Ondrejcz Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 I have a simple document in Publisher with some images placed inside. After placing them inside the Publisher document, I have edited the images using the Photo persona, just tweaking the levels a bit. The image looks correct inside Publisher, but looks bad in PDF - almost as if the edits I made in Photo persona were not applied at all. I am exporting to PDF with the "PDF (for print)" settings applied. I have also tried setting the Rasterise property from "Nothing" to "Unsupported properties", which does seem to apply the adjusted levels to the image, but in an overly-corrective way. Just to be sure: I am trying to have the PDF look as the thing I see in Publisher. Could anyone push me in the right direction, please? source_file.afpub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joachim_L Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 You do know, that this (and most images) are in RGB? Please convert them to CMYK and try again.

I do know that the image is going to have to be eventually converted to CMYK, naturally, but I was wondering if there was any way to avoid having to do this manually, maybe by applying some setting during the export. I have tried converting the image to CMYK Fogra 29 inside the photo persona, used it inside the Publisher file and then exported it as a PDF for print. The result is clearly closer to what I wanted to achieve, but there are still obvious differences (see the second and third image below). Also, when I converted the image to CMYK, although it exports to PDF correct-ish, it displays weird inside Publisher, which makes judging if the image is correctly colored or not a hassle. Is there any way to force Publisher to display the CMYK image as Acrobat does with the exported PDF? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joachim_L Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Any chance to get the above image and the exported PDF?

Ondrejcz Posted August 1, 2019 Author Share Posted August 1, 2019 Sure, here they are. The source file for the PDF is in one of the posts above. I am also attaching the original RGB version of the image without any edits of the levels applied to it. PDF.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
