Separation preview?

So sending separations is working for you

Yes I tested with the uploaded file. When printing, I enabled all color channels (with the icons in the first column) and I just gave a simple file name (test1.pdf).
I got 6 files with the name augmented by the color channel name.

Wow that would be ideal - just can't trick it into producing a file - is it because I'm saving to desktop?

@Dazmondo The first option "PDF File" should be working.
Try disabling "Background Printing" in preferences.

Tried = no PDF produced so tried unticking seps = great composit PDF with spots intact (see grab) re-tick seps = no output???
Would you recommend switching background printing back on?

Yes, at least here it does not affect the output.

Can you make a recording of the whole thing (with Separate checked). Including the part where the folder and file name for the output is selected.

Vid grab: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1L8GPvPbDlN7sHjvoy_joJTQaFpOX5lY3/view?usp=sharing

Note: The Test.pdf file on my desktop is a composite which produce great - also doing a find for TestA.pdf (the seps pdf produced in the vid grab) finds no match

Thanks

@Dazmondo All looks correct in the recording. But! there could be another issue.

Do you have it through the App Store?

This might be a bug the way file names are generated by VS, and the Mac App Store sandboxing.

Yes boss -- Mac app store version

@Dazmondo Then that is the issue.

@VectorStyler You should have a new email with a license for regular VS. If you are willing to try, this one is notarized (Apple) but not sandboxed.

Wow you really are a true genius --- 7 separation PDFs produced, now working great

@Dazmondo Amazing! Awesome job persevering and sticking in there with it all. I want to echo his compliments to you @VectorStyler - you are indeed a genius. I'm impressed so often by what you figure out and solve and how quickly you make it happen
