OK, cheers, Matt! :) Re: talk of the "GDI" - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphics_Device_Interface isn't giving me an unequivocal answer, but surely this 16 bit API is not getting used by FrameMaker in a 64bit Win7 or Win8 environment? Or is it...?
David From: Matt Sullivan [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 30 July 2013 23:02 To: Davis, David; <[email protected]> List Subject: Re: A Pantone colour definition question David, define your color as Pantone 390C, specify spot color, and use the CMYK representation as the definition. Arnis may jump in to explain when Windows stopped bolloxing the colors, but with Win7, you should have no problems with the file. Doing a Save as PDF, using the Adobe PDF print driver should respect the spot color in the PDF, and if sent to a CMYK device, respect the color you defined in the doc. Try all of this and let me know if it doesn't work as promised. -Matt Matt R.

They're asking for "Pantone 390C" So, if I go to View > Colour > Definitions, then Colour Definitions, I can chose "PANTON(r) Coated" from the list. However, the dialog this brings up is offering colours with a "CVC" suffix. The Branding Guide I'm using also has a suggest CYMK match for the Pantone colour. Does this actually work though? Or will Frame still turn the spot-ink named Pantone into an RGB value when distill it to a PDF?
