I have a 1 spot color piece of art in Illustrator. I have added a drop shadow to it in Illustrator.
First question: Will this now make it a 2 color piece of art (the PMS and black) or will it now be CMYK?
Second: When I place it into my Quark doc and export it out as a HiRes PDF, a white box is showing up where the drop shadow is. Not good. I checked all of my shadow filter settings and it's at 300 dpi, transparent, anti-alias. Any other settings need to be on or off to prevent this from happening?
thanks.

if that dropshadow is a percentage of that 1 colour or still build up from that 1 colour it's still gonna be one colour.

it's a drop shadow I added from the effects menu and it's black, not a tint of the one color. your standard issue drop shadow filter.
btw- moronically, i cant seem to figure out how to get rid of the drop shadow. how?

well if it's black and the 1 spot colour isn't black than you'll get 2 colours. it isn't that hard to manually make a dropshadow build up from that 1 colour.

you're right r& r... make a manual blend of a percentage (or 100%) of the colour to white... use angles with round corners to make it a smooth one... good luck
