PDF import: Spot colour information in a gradient gets converted


Recommended Posts

1. Make a new CMYK document.

2. Import a PDF containing a gradient built with spot colours.

Result: Gradient is converted to CMYK.

@Lagarto This is weird. You picked those Pantone colours from list inside Publisher? I made myself a application wide palette with some colours including HKS 7 and some tone variants of it. Created a gradient from HKS 7 100% to HKS 7 28% and exported without any problem.

Funny thing in your Publisher document is, that Pantone Blue does not appear in the PDF as colour, in fact even Rhodamine is ignored in the upper gradient. But Pantone works as spot colour. For testing I just added two squares with just Blue and Rhodamine.

I guess still not fixed? Spot to white (or any other non-spot) working, spot to spot not. :(
