Importing files into Composer
Font Search Path(s)
Click the browse (…) button to navigate to the alternate font folders on your system. The more
search paths that are activated the slower the Adobe Import Formats dialog box opens. Only
define and activate the search paths that are required to locate the font. There are several
common folder locations for fonts including:
♦
TrueType fonts – C:\WINDOWS\Fonts
♦
Type 1 Fonts – C :\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts
Once the search paths are added you can turn them on or off using the check box that precedes
the path. Turn off any search paths that are not required to speed the opening of the dialog box.
Font Information
The font area of the Font Options tab provides the following information on fonts used in the
imported file:
♦
Font name and style (Bold, Italic, etc.)
♦
Subfont (this code designates that a subset containing only the characters used in the
file are embedded in the file)
♦
Embedded font (Yes or No)
♦
Type of font (TrueType, Type 1, etc)
Import Color Management
The Import Color Management tab of the AI Import Options dialog box allows you to specify
ICC Color Profiles to apply during import. The default settings should be adequate for most
files.
♦
RGB Source Profile The default profile in Source Color Profile is None. The
embedded color profile will be used to translate RGB values in the imported file to
CMYK values in Composer. If you know the color profile that was used to create the
original file you can select it here.
♦
CMYK Source Profile The default profile is Gerber (GSP) Generic CMYK. This profile
is not used during RGB import and is for possible future use.
♦
Gerber Imaging Device Profile The default profile is Edge 220 ProcessPro CMY
GerberTone Photo. This profile dictates which CMYK values result when mapping
RGB colors. Choose a profile for the intended output device, vinyl, foil, and halftone
for best results.
