Si M Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 I am using fully updated Windows 10 and AP and am a home user with print experience. Standard recent hardware. I have created a couple of simple application palettes of specific spot colours (using your tutorials/help files) and have exported these to my workplace and vice versa. These spot colours have very specific names which will be understood by the RIP on a Xerox Iridesse etc. and are always used on their own layer(s). When I use these in a new document the spot colours lose their spot indication in the palette but still say 'spot' in the toolbar colour selector (see screenshot). However when I export these documents to pdf the colour name reverts to the original pantone nomenclature. (Acrobat: print production/output preview). Renaming the spot colour within the palette shows that is already correctly named (same screenshot). As I have been through the Tutorials etc. several times I think this may be a bug but I am happy to stand corrected if need be.

Staff Gabe Posted January 12, 2021 Staff Share Posted January 12, 2021 Hi @Si M, Sorry for the delayed reply and welcome to the forums. By the looks of it, that objects is using a Pantone colour and not the spot colour you've got in the attached afpalette (Gold). I can't seem to replicate this here: The export is fine too, with the correct names. Screen_Recording_2021-01-12_at_12_43_53.mov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Gabe Posted January 26, 2021 Staff Share Posted January 26, 2021 Hi @MxHeppa, You would need to tick the "Honour spot colours" in the PDF > More dialog if you're using your own preset. All default presets from the dropdown menu already have that ticked so it will honour it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
