Learn how to prepare a PDF file with white color for printing in Adobe Illustrator, using a spot color, as well as how to export Adobe Illustrator files to PDF format.

First, you need to delete the default white swatch and create a new one in a different color to make it visible in the PDF file. Next, you need to cut out the part of the image that will be printed in white on a new layer and fill it with the newly created swatch. And don't forget to set the "Overprint fill". When you're done, export a PDF file with the specified settings.
