Color setting Don't Print doesn't work (WAS: Modifying FM's default R/L master pages)

[Christenson, Pat]

Hi Mike -

I tried that but then it's invisible onscreen as well as in print.

I'm trying to simplify the processes here so I'd hate to add changing views or dealing with more conditions to the already-confused/overburdened staff.

Thanks.

Pat

I was stymied by that same problem once and someone explained to me, if I'm remembering correctly, that the Don't Print setting only applies to color separations. To make it not appear in a normal, composite printout, you have to use View> Color> Views and move your non-printing color into the Invisible column.

It is rather non-intuitive.

I've just verified that this is true in both FrameMaker 10 and 11.



RECAP: Create a new color and choose Don't Print as its Print As setting. Apply the color to text and print the page. The text using the Don't Print color shouldn't appear in the printout but it does.



I've just created a bug report on the Adobe website but thought I'd post this here as well, in case any Adobe folk are following the thread.
