Ignores transparency for the spread. This option is useful for troubleshooting by the service provider.
Opens the Custom Spread Flattener Settings dialog box for specifying settings.
Ignore the flattener preset on an individual spread
Select Ignore Spread Overrides from any of the following locations in InDesign:
The Flattener Preview panel (Window > Output > Flattener Preview).
The Advanced area of the Print or Export Adobe PDF dialog box.
Transparency Flattener options
You can set Transparency Flattener options when creating, editing, or previewing flattener presets in Illustrator, InDesign, or Acrobat.
Highlight (preview) options
Disables previewing.
Highlights the areas that will be rasterized for performance reasons (as determined by the Rasters/Vectors slider).
Keep in mind that the boundary of the highlight area has a higher probability of producing stitching problems (depending on the print-driver
settings and the rasterization resolution). To minimize stitching problems, select Clip Complex Regions.
Highlights the objects that are sources of transparency, such as objects with partial opacity (including images with alpha
channels), objects with blending modes, and objects with opacity masks. In addition, note that styles and effects may contain transparency, and
overprinted objects may be treated as sources of transparency if they are involved in transparency or if the overprint needs to be flattened.
Highlights all objects that are involved in transparency, including transparent objects and objects that are overlapped by
transparent objects. The highlighted objects will be affected by the flattening process—their strokes or patterns will be expanded, portions of them
may get rasterized, and so on.
Highlights all linked EPS files that are affected by transparency.
Highlights all placed content affected by transparency or transparency effects. This option is useful for
service providers who need to see graphics that require attention to print properly.
Highlights all patterns that will be expanded if involved in transparency.
Highlights all strokes that will be outlined if involved in transparency or because Convert All Strokes To Outlines is selected.
Highlights all text that will be outlined if involved in transparency or because Convert All Text To
Outlines is selected.
In the final output, outlined strokes and text may appear slightly different from native ones, especially very thin strokes and very small text.
However, the Flattener Preview doesn’t highlight this altered appearance.
Highlights text and strokes that have rasterized fills as a result of flattening.
