Separation angles problem.
I have received customer separated pdf files e.g. Cyan, Magenta, Yellow,
Black; which I need to output to film for conventional printing.
All the separation angles when output to film are at 45 degrees.
Does anyone know how I can change these angles, either in Acrobat or the
RIP, before output.
Normally, Cyan @ 105 degrees; Magenta @ 75, Yellow @ 90, Black @ 45.
regards
Brian
