Does anyone know why pdf's in OS X.3 and higher knocksout screens behind black type no matter what the designer sets the trap to? It happens in Acrobat and InDesign in OS X. I can place and print the same file in InDesign OS 9 and the trap info. retains and prints properly. Thank you in advance.

Are you making PDFs via the Apple OSX feature?

No. We only print postscript files and distill. Our customers are supposed to be following the same instructions. When printing from the pdf or placing it in InDesign, in OS X, type knocksout. When placed in InDesign in OS 9, it overprints. I even had one of our sister companies reproduce the problem to verify that it isn't our rips. Thanks for posting.

Have you tested with the overprint preview turned ON within both 
applications?

Acrobat / Advanced / Overprint Preview
InDesign / View / Overprint Preview

Well, I haven't printed certain jobs for the last four months because of this problem. The girl with OS 9 prints them and when I tried to test your theory, I can't recreate the problem. Thank you for your response.

No, I can't recreate the problem now so, I have no files to post. I can't figure out what happened. It must have finally been corrected by one of the updates I just put on my computer last month. Which is strange since some problems weren't being fixed since they now have CS2 out. Thanks for all of your help Jon.
