Printing two colors without color separation

[Mark M Simonian]

I am using Publisher 2007 and have struggled for a year to get adobe to
create two color separations. The postscript print driver just doesn't work
for me or a colleague that is working on the same file in another city
(although I used to be able to print two color separations). Since our
printer requires a PDF file I wondered if there was a an easy way to print
two separate PDF of the same publisher file by creating a different color
scheme or creating unique fonts that print some headers only in one color
and rename the same headers with the font colors and lines set to white. It
seems goofy and wonder if there is a simple way to do this for a 8-16 pages
newsletter.

A printing solution:

This was posted sometime ago, is this what you are asking about?

a. Select "Generic Color PS for Commercial Printing" as your printer output.
b. On "File/Print/Advanced settings" select Composite CMYK.
c. Tools/Commercial Printing Tools/Color printing select "Process colors CMYK".

Print your pages to a output file with the ending .ps.

Open Adobe Acrobat Distiller and select "Press Quality" settings, or better
PDF/X-1a if you have the professional version (check with your printer). Open
your .ps file, and it will produce your .pdf The resulting PDF file should be
separated CMYK!!!

Super, Thanks! By color separations I wanted to print two colors Black and
Blue on white paper. I will check both these out. Mark M
