To Reduce
Use This Method
Consider This
All spot colors
during refine
Change a setting in the
refine process
template (in the
Spot
Color Handling
section).
This is possible during any refine whether you are refining input files
or pages.
With this method, you have to convert all spot colors to process
color. You cannot omit or map spot colors.
This method works only with composite file, not with separated
files.
Individual spot
colors during
refine
Use the Color Mapping
dialog box when
running the refine
process.
This is possible only when refining pages not when refining input
files.
With this method, you have can convert, omit, or map spot colors.
If the file is separated, you cannot convert spot colors to process
color. You can map a spot color to another spot color, but only using
existing separations.
If you use the Color Mapping dialog box and edit the process
template during the same refine process, the most recently applied
settings take precedence.

About reducing and preserving spot colors in proofs
When you generate proofs, you can reduce spot colors by converting
them to process color, mapping them to other spot colors, or omitting
them entirely.
When you preserve or reduce spot colors in a proof, the changes that
you make affect only the proof. The PDF digital master remains
unchanged.
