skyking Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 I have created several blocks in a form: Some as 100% black, some are 100% Cyan and the same for Magenta and Yellow. In the form are some 4-color images as well. The color profile is set for CMYK for high end digital printing. When I create a PDF all the 100% items are converted to CMYK!! What?? So my black, for example, is now a 100% build of CMYK. How the heck do I create PDF's and keep items that are 100% at 100% in the PDF and a 4-color build??

Staff Sean P Posted February 5, 2019 Staff Share Posted February 5, 2019 Hi James, Would you be able to attach a copy of the document you are exporting and a screenshot showing your full PDF export settings (shown in the More dialog). Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyking Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 It turns out the the specialized EPS file I am using is converting everything to CMYK. I have provided that file to the engineers at Serif. Once I deleted the EPS file everything worked fine. The EPS file is a specialized digital printing target. It’s only 4.5 megs but takes forever to place in Publisher and Designer. It’s a very weird file. However, that being said the file works without any issues with InDesign but has issues with Illustrator. Thanks for your help! Sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
