PrintSeparations.PreserveOverprints property

Specifies whether the document overprints should be preserved

Syntax:

Property Get PreserveOverprints() As Boolean
Property Let PreserveOverprints(ByVal Value As Boolean)

Remarks:

The PreserveOverprints property specifies a Boolean (True or False) value that indicates whether to maintain document-overprint settings in a print job.

Examples:

The following VBA example creates two overlapping rectangles with uniform fills. It then enables separations, specifies the PreseveOverprints property as True, and prints the document.

Sub Test()
Dim s As Shape
Dim doc As Document
Set doc = CreateDocument
With doc
  Set s = .ActiveLayer.CreateRectangle(2.110157, 9.605512, 5.69315, 6.94315, 0, 0, 0, 0)
  s.Fill.UniformColor.CMYKAssign 100, 0, 0, 0
  s.Outline.Type = cdrNoOutline
  Set s = .ActiveLayer.CreateRectangle(3.428898, 8.859055, 7.111417, 5.89811, 0, 0, 0, 0)
  s.Fill.UniformColor.CMYKAssign 0, 100, 0, 0
  s.Outline.Width = 0.33333
  s.Outline.Color.CMYKAssign 0, 100, 0, 0
  s.OverprintOutline = True
  With .PrintSettings.Separations

 .PreserveOverprints = True

 .Enabled = True
  End With
  .PrintOut
End With 
End Sub
