Complete Area Renders the area within the bounding boxes of all transparent objects, as well as objects that are overlapped by transpar- ent objects (or intervening objects). This is the best setting to use when you print to a non-PostScript printer, such as a Windows GDI printer, to avoid color-matching problems Entire Document Renders all objects in the document as one or more images that are sent to the printer. This is equivalent to process- ing the document in an internal RIP (raster image processor) in Can- vas. This option produces the greatest amount of image data. However, this option can be useful if you experience problems pro- ducing accurate output of transparency or other effects when you use a particular printer or printer driver. Don’t Render Transparent Objects Does not render any transpar- ency effects in the document. If you select this option, transparency (SpriteLayer) and image (SpriteEffects) effects will not be printed; transparent objects will be printed as opaque objects. The one exception to this rule involves vector objects that have a transparency Scope setting of Fill only when printing to a PostScript printer, because PostScript can print transparent fill inks in vector objects without rendering. For information on the Scope setting, see “To set an object’s transparency scope” on page 20.359. You might want to select Don’t Render Transparent Objects if you need to quickly print a proof of a complex document. This allows you to check the positioning of objects without seeing the final transpar- ency effects. Printing text with effects Text Always In Front Because of the way that Canvas renders SpriteLayer effects, text that is not in front of all other objects can be output as rendered images rather than text. If you want to avoid ren- dering of text for printing, select this option. Canvas will print the text objects in front of all other objects. Tip If you have text that has spe- cial effects or is behind trans- parent objects, you should not select this option, so the text will be rendered and printed as it appears in the document.
