Yes that is probably true, but more generally when posting here could you please be a bit more explicit, for example I assume you are exporting to PDF, and you have not specified any of the PDF settings, nor have you specified the document colour-space, nor the source of the spot colours (imported or created inside the application). An example file, recipe and some export settings would clarify greatly.

Here are some instructions for all who post here

:D OK, being more precise now.

1. As the title vaguely tells, I have an IDML containing an element with a gradient with a spot colour for start (100%) and end (46%) point.

2. Exporting as X-4, preserving spot colours results in a gradient converted to CMYK.

IDML attached for further examination.

Thx for your advice. Still a problem of the IDML importer.

Yes, APub should interpret the gradient stops correctly.

I only mentioned a work-around in case the issue is affecting working in APub.

Understood, I appreciate your help. A symptom of this community, always helpful. :)
