Why do you want to remove it? The overprint command is to ensure clean printing with no small white gaps which can occur if the printing press is not tightly calibrated.

Thank you very much for taking a long time, it is not the offset printing, we have to get ready for digital process, as i am opening the file in adobe photoshop for creating a tiff format, it is not showing overprint material.

OK I am not an Illustrator user. I have Illustrator CS5 but I rarely open it. I do use Photoshop for some things. So I am probably not the person to ask. But your question had not been answered and I wanted to see if I could offer anything.

I suggest going to the Adobe Illustrator support page on Adobe.com and check their FAQs.

The newer versions of Illustrator (and all the CS) also have a very good search function where you can key in a question or a few keywords and get related answers and often articles. This might be your best bet.

Sorry I am not able to help.
