alhagrafisk Posted February 22, 2023 Posted February 22, 2023 macOS Monterey 12.6.3. Publisher 2.0.4. Conversion to PDF. Text color CMYK 0/0/0/100, text style CMYK 0/0/0/100. In PDF, text has been changed to CMYK 71/66/60/79. This creates a risk of mismatch in the printing. Is it a setting or is it a bug. pdf_settings.afphoto Quote

Looking at the "screenshot" (?!) of your settings, it's likely caused by profile mismatch because you are embedding the document profile into the PDF.

alhagrafisk Posted February 22, 2023 Author Posted February 22, 2023 It makes no difference. Text still being changed to 71/66/60/79 Spoiler Spoiler Quote

alhagrafisk Posted February 22, 2023 Author Posted February 22, 2023 I export to PDF (For print) Quote

alhagrafisk Posted February 22, 2023 Author Posted February 22, 2023 I try to do as you do and send a page of another printed matter to a printing house. Will return when I hear from them. Quote
alhagrafisk Posted February 24, 2023 Author Posted February 24, 2023 I have found the error. I always use FOGRA39 when I convert to CMYK. The printer I sent the files to, did not use FOGRA39, when he opened the files. The second printer I sent a sample file to, used FOGRA39 and then all text was in 0/0/0/100. So it was a human error! Next time I send files to print, I want to point out that they need to use the right profile. Hangman 1 Quote

Or use PDF/X-4 if the printer accepts it.
