Yves,
thank you for your help.
I followed "solution 3" of the Adobe TechNote ("solution 1" being already
partially done by importing .eps files into my template, and "solution 2" using
a plug-in I do not have), which consists to set the GetLibraryColorRGBFromCMYK
option to "None" in the Maker.ini file.
Everything ran smoothly afterwards.
Thanks a lot and have a nice day,
Mathieu.
