That depends on the app that produces the PDF. The correct export settings are as follows (just remember to have your document color mode RGB): As I do not have your notation fonts installed, I cannot check how well Publisher interprets the score but it does it basically 100% correct when using Sibelius scores. If you do not have prepress tools to convert RGB black to K100, and the printer requires K-only, then your choice is to either open or interpret the original score and export explicitly to gray, as I have demonstrated. Some printers do not have problems accepting RGB jobs, so I would ask if it is ok, since otherwise it is normally safer to place PDFs for pass through. Note too, that as I mentioned, passthrough will keep the job as vectors (non-rasterized), but it will also keep the job RGB (or if you force to CMYK, it converts the RGB black to four-color black). This can easily be shown in Adobe Acrobat Pro: If you then set the sliders of the Color panel to Grayscale mode, you can see that all elements including text are Gray 0. If you let Publisher estimate the color mode, if will open it in Gray/8 color mode. No, that happens if you open it in CMYK color mode, or if you have the sliders locked and read color values in CMYK mode. UPDATE: I forgot to mention that I have hw acceleration on, and while I have experienced the disappearance issue two times when using interpreted mode, this has not happened consistently, and it has not prevented creating fully working print pdfs (from a relatively small, 20 page publication). Invisible song-Musescore output-01_gray.pdf If you continue getting "invisible PDF" issues, then passing through and producing RGB would be the best option, and then making sure RGB output is not a problem to the printshop. But if you pass through, you will have the same color issues as mentioned above.Īs it seems that Publisher renders very well also the fonts used in MuseScore notation, I would try if interpreting (without using any adjustments) works. You can try to apply Channel or Colorize adjustments and force output to K100, but you cannot avoid rasterization.Īs mentioned above, you can of course convert everything to outlines (before or after) if you do not mind losing text (and probably creating bigger file sizes). The clip below also demonstrates what happens if you choose to place RGB based PDF for passthrough: you either get RGB output, or if you force to CMYK, rasterized four-color output. I fetched the fonts you had in the demo document so that I can demonstrate properly the method of producing purely DeviceGray print PDF keeping all in vectors and text as text. My brain hearts already, but I'll try: if you meant that manual changes to initial character do not have effect in case the initial is formatted based on a character style saved as part of a paragraph style then I think it is "by design", and meant to be protective (the applied character style is in a way implicit, it does not show similarly as a manually applied character style, which could be manually edited I think it is similarly in InDesign).īTW: The initial formats and styles for the version 1, attached above, were created by copy pasting from version 2 (apparently the only way to do it), and it was awkward: in practice nearly everything had to be redefined in version 1. When I tested this, I think I could make it behave consistently, excepting the Drop Caps based based formatting where small leading causes an anomaly, a kind of a two-line drop cap, while when using Initial Word based initial, this does not happen. I probably did not understand fully what you mean and leading constructions are quite tricky (much because they are so powerful).
