Managing color on a printer
With Acrobat 5.0, you have the option of selecting host-based or printer-based color
management. Host-based color management gives better control over the output color
space and more predictable ICC workflows. You make this selection in the Advanced Print
Settings dialog box, where you also control tiling options, set transparency options, and
set device-dependent characteristics such as transfer functions. The range of options
available depends on your printer and printer driver. For additional information on using
the Print dialog box, see
“Printing PDF documents” on page 26
.
Note:
The Advanced Print Settings dialog box is available for PostScript printers only.
If you are sending your PDF files to a service bureau, you can use the Trapping Key dialog
box to declare whether an Adobe PDF file contains trapping information.
If you are connected to the Internet, click Printing Tips in the Print dialog box to
connect to the Adobe Web site for information on troubleshooting printing problems in
