Hello, I have not found a way of exporting to a pdf from Publisher without it changing the colors. I have a test image (Digital Masters) in Publisher with the document color format CMYK/8. I have exported in all nine pdf formats and, while there are small colour differences among them, ALL of them have pinker flesh tones than the image in Publisher. I have also tried many variants, for example making sure that conversion is done to the document space. I have used both PDFSAM and Foxit as the pdf applications from which I print and the results are the same. I have the color locked in Publisher. I checked by unlocking and it was, as expected, CMYK. I use a calibrated NEC Spectraview monitor and create my own ICC profiles for printing on a Canon PRO-100 printer. The prints are indistinguishable from what I see on the monitor (I do not have a calibrated viewing station so there may very well be slight differences, but too small for me to worry about.) I use color management done by the printer in both cases. Both prints look (as near as I can tell) exactly like their corresponding image on the monitor - but the pdf image is markedly different from the one in Publisher. Can anyone suggest what I have done wrong? Sincerely, Robin
