I am a prepressman at a print shop, and we have customers who send us complicated documents in Word that we want to touch as little as possible, as it is more of a liability the more we alter a customer's art.

When using the standard colors, even what is labeled as "black" comes out as a CMYK mix on our plates and in Acrobat's "Separation Preview". We need 100% black with no other colors.

I noted that you can add a CMYK K (0,0,0,100), so I added that color to the color palette, but even with text with this color still prints to the aforementioned color mix. It appears that no matter what color I choose, it still exports the file as an RGB file. Is there a way to export as CMYK?

Currently I am printing to a .prn file with settings for our plate maker and distilling it with Adobe Distiller. We've had this problem with Microsoft's Office products, and it would be absolutely awesome if there was some way to get around it with Openoffice.

If you've any experience with this or know of a workaround or a direct solution, I would be most appreciative.

Thank you for your time.
