Hi Jacob Thank you for your reply.
I don't want to select the "Convert CMYK Colors to RGB" option. In fact, I never want to "convert" colors, because I think that "converting colors" gives unpredictable results and is therefore a bad idea. Remapping colors, using tools like Enfocus PitStop, works better. So, if I use CMYK in Frame, I want CMYK in my PDFs as well, but that's a different (Windows GDI) issue. -- Yves Barbion www.scripto.nu On Wed, Dec 9, 2009 at 4:33 PM, Jacob Sch?ffer <js at grafikhuset.dk> wrote: > Unfortunately the "Save As PDF" function in FM9 has some problems with the > font handling engine.
