PDF-export honors no spotcolors

[muelli75]

Usage of ADesigner 1.9.1

I want to export a CMYK-File and I want that the exported PDF contains a spotcolor. I tried several possibilities - but the goal is not reached. The exported PDF contains no spotcolor, the export is converted to CMYK.

 

Here are some pictures:

I choosed the spotcolor for this circle

 

I choosed "honor spotcolors" in the exportsettings

 

 

Here is the result, shown in Adobe Acrobat in the Preview-Panel: there is no spotcolor.

Hi muelli75,

The colour you're pointing at hasn't been set to a spot. Spot colours are identified by having a dot in the lower right of them. The top right indicator is that it has overprint applied to it, and the lower left is that it is a Global Colour.

When you create the Global Colour you need to ensure you check the 'Spot' option.
