Just finished producing a 40 page newspaper for the first time. Built pages in Quark 4.11. Converted to PDF with Quark's Export as PDF and Acrobat 5. (Somewhere in the session I saw "Creo" or something flash on screen; perhaps that's a third party Xtension; or not.) There was one to ask technical questions, so I used whatever settings were established at the job site. A few of the pages errored out in Distiller. One was fixed by substituting fonts. For the others I exported a PDF ad from Acrobat 5 as a TIFF (which would be RGB), converted to CMYK in Photoshop, and placed in Quark. Small type gets pixilated but otherwise that worked. Under close deadline, I had more questions than answers. I wondered if an RGB PDF could error the PDF-making process? Wondered if I can identify RGB / CMYK in Quark? Couldn't even find a way to identify the color mode in Acrobat and then convert to CMYK. Wondered if the fact that the TIFFs exported from Acrobat 5 were RGB meant that the original PDFs were also RGB? Answers and suggestions invited...
