LAB spot color export to PDF

[BennyD]

I need some quick help.

How exactly Do I get my CIE/LAB Spot colors to export into my PDF-X3? They are converted to Device-CMYK everytime, no matter what I try.

Just for those of you, who are wondering how it should look like – I mean how it is supposed to be.

Hi @BennyD,

Thanks for your report

I can confirm there is a known issue with colour profiles and exporting to PDF/X versions currently, which is logged with our developers.

I believe the issue you are seeing relates to this known bug, so I have 'bumped' the report with the information provided here now.

We hope to have this resolved in a future update - in the meantime you can export using one of the non-x compatibility options, under the 'More...' menu when exporting and this should be retained.

My apologies for any inconveniences caused here!

Ok, thanks. Let’s hope this will be addressed quickly. 

I tried to follow your suggestions but unfortunately the problem/bug is still present also with the other export profiles.

Cheers

Benny

hey @Dan C
nothing seems to be addressed so far. The Bug still exists in V2.
I would love to see this fixed very soon.

Cheers
