Joachim_L Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Not working as I expect. 1) Created a simple document in Indesign with 3 coloured rectangles (1 spot, 1 RGB, 1 CMYK) plus some text in black. 2) Exported as PDF X-3. 3) Openend PDF in Publisher and created document palette from document. Result: Having now 5 colours in the document palette. One seems to be white, but if I use the CMYK slider it has 1% Cyan (rest 0). When you click the spot colour rectangle and look at the colour it says spot colour. If you look at the colour in the palette the colour is not marked as spot. Unfortunately I can't convert this colour into spot again. Unless you are not going to re-assign the colours from the palette the correct colour information of the objects is still intact. Other observation: Although imported the palette from the document the colours seem to have nothing in common. E.g. clicking on one rectangle I expect to see the colour marked in the palette, but this is not working. If you re-assign the colour from the palette for the objects the fill will be shown in the palette. farben.pdf ------ Windows 10 | i5-8500 CPU | Intel UHD 630 Graphics | 32 GB RAM | Latest Retail and Beta versions of complete Affinity range installed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Jon P Posted March 8, 2019 Staff Share Posted March 8, 2019 Hi Joachim, Unfortunately create document from palette isn't designed to work this way at the moment. There are future plans to improve this feature to correctly retrieve fills that are used in the correct colour modes. Essentially at the moment it just retrieves a render of the pdf which is leading to some inaccuracies Thanks Serif Europe Ltd. - www.serif.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Publisher should at least recognize its own colours. palette-from-document.afpub ------ Windows 10 | i5-8500 CPU | Intel UHD 630 Graphics | 32 GB RAM | Latest Retail and Beta versions of complete Affinity range installed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Gabe Posted June 12, 2019 Staff Share Posted June 12, 2019 Hi @Joachim_L, What build are you on at the moment? I believe this is fixed as I cannot replicate it in the latest build we've got. Thanks, Gabe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joachim_L Posted June 12, 2019 Author Share Posted June 12, 2019 Please double-click the colours having now in your palette and look up their definitions. They should differ from the coloured rectangles you created first. ------ Windows 10 | i5-8500 CPU | Intel UHD 630 Graphics | 32 GB RAM | Latest Retail and Beta versions of complete Affinity range installed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
