: Copy/Paste vector object creates spot color and/or transparency I have two AI CMYK files with a vector object in each. Both, when trying to save to PDF do not show in Summary any warnings.
I have two AI CMYK files with a vector object in each. Both, when trying to save to PDF do not show in Summary any warnings.
When trying to copy/paste from one AI file to another and then save the destination to PDF I get this "spot colors and transparency" warning. And this makes the print go wrong.
I tried :
Select->Edit Colors->Convert to CMYK - did not help
Where did those spots and transparency came from if were not present in the origin files AND how to combine the two and get rid of the warning
Two examples are attached :
FileA
AI Version of FileA

I found the solution to "how to combine those files and git rid of the warning and its outcomes" : seems the problem was shadows and not the spot colors (the warning I got saving the PDF was dual, about both).Once I run "Flatten Shadows" - the warning disappeared and the printer recognized everything as expected
I dont have an explanation yet to how the problem got created at the first place.
I'm using Acrobat Pro for basic output preview and editing.
For plotter the cutcontour need to be spot color (or to put it different, it need to be any color set to spot. The plotter should ignore it and not print this one).
Are you sure you move (copy/paste) from CMYK to CMYK file? Ai should not show "spot colors and transparency" warning when you use file in the same range and profile.
