In Brisque, Spot Color information is incorrectly processed when normalized or distilled to PDF 1.3


Product		Brisque 3.0.38 Update CD2 and Brisque 4.0
Platform		Version 3.x: E30 - Victory 43P-140 - Tiger1 43P-150 - Tiger2 F50 - Wildcat (2 and 4 CPUs) Version 4: E30 - Victory 43P-140 - Tiger1 43P-150 - Tiger2 F50 - Wildcat (2 and 4 CPUs) 44P-170 - Hammerhead 6F1 - Condor (2,4 and 6 CPUs)
Operating system		IBM AIX 4.2.1 and IBM 4.3.3

Symptoms		The spot color information does not pass correctly when a PostScript file is Normalized or Distilled to PDF 1.3 (Acrobat 4). On the RIP window, in the Spot Colors box, selecting the All to Spot option changes the Spot information to 100% white.

Cause		On the RIP window, in the Spot Colors box, it is not possible to select the Specific option. Brisque 4 - final production - will solve this problem.

Solution		In the RIP window, Spot Color box, select Specific. The Brisque RIP (Extreme 1.34) is currently able to handle spot color information that is Normalized or Distilled to PDF 1.2 (Acrobat 3) if the Specific option is selected.
