Gaunilo Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 I tried to export a document into PDF-X3 or X4. When doing so… …text in black got separated into CMYK …text and elements on a background lost all trappings. Only resolution was to export in PDF 1.7 Whatever adjustments are made in the pdf export menu get ignored/overwritten. Quite annoying to be honest.

Gaunilo Posted November 7, 2020 Author Share Posted November 7, 2020 I've uploaded it. Sorry for the late reply… I forgot to set notification on replies. My bad. I do hope you can tell me why I was unable to produce a k-only pdf. Thank you very much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Gabe Posted November 9, 2020 Staff Share Posted November 9, 2020 Thanks. It does seem to be a problem with PDF/X formats. Issue logged. You could use PDF for export as a workaround? CLC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaunilo Posted November 9, 2020 Author Share Posted November 9, 2020 Sadly I couldn't even exporting as PDF 1.7 didn't lead to a correct result consistently. In the end we fixed it in the RIP at the printers. Made me look like an incompetent fool. As I want to use Publisher for many upcoming book projects it would be great if you could tell me how to fix it. Thanks a lot! CLC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Gabe Posted November 9, 2020 Staff Share Posted November 9, 2020 Did you have problems with the same afpub file? If I export it as PDF (for export) I get the correct result, with only one(Black) plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaunilo Posted November 9, 2020 Author Share Posted November 9, 2020 Yes, I did. I have no idea what goes wrong. Can you please send me a screenshot of the settings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Gabe Posted November 10, 2020 Staff Share Posted November 10, 2020 The pdf you've attached is greyscale. What do you this it's wrong with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaunilo Posted November 10, 2020 Author Share Posted November 10, 2020 In that case everything is ok. My printing house said my PDFs are all in CMYK. Either they made a mistake or I did. Anyway – thanks a lot! The PDF X4 is still unresolved but you said you already logged it. So thanks for that as well. Sorry for the bother.
