I haven't had to do this myself in 9, but I remember that people are using Acrobat Pro to set the colors; no plug-ins required.
If I were you, and you wanted the complete scoop, I'd post for details in the Adobe FM user-to-user forum. Arnis, the group moderator, is an expert in print prep and getting 9 to work acceptably. There are also several similar threads in the archives. Cheers, Art Art Campbell art.campb...@gmail.com "...
