I am using fully updated Windows 10 and AP and am a home user with print experience. Standard recent hardware.
I have created a couple of simple application palettes of specific spot colours (using your tutorials/help files) and have exported these to my workplace and vice versa. These spot colours have very specific names which will be understood by the RIP on a Xerox Iridesse etc. and are always used on their own layer(s). When I use these in a new document the spot colours lose their spot indication in the palette but still say 'spot' in the toolbar colour selector (see screenshot). However when I export these documents to pdf the colour name reverts to the original pantone nomenclature. (Acrobat: print production/output preview). Renaming the spot colour within the palette shows that is already correctly named (same screenshot). As I have been through the Tutorials etc. several times I think this may be a bug but I am happy to stand corrected if need be.
Cheers,
Si
