Make sure it’s in PDF format. If it has layers, you can switch between them on the left panel in the Review Tool.

Separate the colors

In the Review Tool, find the Color Separation feature on the right tool panel. The system will need to generate service files for the separation to display. 

 

 

The CMYK channels

Find the CMYK channels on the right panel. If you uncheck three of them, you’ll get a B&W screen of the remaining checked channel.

Special colors & overprint

If your file has those, the settings will appear alongside the CMYK channels. To simulate an overprint, check the corresponding box.
