is a way to change the colors with the new update

    Can anyone tell me how to change the colors on my IPhone with the new IOS update?

    Nope, this only changes it to black and magenta.  I wsh I could find it again, it's there I promise.. There is a whole list of colors, I changed it to red and want to see if black is better.  Just don't care for all the blue..

  • Why does a new blank file with a white background look yellowish?

    I have a custom PC running Windoes 7, 4gigs of memory and an AOC 22inch LED monitor. The color white in Photoshop Elements looks off and almot a light yellow. What gives? I tried a reinstall of PE 10 to no avail.

    Have you calibrated your monitor? Your monitor utility probably has some kind of adjustment software. If it gives you a chance to set the color temperature, a lower number in degrees kelvin is warmer (yellower), while a  higher number is cooler (bluer).

  • Why does Lion not link up with my wifi despite having the key?

    I have to click on the wifi signal icon and click "open network preferences", then click on the "Network Name" bar to locate my wifi network.  Click on THAT and wait for it to hook up.
    With previous OS from apple, my home wireless network linked up automatically.  This
    This is seriously ANNOYING and is a big factor in my wanting to revert to Snow Leopard and get a refund for Lion.

    I removed all networks from my list of networks.  And re-added my home network.  It is NOW the only network in the list of preferred networks. 
    Now my issue is when I log onto my computer, it says NONE OF MY PREFERRED NETWORKS ARE AVAILABLE despite my home network being ON THE LIST.  So it gives me a list of networks it is geting a signal from...and my HOME NETWORK IS ON THE LIST.
    And despite it being in the preferred network list, and the box checked to remember networks that this computer has joined....it requires me to enter my network key to log on to the network that it has already been given the key for....several times. 
    I updated to 10.7.1 yesterday and that did NOT help.
    I will be reverting to Snow Leopard today.
    My old Macbook Pro which is running Leopard (it can't run Snow Leopard due to it's age connects with absolutely no problems. 
    I should NOT have to make an appt with an Apple Store Genious Bar and drag my computer there.  That is completely ridiculous.

  • Is it possible to open eps files with Keynote?

    I have some eps Clipart files that I have been trying to edit so I can use the individual clipart images instead of having to crop a jpef or tiff copy of the original file.
    However, I can't seem to open the eps version of the file in any of the applications I have, which makes the files almost impossible to use...
    Is there any way of actually opening the eps files with Keynote, or does anyone know of a program or app that I can open these with?
    Thanks!

    There are a number of compatibility reasons why Keynote will not open eps files
    I use Illustrator to open, then save as a different file any eps files which Keynote wont open directly.

  • View EPS files with CS3

    I have Adobe Illustraotor CS3, I only need it to view artwork files sent to me, I do not need to work on them, how can I view EPS files that were created in newer versions of Adobe

    "Place" is Adobe's lingo for what other software simply calls "Import".
    Not exactly.
    It would be interesting to read Adobe's official criteria (if it exists) for whether a particular format belongs in "Open" or "Place." But generically:
    "Import" is more restrictive, in that it implies that an import filter is going to translate the incoming data into native objects. "Place" is a (rather awkward) throwback term to early page-layout programs (ex.: PageMaker), which were essentially intended to be "assembly" programs in which to assemble and arrange many multiple kinds of external files (text, raster, vector) into a page design. The implication of "Place" is that the receiving program does not necessarily have to "disassemble" or "break into" or even "understand" the content of the incoming file; it can just position and scale a reference to it on the page (i.e.; link).
    The "Place" concept is particularly germane to positioning EPS files in page-layout apps. The operative word in EPS is "Encapsulated." It provides for a "capsule" that can contain a collection of objects that can be passed to/through many programs that don't necessarily understand its content.
    (Remember, prior to its acquisition of Aldus, Adobe didn't even have a page-layout application.)
    So "Import" is what Illustrator does (if it can) if you don't specify linking to the external file. You don't have to Open an EPS in Illustrator; you can link to it as an external file (i.e.; "Place" it on the page.)
    To my mind, "Open" should be reserved for native files that were created in the program, "Import" should be reserved for non-native files that will be translated into native content, and "Place" (or "Insert") should be used for linking to external files. So Illustrator should not "Open" an EPS, since it may not have been created in Illustrator, and therefore may contain objects which will be translated with varying degrees of  fidelity; it should either "Import" it (translate it) or "Place" it (leave its content alone). By the same token, Illustrator should not claim to "Open" a JPEG, either.
    But remember, Illustrator was essentially a visual PostScript editor.
    Also it no doubt would arguably be more confusing to newcomers to provide an Open, Import, and Place command. (So why not make the terms more explicit and intuitive in the first place, perhaps like: Reopen, Translate, Link?)
    And it's also no doubt considered more "impressive" from a marketing standpoint to claim that a program can "Open" various other-brand native files, and that's where my cynical mind suspects the runaway overlap stems from. So Illustrator can ostensibly "Open" certain version Corel Draw files, and vice-versa. (No, they can Import data from each other, to varying degrees of fidelity.) Adobe, of course, is not the only offender here. For example, FileMaker claims to "Open" Excel spreadsheets, too, when it really just imports the data.
    At any rate, despite frequent claims to the contrary, EPS is not obsolete in the world at large beyond Adobe apps; not until non-Adobe apps can insert (place) and/or import (translate) PDF as a spot graphic. Microsoft Word (Windows), for example, can't do that. So EPS is still needed there for those who understand its purpose and limitations. Similarly, some softwares which drive cutters / plotters import EPS files with vector content, too; but don't claim to "open" native Illustrator files.

