Selecting a PPD file
To define the output device for the sep-
aration, you select the PostScript Printer
Description (PPD) file that corresponds
to your printer or imagesetter. To obtain
PPD files not included with the program,
see the ReadMe file in the Utilities/PPDs
folder in the Illustrator folder.
A PPD file contains information about
your output device, including its resolu-
tion, available page sizes, line screen
rulings, and screen angles. Loading the
file displays the different settings for
the output device in the Separation
Setup dialog box.
To select a PPD file:
1
In the Separation Setup dialog box,
click Open PPD.
2 Locate the PPD folder, which was
placed in the Utilities folder when you
installed the Adobe Illustrator program.
If you didn’t install the PPD folder when
you installed Adobe Illustrator, install
the folder now; see Adobe Illustrator
Getting Started for instructions.
