Converting CMYK colors to spot color?

Apr 26, 2012 8:21 PM

Categories: Windows Tags: #printing #preflight #acrobat_10_pro

My publisher/printer requests a "hi-res pdf" as camera ready copy for a book I'm writing which will be printed in 2 colors (black and a spot color shade of blue). The pages have images from various sources and text with CMYK approximations of that blue which I'd like to convert to the spot color. Is there a convenient way to do this sort of operation through "preflight" or convert colors - so the final document has only K of CMYK and the spot color?

FWIW, this feature is also built into Publisher under Tools > Commercial Printing Tools > Color Printing - use Spot Colors
