JC_ngandI Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 I believe I have found a bug in build 249 but it could be my ignorance of using the software. I had a document containing colour text and images but I needed to create a black & white version so I assigned the Grey/8 colour profile to it. This changed all the content to grey when viewing in Publisher and the exported PDF was also greyscale - so far so good. I then pasted in some additional content which was a mix of colour text and colour images. This was all displayed as greyscale in publisher, however the exported PDF still had the images in colour - the copied in text was correctly greyscale. I tried changing the profile of the whole document to CMYK and then back to grey but this did not fix it. The only way I could get a grey PDF was to convert it using mac tools. I've attached a screenshot showing the affinity view and the PDF in preview side by side. It seems as if the grey colour profile is not properly being honoured for images when pasting in the mixed content. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Pauls Posted March 8, 2019 Staff Share Posted March 8, 2019 Using the PDF/X type export profiles seem to handle it correctly. Can you confirm what export profile you were using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC_ngandI Posted March 8, 2019 Author Share Posted March 8, 2019 Hi Pauls, I just tried exporting in all the PDF/X formats and they all have the images in colour. The image that was in the document before I set the colour profile correctly displays and outputs in greyscale. It is the two colour images that were pasted in later that display in greyscale but output as colour. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC_ngandI Posted March 10, 2019 Author Share Posted March 10, 2019 I've attached the afpub file and the exported PDF. To my mind it seems as if all the text, lines and images (the loco on the bottom LH corner) in the original colour document were converted when I set the colour profile to grey, but the two new images were not converted properly when I pasted them into the doc - they display in AF Pub as grey but a colour in the PDF.
