I am working with Structured FrameMaker 8 files in which all of the colors are 
set as spot colors. Some of the spot colors in a postscripted FrameMaker 8 file 
processed as CMYK files when the postscripted version of the file was sent to 
the print vendor yesterday. This did not occur with past postscripted files 
that have been sent to the print vendor. The postscript files are generated 
directly from FrameMaker files. The final FrameMaker files are created by 
flowing an xml feed into a Structured FrameMaker template. This process is 
performed every 3 months. In the past the print vendor has had no issues with 
the colors in the postscripted files. I have compared the FrameMaker color 
definitions in the FrameMaker files processed 3 months ago with the color 
definitions in the FrameMaker files processed yesterday. I'm not seeing any 
differences in the color definitions in FrameMaker.

We recently upgraded our Adobe Acrobat and distiller to version 10.1.3. I was 
told that the postscripting process does not utilize Adobe Acrobat and 
distiller, so the color issue would not be tied into this upgrade.

I needed to update some text on the FrameMaker template for this quarter, so 
the new FrameMaker files were generated from this revised template. I did not 
modify color in the template, so I am not certain that the modified template is 
the problem.

Does anyone have any ideas what might be creating this color conversion issue?
