TomHu Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 RE: Affinity Designer 1.8.6 macOS I'm unable to export my files to PDF with intact Pantone spot colors, all the colors are being converted to CMYK. I've added Pantone spot colors to all items of a stationery system I laid out in AD. These are the color settings for my documents: And these are the export settings: The printer I send these files to tells me that all the files are in CYMK. What am I doing wrong?

MikeW Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 The Pantone colors you are using in your screen shots are from the Uncoated Bridge pallete I believe. They will always separate into cmyk or rgb colors depending on the pdf color model being used. You need to use the appropriate one of these two in order to maintain spot color.
