Example

Managing color separations for printing

// Creates a new document with symbol items
// and prints document with each separation option

// Add some symbol items to a new document
var docRef = documents.add();
var y = docRef.height - 30;

for (var i = 0; i < (docRef.symbols.length); i++) {
 symbolRef = docRef.symbols[i];

 symbolItemRef1 = docRef.symbolItems.add(symbolRef);
 symbolItemRef1.top = y;
 symbolItemRef1.left = 100;

 y -= (symbolItemRef1.height + 10);
}

// Print with various separation options
var sepOptions = new PrintColorSeparationOptions();
var options = new PrintOptions();
options.colorSeparationOptions = sepOptions;

sepOptions.convertSpotColors = true;
sepOptions.overPrintBlack = true;
sepOptions.colorSeparationMode = PrintColorSeparationMode.COMPOSITE;
docRef.print(options);

sepOptions.colorSeparationMode = PrintColorSeparationMode.INRIPSEPARATION;
docRef.print(options);

sepOptions.convertSpotColors = false;
sepOptions.overPrintBlack = false;
