Hello,
with color black overprinting is not working. You can easily spot this
when you use the »Ausgabevorschau« (sorry, my acrobat is in german
locale, must be something with »preview« in english; located in the
»tools« menu) in acrobat and remove magenta and black from the preview.
Whilst under the region with the magenta colored text the picture gets
shown, in the region with the black colored text the text is cut out of
the picture, leaving white.
I think this is a bug, as overprinting makes most sense with black. It
happens both in Mark II and IV -- you have to manually copy the
hacker.jpg to your working directory (under linux e.g. with cp
$(kpsewhich hacker.jpg) /path/to/your/working/directory) and change the
path to make the minimal example work under mark iv.
Best regards,
olli

I have looked into the uncompressed mkii PDF (\nopdfcompression) and I can not see any obvious flaw. The parts are clearly separeted by '/GSknockout gs' and '/GSoverprint gs', the black text is not set twice. Just an idea: the colorspace of the picture is RGB, the text is set in CMYK. Maybe the mixed color spaces mess up things here. > I made a document with scribus, which looks alright in acrobats preview: > http://www.sopos.org/olli/overprinting-scribus.pdf > > Same here.

Maybe the mixed color spaces mess up things here. But shouldn't the same effect be seen with other colors than black then, too?

You can make this visible by using 'Vorschau: Separiert' with the option 'Einblenden: Nicht-DeviceCMYK'. I think this is just a limitation of the previewer.

With k=1, the 'kind of knockedout' vanishes. Thank you very much, Peter! So is it advisable to change all black to cmyk black or can I safely rely on the DeviceGray black? >> Can you test the following?

Best ask your printing house what they prefer in this case. Just an additional comment about prepress. A very good and gratis pdf book (only in german!) about prepress basics can be found here: http://www.cleverprinting.de/ratgeber2009.html Simply press "Jetzt als kostenloses PDF herunterladen" at the end of the page to get a copy. If you like it, buy it (as it's also very cheap for technical literature). Best wishes, Peter >>> Can you test the following?
