No black and white output anymore in Publisher 2.6 on Mac

[Bart Wynants]

I just upgraded to 2.6.

I was working on a document with a grayscale colorspace. On screen it still looks grayscale and when I am going to export to pdf (with color space set to 'as document' or explicitely set to 'grey'), the export preview is still shown in greyscale, but the actual pdf output is color.

Attached a simple example.

Hello @Bart Wynants and welcome to the forums.

If I try to export I become a warning message in preflight that the color profile isn't suitable for pdf/x.

I've ignored the warning and have selected the color profile in the export dialog manualy. See my settings.

I have the same preflight message, that I ignore. This was already on the 2.5 version of publisher, I read somewhere in the forum that it can be ignored.

With the same settings as you, my output is as the attached file, in colour.

Yesterday, before the upgrade, the output was in greyscale.

I'm on 2.6 too but my result is grey. What If you tick Convert image color spaces?

That does the trick!

Thanks a lot.
