Publisher Mac: Why pure black text is exported as CMJN colours?


Recommended Posts

Hello,

I am in the process to create a book with coloured illustrations, therefore I use a CMJN Publisher document. The text in this book is pure black, I mean if I select it and check its colour, it is N:100% and CMJ:0%. For the printer, I exported the file in PDF format using "printing" or "ready to print option", but when we open the PDF file with Acrobat Pro (I also tried Photoshop) the text is no more 100%N but a mix of all four colours?!? I don't understand why as text colour is defined in the CMJN space as pure black… This may be a problem for printing as a minor decay of the 4 colour will have dramatic effects on the text. Maybe I am doing something wrong, but after an exploration of menus and options in Publisher, I still do not have an answer.

If someone has a response and mainly a solution I want it!

Best regards.

Your settings look correct - are you using a PDF/X variant?

I usually leave profile set to document profile, which shouldn't make a difference in your case as you selected the same profile as your document, but you never know - may be worth a try

I tried both without success… I will try PDF/X variant as suggested also in the other reply.
