No correct color separation anymore!!

[Thomahawk]

Not able to produce clean color separation for CMYK print anymore from Designer 2.0.4 and Publisher (Mac Monterey)

I did set all black text to 100% black 0 0 0 and overprint. Color setting of the document cmyk and fogra 27

I did export to Print (druckerei-fertig) PDF as I ever did but when I check in Acrobat (set fogra27), black ist not just 100% black but has all kinds of colors.

What is happening here?

 

I just added to this post I found, that happened to be in Bugs report. But I wanted to get to know from you, if you see the same thing?

I have no other method how to check separation. Is this really an Affinity Export BUG or an Acrobat problem?

Furthermore, I get a better result when I construct a simple new test document "separation test.pdf" with the same black settings, black is 100%, but still overprint is not workin.

In the real document (I include an excerpt here called "test main.pdf") I use the same 100% black setting, and the exported PDF (same settings) does not even make it 100% black.

Why does the same 100% black 0 0 0 overprint setting (partially, still without overprint) work in the new test document, but not with my main document?

I am really at a loss here!

Obsolete.

oh yes, you are right indeed.

I set those to fogra39 in acrobat, seperation looks correct. But this did never happen before. I can open older PDF no matter if set to Web (as it always is coming up in acrobat first) or fogra 27 or 39, separation shows always correct.

I did often set fogra 39 or 27 not really bothering much which one and checked with either one of the two in acrobat. Never had a difference.

seems I have to take that in account from now on.
