Printer Color Management
Sends the document’s color data along with the document profile directly to the printer and
lets the printer convert the document to the printer color space. The exact results of the color conversion can vary
among printers.
Same as Source (No Color Management)
Discards all color management information and sends device color to the
printer.
Color Profile
Determines the profile used for handling colors during printing.
Output Color
Displays the output color based on the settings in the Output panel of the Advanced Print Setup dialog
box.
Treat grays as K-only grays
Select this option to ensure that any grayscale as well as RGB graphical objects for which R,
G, B have equal values, are printed using only the black (K) when you enable color management and specify a CMYK
profile printing to a PostScript printer
Preserve Black
Specifies that pure K-based CMYK colors are preserved as K-based in CMYK to CMYK conversions
that may occur when you enable color management and specify a CMYK profile printing to a PostScript printer.
Preserve CMYK Primaries
Specifies that pure primary-based (C only, M only, Y only, or K only) CMYK colors are
preserved in CMYK to CMYK conversions that may occur when you enable color management and specify a CMYK
profile printing to a PostScript printer.
Apply Output Preview Settings
Simulates the print space defined by the device identified in the Simulation Profile
menu of the Output Preview dialog box. (Choose Tools >Print Production > Output Preview.) This option allows you
to simulate the appearance of one device on another.

Preview how colors overprint (Acrobat Pro)
Overprint preview provides an onscreen simulation that approximates blending and overprinting in the color-
separated output. Overprinting effects can also be simulated when you output to a composite printing device. Both of
these methods are useful for proofing color-separated documents.
