I had a feeling that was it. Thanks.
I have since talked with my print shop and they can easily manipulate
the acrobat pdf pages in pitstop and get the desired results if they
were doing the files.
Now if my client can get her printer to do the same no problem. If
not she will send them to my printer and be done with it.
Again, thanks for the response.

Scott,
The awful truth is that FrameMaker Windows only produces
RGB output via Windows GDI, even when printing to a
PostScript print, with the exception of EPS files whose
content is passed directly through to a PostScript device.
Thus, so-called spot colors in your document are sent out
as RGB colors as are any other colors in your FrameMaker
document. If your PostScript printer driver instance is
properly setup, at least your black and gray will come
out as grayscale, but any CMYK or spot colors will appear
in PostScript (and in any subsequent PDF) as RGB.
There is at least one third party product out there that
can intercept the RGB and try to resynthesize spot colors.
See <http://www.grafikhuset.net/international/> and more
specifically <http://www.grafikhuset.net/publipdf/default.htm>
for one such program.

Subject: Color seperation help
I have a client who is running windows xp and Frame 7.2. She
sent her files to the printer for a two-color job -- a black
plate and a spot color plate.
Her printer is telling her that her file is coming out on
four plates thus cmyk when it is distilled. We went through
her settings in frame and distiller and she has her files set
correctly. Since I do al color work in Frame on my MAC is
there something I'm missing on the PC settings to ensure a
good file output for a two-color job?
Thanks for the help.
