Jan 21, 2010 'Simulate Overprinting' works, but only as a way to emulate a true overprint for a printer/rip that does not understand or recognize overprint attributes. The only time 'Simulate Overprinting' does anything is if there is a overprint attribute on an object(s) in the PDF. Jun 14, 2017 Simulate Overprinting for PDFs PDF files are commonly used in the printing industry for proofing jobs before the job is printed on press. You can use the ' Use Overprint Preview ' (or similar) feature in Adobe Acrobat, Reader, Illustrator, Indesign and other software.

On both Mac and Windows when I print a document there is an advanced screen that allows me to select an option called Simulate Overprinting, however such an option doesn't appear on the Ubuntu version.
Overprinting refers to the process of printing one colour on top of another in reprographics. This is closely linked to the reprographic technique of 'trapping'. Another use of overprinting is to create a rich black (often regarded as a colour that is 'blacker than black') by printing black over another dark colour.
This is an issue for us, as we're trying to print documents that need flattening (this is what overprinting does).
Am I missing something here, is there a way to enable overprinting on printed PDFs?
Note: Please don't confuse simulate overprinting with overprint preview, of which doesn't apply when printing.
Just to show you what I'm looking for, this is the Print > Advanced screen..

- Use (a very recent version of) Ghostscript to apply the SimulateOverprint option to your original file.
- Use the output of Ghostscript to send to the printer.
The Ghostscript command would be:
To view this option try install original Adobe Reader for Windows or MacOS to their corresponding virtual machine (vm).
PDF format development depends on the proprietary library controlled by Adobe. Not surprising option do not exist. Look this comparison chart:
Comparison of OpenXPS and PDF
Most interesting moment here is two rows:
Alpha channel in color definitions - OpenXPS: Yes - PDF: Not
Support for multiple transparency blending modes - OpenXPS: ? - PDF: Yes
Many different ways exist to to view PDF and print it under Linux.
I count this question point to the problem around original PDF representation inside Ubuntu environments. You can try to use Scribus software for converting PDF to open formats, but latest fixes there also include 'disabled overprint feature' due to buggy output.
