Which of the following statements are NOT true about the Place command? Each correct answer represents a complete solution. Choose all that apply.

  1. It enables you to place a PDF file into an InDesign document.
  2. It rasterizes artwork at the resolution of the InDesign document on which the artwork is placed.
  3. It is used to place artwork on the active layer in the Layers panel.
  4. It places artwork without rasterizing so that you can edit text or vector data in the placed artwork.

Answer(s): C,D

Explanation:

The Place command (File > Place) is used to place artwork into a new layer in an image as a Smart object. Initially, the artwork is placed with a bounding box that enables a user to move, rotate, or scale the artwork. The Place command enables the user to place PDF, Adobe Photoshop, and EPS files into the InDesign document.
When the user places a file, it is rasterized at the resolution of the InDesign document into which it is placed. Since, the placed artwork is rasterized, the user cannot edit text or vector data in the placed artwork.

Answers A and B are incorrect. These options are true about the Place command.

You work as a Design Expert for KBC Inc. You have created an artwork that is restricted to two Pantone spot colors.
When it got printed, you noticed that there are some objects using Cyan and Magenta colors in your document. How can you detect these objects before printing?

  1. Choose Window > Output > Flattener Preview panel.
  2. Click on the info icon in the Preflight panel.
  3. Select the Overprint Preview checkbox in the Separations Preview panel, then turn off visibility for the Pantone colors.
  4. Choose Window > Swatches.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The Separations Preview panel is used to preview color separations on monitor before printing to avoid unexpected spot colors and unwanted overprinting. The Separations Preview panel allows a user to easily turn colors on and off so that it can be seen how blending, transparency, and overprinting will appear in color separated output. The Separations Preview panel can be displayed by choosing Window > Out put > Separations Preview or pressing Shift+F6.



You can hide or view a separation ink on the screen by clicking the eye icon in the left of the separation name. To hide or view all separation inks on screen except one, press Alt and click the eye icon for that separation. To view all process plates at once, click the CMYK icon. The normal view can be returned by deselecting the Overprint Preview.

Answer D is incorrect. The Swatches panel stores colors. It is used to import, export, delete, and modify the color palette. Besides, a user can store custom colors in the Swatches panel. To add a color in the Swatches panel, move the cursor to the empty area of the Swatches panel (the cursor will change into the paint bucket) and click. To access the Swatches panel, select Window > Swatches.

Answer B is incorrect. The Preflight panel is a feature of InDesign CS5 that warns of the problems that could prevent a document or book from printing or outputting as expected while a document is being edited. These problems include missing files or fonts, low-resolution images, overset text, and a number of other conditions. The preflight settings can be configured to define which conditions are detected. These preflight settings are stored in preflight profiles for easy reuse. To open the Preflight panel, choose Window > Output > Preflight, and double-click the Preflight icon at the bottom of the document window. The Preflight icon is green if no errors are detected or red if errors are detected. The Preflight panel is shown in the image below.




Answer A is incorrect. The Flattener Preview panel is used to see what page items (typically those with transparency) are flattened (made solid) during printing or exporting to Encapsulated PostScript (EPS), Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG, a vector format for the Web), or Portable Document Format (PDF) format. Flattening occurs for printing devices and graphics export formats that do not support transparency. To open the Flattener Preview panel, Choose Window > Output > Flattener.
