That choice is not in the print preview section.

It should be under File towards the bottom.

It is not an option while in print preview.

Ah I see what you mean. Sorry I don't have an answer. The folks that do there seps manually will probably know. I use Simple Seps and it brings up the seps on the page and then you print. Maybe if you send me the file I can do that for you. You would have to save it back to x4 though.

You may need to manually change each plate to black, and then use the Publish to PDF option

This may require selecting all unwanted color objects and making them white

Print option, No. You can do like frog says or copy and paste on separate pages for each color, then change the colors you don't want to white and the part you do as black. Are you using a Rip it should be able to take a spot/cmyk made design and separate the pdf as all color, I would think. My rip I just print to the rip and it does the rest til I say print the file.

 install a PDF writer like cutepdf (free) as a printer option.  I do this to send out PDFs of approvals and artwork. I would think it should work for your seps.

I have T Rip with an Epson 3000...BUT....I ran out of ink and film and did not restock BECAUSE I recently landed Oyo Thermal Image Setter and have been using that to print my films.....BUT the seps I did print thus far were either professionally sep'ed for me and sent to me in PDF format...OR it was just a one color spot job and I was able to send to a PDF.

This job is the first one I sep'ed on my own (5 color spot job).....and once I sep'ed it in coreldraw x5 it hit me.."hey...how do I get this to the oyo?".....so then i started trying to figure out how to get the print preview seps to publish to a PDF.......and you can't do it it seems....so now im lost hahah.

Publish to PDF is not in the print options. It is its own option under file. Like Frog said simply sep each color to a seperate page and then go to "File" and select publish to PDF.

OK can the rip for the oyo separate the file (the combined colro file) as pdf into 5 color spot thru the rip. Try it. I would think it could.

to be honest, I have not had it long and do not know all the ins and outs of it....since ive had it (a few months) all the seps I printed out of it were sent to me in PDF format...so I know that process of printing from the PDF...as far as taking an actual file and sending it thru, I have no clue....just never had the time to sit and investigate it...the tech guys from Oyo (now called Exile) are very helpful...I have emailed them asking how to do this..and plan on calling them one day.

If you download cutepdf it installs as a printer you would select print and then select the PDF writer as your printer. I find it works well and often times use it instead of exporting
