I am not quite sure what your problem is. If it is only imported graphics you are having problem with, you should, if they are originally CMYK, save them as EPS (e.g. Photoshop images) and import the eps's into Frame. Only remember to save them with TIFF preview. If it is everything, also your

Thank you all for your suggestions. I've tried to use Colour Chameleon 2.0 and also CMYK PDF Creator, but both say they cannot find or start Distiller. I have Acrobat 7.0 Pro installed - I reinstalled it, just to make sure it was all there; I checked the permissions in the registry and I seem to

Hi Daniel, Printing from Windows FrameMaker is handled by the Windows OS, which converts everything to RGB. There are two choices, as far as I know: 1) Print from Mac FrameMaker, or 2) convert the colors back to CMYK in the PDF file. I don't know how to do (2), but it may require third-party

Yep PC Frame is RGB only. But, for what it is worth, most printers can still take those RGB files, convert to CMYK, and run the four plates you need just fine. Scott White Media Production Manager 210-704-8239 swhite at alamark.com On Feb 6, 2006, at 1:15 PM, Steve Rickaby wrote: > At
