      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? 0_1658935747002_Screen Grab 2022-07-27 at 4.13.50 pm.png

        @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???0_1658937203488_Screen Grab 2022-07-27 at 4.51.41 pm.png
          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.

                    @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.
