PFD Export from Affinity Publisher

[Der blaue Hansen]

Dear fellow designers, just recently I tried to export a PDF from a Publisher document – a book cover design with an embedded .tif. I tried several job options to create a press ready PDF file, but the CMYK values of the embedded PDF always turned out different from the original file. That's quite an issue, especially if you work on a corporate design for a long running book edition, were precise color rendition is a must. To meet the deadline I had to switch back to InDesign and rebuild the whole design. 

As I would like to keep using Publisher in the future I am sure there must be a solution for this problem. Do you have a suggestion?

Thank you very much in advance! Best, Hans

Hi @Der blaue Hansenand Welcome to the Forums,

Can you load the afpub file to our Dropbox here and I'll be able to look into whats happening?  I know you mentioned the PDF is embedded but can you double-check that using the Resource Manager on the Window menu and make sure it is embedded and not linked, as that ensures i'll get a copy of the PDF as well