  • Applied 55% transparency to group of objects, but a placed .eps file is darker than things created natively in InDesign

    hey guys,
    I'm working on a math book and for some reason, my placed .eps files (which are used for equations) are appearing darker than the other items when set to 55% opacity. I've ensured that everything is set to 100% opacity before grouping, then grouped and set to 55%. My only thought is maybe the eps is RGB when the other things are CMYK...and if this is the case, I'm not sure how to test / fix it. Other than that idea, I have no clue as to where to begin in addressing this issue.
    The cheese is real with this example.
    You can see here that I'm applying the 55% opacity to the entire group. I've also ungrouped all of the objects, made sure they're at 100% opacity, then grouped and set to 55%.
    You can see here that the text is 100% black.
    Thanks!

    Sorry, I Googled around a bit, but not quite sure what you mean by distilling the PDF. I've exported the PDF as a "High Quality PDF", and the issue still persists there. Should I alter the PDF export options some?

  • Why does Illustrator CS4 save pdfs with clipping paths and make rasters of gradient areas

    I am on a IMAC and upgraded to 10.6.8 Jan 2014. I am using CS4 Illustrator to create with. When i save my work as a pdf then reopen the pdf in Ill to make changes, the whole page has:
    A.) Multiple clipping paths around it
    B.) Most text has now become outlined. Not editable anymore.
    C.) Gradient areas have multiple clipping paths of the single gradient area
    D.) The gradient areas now become rasterized.
    This is very frustrating as now all of my marketing files, some 300+, are worthless. I don't know where to look anymore to find the problem.
    Please help.
    Thank you very much

    John,
    I have the presets as you have shown. I had been editing the supplied items as you suggested. Then figured i should ask the questions of those who are better than I.
    But still a bit confused as to why the new save places clipping paths around the document.
    Thank you John and Monika for your help.
    why does Illustrator CS4 save pdfs with clipping paths and make rasters of gradient areas
    created by John Mensinger in Illustrator - View the full discussion
    I do a save as "pdf" in the format pull down tab. I save to a folder on the hard drive. Where is the "Illustrator editability" check box? I presumed it is in Acrobat some where
    but i seem to be lost.
    It is in Illustrator's Save Adobe PDF dialog, which pops up before the saved file is written.

    Sorry i didn't mention this, but this seems to have occurred when using images and text from provided pdfs.
    That's a critical fact. If you didn't do the original save, the above is moot, and it's too late to exercise any control over the save process. Someone else failed to save for editability. The only thing you can do is clean up/repair the content, (release clipping masks, rebuild rasterized elements, expand objects, etc.), and save correctly as AI. Then, if necessary, re-save as PDF with the correct settings.

  • Why does Illustrator open this file incorrect (coloured polygon becomes uncoloured)

    I have an eps file that opens incorrect in Illustrator (CS6, CS4, 10 I tested). I wonder why this happens. The path seems to be complex, but Photoshop and Distiller converts/opens this file correct. So this seems to be a bug in Illustrator. I ca send you the file.
    How can this be solved?
    Patrick.

    Please explain me where I can put my file? Can I email it to you? Can I upload this to this forum?

  • Why does Safari automatically download files?  I want option to download.

    Why does Safari automatically download files? I want option to download or not. I didn't think it used to automatically download. But now every time I click on a file that has been sent to me it does give me an option to view or not..it just automatically downloads it. Any suggestions?

    Hi,
    Why does Safari automatically download files?
    That's what Apple decided it should do. It's not my preferred option either to be honest.
    I didn't think it used to automatically download.
    Safari has always done this. Maybe in the past you had a third-party application installed that did this for Safari.
    Any suggestions?
    Safari menu > Report Bugs to Apple... or http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
    For more immediate action, have a search around www.macupdate.com or www.versiontracker.com to see if such an 'extension' exists to force Safari to prompt on download. (Bear in mind these kind of things can be sensitive to the version of Safari they're used with, so if Safari starts crashing down the line they would be the primary suspects to remove)

  • Why does my imessage not work with only 1 phone number

    Why does my imessage not work with only 1 phone number? It keeps going to imessage and then back to text message

    Both you and the recipient have to have active data connections, and both devices have to have iOS 5 or higher to be able to use iMessage. Also, they both have to have iMessage activated. If that is already the case, there is a possiblility that iMessage is down. It has gone up and down several times in the past week. Check this page for status, and if necessary you can report a problem with a link in the lower right corner. http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/systemstatus/

    why does my iphone come up with a different email when updating apps?
    Everytime I go to update my apps some other persons email or AppleID comes up and I have to cancel.  its annoying enough to have to update all the time but now I have about100 update notifications (don't judge, you probably have a ton of apps too..haha) that are sitting idol, what's up how do I fix?

    p.s. not updating to iOS6 yet

    I'm sorry Allan, I should have clarified, your answer is improbable (well the first part atleast).
    The apps I have had since the first week of purchase of my iphone back in 2011,  I have not added any apps until 2 months before the last software update.  This starting happening when the new software was implemented but I have not updated to iOS6 yet.  Unless this person was able to hack into my account & transfer them to their account, I do not see how that is possible.
    Prior to seeing this other AppleID, I have a popup to prompt me for my AppleID each time I download content.  Each time I would see mine and enter my password.
