Setting up Flattening

In the PitStop Server Hot Folder Editor, select the Flattening category.
Select Resolve transparency checkbox to enable flattening. All objects using a blend mode or transparency will be flattened.
Enable Resolve overprint if you want to flatten overprint objects as well, without changing the visual appearance.
Set the Print resolution. If the flattening result cannot be generated as lineart objects, an image will be generated at the selected resolution.

Note:

If flattening is needed on an RGB object, it will be put in CMYK (+ spot colors) by the flattening mechanism. Objects created by the flattener will always be in CMYK + spots color space.

When the Resolve transparency checkbox is not selected, overprint problems will not be flattened, unless the Resolve overprint checkbox is selected. This means that other transparencies (at least those not interfering with overprint objects) remain in the PDF.
