That's very interesting, this means there must be a problem at printing company end either using CMYK or 2 color printing. I heard they try to save costs by using different methods.

I am using Macbook Pro and the printing company they open the file in Adobe Illustrator on Windows. Is this causing any issue?

I am using CMYK in document setup and the PDF is saved as inherited from the main file. I have attached the sample files how I am doing it.

Ok this file can be seen, please review the test file attached. test-file-AFF.afdesign test-file-PDF.pdf

Thank you so much for the help, can I send the files to you in private because don't want these to be available publicly? I am using CMYK US WEB COATED SWOP V2 as document settings and when saving in PDF it is inherited from main working file in .afdesign.

Good for you that no one did, I did some orders in China they asked for it and I did some orders in my country UAE each and every single printing company have asked for it. I would rather request AFFINITY to add this feature, it is very much needed.

Hello I am really struggling as all the Offset Printing companies say please provide ai file, when I provide PDF, SVG or EPS it doesn't work and the colors change a lot. They always ask for ai file to get the correct print for the designs. What to do here? This is frustrating and I might have to switch to Illustrator Anyone facing this issue? Thank You

Hello Guys This post is quite old, my printing company is asking to send ai or cdr format. What is the solution to this problem because I purchased Affinity Designer and photo to get rid of Adobe. I have also noticed the CMYK PDF format ruins all the color profiles. Even the black color becomes light version of grey for print. Is there any solution?
