Colors
Illustrator can define swatches which that are not global colors, while in CHILI publisher (like in Adobe InDesign) all defined colors are global.
Here is a comparison of the terms used by the two systems:
Illustrator | CHILI publisher |
Color | Custom color |
Swatch (without Global option) | Custom color when used on page items, otherwise ignored *** |
Swatch (with Global option) | Color |
Spot color | Spot |
Process color | CMYK, RGB, Lab |
| Info |
|---|
The options “Import all swatches” will force the Global option on every swatch |
Locked layers
To reduce the complexity of CHILI documents, you can use the Locked layers function.
This will improve the Editor speed. You might not need all vector elements, to be editable.
A Locked layer is an Illustrator layer that is converted to a single PDF during the conversion process. This PDF is then placed as an asset in CHILI publisher.
This has some advantages:
Faster conversion process
Faster upload to CHILI publisher
Visual aspect is always preserved
The CHILI document will be light and simple to use
Straightforward editing experience
Locked layer functionality is typically used on background layers, and on layers out of the editing scope.
To create a Locked layer, simply activate the lock icon in the Adobe Illustrator’s Layer panel.
