wonderings Posted March 9, 2021 Posted March 9, 2021 What is your document colour profile? This is a big issue in my opinion and many people have this issue when it should be something so simple. Never heard of anyone with Indesign having anything like this. Just maintain the CMYK value how you set! Quote
rizzosan67 Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 Hello if the "embed profiles" check box is not selected, the pdf export keeps the black at 100% Regards Quote
