Built text

[Ashley]

I have a Publisher document that I have to impose.
In order to impose, I have to create a PDF file. When I create the PDF file,
all the black text is built, even though in Publisher it is set to 100% black.
When I preint separations to a color printer, the black comes out fine. But
when I print a composite to PDF the text is built.

Any ideas??
I can't use a separated PDF - I have to have it composite and my RIP doesn't
have an option for me to change the color make up of the file.

Any help would be appreciated.

Publisher 2003, PC Acrobat 7.0

A couple options.

Try CMYK composite instead of RGB.

If that doesn't work, you may be forced to edit the PDF with PitStop Pro (
an essential tool for the manipulation of PDF).

I'm surprised your rip doesn't have a setting to output composite black
a plain K. My Harlequin does, and I've not updated it for far too long.
