PrintSeparations.EmptyPlates property

Specifies whether empty color separation plates should be printed

Syntax:

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

Remarks:

The EmptyPlates property specifies a Boolean (True or False) value that indicates whether to print all plates (including empty ones).

Examples:

The following VBA example creates two rectangles with uniform fills. It then enables print separations and prints all four plates.

Sub Test()
  Dim s As Shape
  Set s = ActiveLayer.CreateRectangle(1.239291, 7.590079, 4.050945, 4.778425, 0, 0, 0, 0)
  s.Fill.UniformColor.CMYKAssign 100, 0, 0, 0
  s.Outline.Type = cdrNoOutline
  Set s = ActiveLayer.CreateRectangle(2.607795, 6.395748, 5.344803, 3.65874, 0, 0, 0, 0)
  s.Fill.UniformColor.CMYKAssign 0, 100, 0, 0
  s.Outline.Type = cdrNoOutline
  With ActiveDocument
    With .PrintSettings
      .Separations.Enabled = True
      .Separations.EmptyPlates = True
      .ShowDialog
    End With
  End With
End Sub
