I created a single color (black) in a CMYK color space in Affinity Designer 2. I then placed the image into a Publisher 2 document which was 2-color (again in a CMYK color space. The two colors were Black and Cyan. So far so good. I created a Press Ready PDF. When I checked the PDF in Acrobat I found I still had a two colors document but the object I created in Affinity Designer 2 now was 4-color! What?? I even tried an illustrator EPS with the same effect. The one color object becomes a four color document when I export the 2-color Publisher 2 document to a PDF.

Any ideas what is causing this?? On this project I had to revert to an older copy of InDesign CS5 when everything worked just find. For some reason Publisher 2 is taking placed EPS, PS and other files and exporting them in the PDF as 4 color. Again, the Publisher 2 file I created is just fine. It’s always the placed file. I hope this makes sense.

Love any thoughts on this.

Ensure that you have the same document color profile applied both in the placed Designer file and the Publisher file (you might have the default U.S. Web Coated v2 in the other, and e.g. Coated Fogra 39 or some other common European press profile in another.
