Hi, I have designed a business card in quark 8 that has text using 2 spot colours. I also have an iso quality badge that needs to be on the business card as a spot colour. The badge was supplied to me as a font. The problem is that if i add the badge in quark as a text box using the font it looks awful when exported as a pdf! So i tried using the font in illustrator cs3 (using a spot colour) and exporting it as a tiff then imported the tiff into quark and when exported as a pdf it looks much better. The problem is it is showing as process black in quark not a spot colour!
Can anyone advice me on why the font exports from quark so badly as a pdf and how to fix it or how to preserve a spot colour from illustrator cs3
I have attached the pdf that shows the font exported from quark, its on page 2

I don't know what you are seeing, but it looks great here! Proper filled text in a DeviceN spot. Scales nicely. Prints nicely.
Hi everyone, thanks for the replies. The problem was that i was viewing the pdf in mac os x preview app and it showed the badge really bad but when i look at the pdf in adobe acrobat pro it is fine. I feel a bit stupid now but thanks again.
Seriously, is it really necessary to quote the question when

2. You're the first one answering.
I think we can deduce what question you are answering with your reply. We're all educated people here.....

But, really. I'm needling you. But it might be because that QUOTE is a big, huge button and is easier to find, click than that panzitude looking reply icon.
