Garima, when I do File > Save as PDF in FrameMaker11, I first get a dialog to choose file name and destination, then I get a "PDF Setup for Selected File" dialog. The first tab of this is labelled "Settings" and has a panel on it with just two radio buttons, only labelled "RGB" and "CMYK", no explanation. Is this what you mean by "Uncheck the option for 'Convert CMYK colors to RGB'" ?

Modify a job option to change color setting to 'leave color unchanged'. Steps are: Select: File->print setup. The printer selected should be 'Adobe PDF'. Click on properties. click 'Edit' for any job option(which is to be used to generate PDF) in Default settings. Go to 'color' tab. In 'color management policies' change option to "Leave color unchanged. 2. Do 'Save as PDF': In PDF job options, select the job option created in step1 Uncheck the option for 'Convert CMYK colors to RGB' Would suggest you to use the above settings for getting CMYK colors in PDF. In case you are just interested in retaining CMYK colors for 'TIF' images, then you can use the flag 'ConvertGraphicsToEPS'. Open maker.ini file present in $FmHome directory. Mark "ConvertGraphicsToEPS" as On. Restart Framemaker. Now, even if "Convert CMYK colors to RGB" option is checked in PDF set dialog, graphics(jpeg, psd, tiff) will retain CMYK colors. Hope this helps.

So Windows won't RGBify it and will leave CMYK and Pantone intact.
