Ok, I tried saving my affinity file into PDF several times and always same result: First I in document setup I changed into Grey/8 (CMYK values = C91/M81/Y64/K95) Then made PDF export "greyscale preset" Then opened the PDF again in Affinity and no luck, the values changed a little but not MYC are not 0 (CMYK values = C84/M84/M78/K99) I add some pic of the settings I use. It feels I am still misiing something. p.s I also made restart for my computer hoping for a miracle - no luck

Ok, that makes sense as some values do not have K100 and in my case the before converting was C91/M81/Y64/K95 and after converting the result on PDF is C84/M84/Y78/C99. So actually there is still no work around in my case. Only as Dan C recommended to change the colours on layers, unfortunately I have a lot of layers and then if selecting them in layers panel I never know which object needs only changing the fill colour or only stroke. So I ended up adding stroke to everything and fill to some layers which did not have fill at the beginning. Is there a way to select same colour/fill objects in Affinity?

Thanks for the replies these help a lot. I tried exporting PDF in grayscale but it seems not to work. First I assigned colour profile to grey/8; black&white in document setup. Then exported and opened the PDF in Affinity and still some curves have different values. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Hi! Im working on simple vector files with only black and red colour, both as outline, fill or both. As these files are not created by one person they have multiple black values in CMYK. How to get all different values into one so I do not have to manually find and change each colour? I tried making a "create palette from document" but I can't merge all different swatches. Or is there a way to change colours when exporting? It adds to my problem that when opening this file and adding a text, the black is automatically rich black not K100 as I need in the whole document. Could this be changed in default settings somewhere so opening new or old file all colours added will be in K100? thanks!
