You can use the Arizona Xpert Extensions for Adobe PhotoShop or Adobe Illustrator to create the design for a [Block out] application and save your design as an Xpert [Block out] PDF file.
The name of your Xpert PDF file contains the name of the original PDF file, followed by the effect type and the level of opacity, e.g. adobe_recipes_all_v2_Blockout_High-mirror-back-image-new.pdf.
IMPORTANT
Before you open an Xpert PDF file in the Arizona Xpert Engine, make sure you have defined the correct default settings for the built-in recipes for Xpert PDF files (See Define the default settings for the built-in recipes for Xpert PDF files).
The [Block out] recipe contains 5 layers, printed on the front side of the media.
