Hi
Not being highly creative or intelligent, I used Apple's Pages
software to
create the School Newlstter (with the aid of one of the great
templates).
I exported it to PDF and took it to the printer who said the fonts and
resolution etc were all fine but he had to convert it from RGB to
CMYK.
He showed me how some of the colours, particularly the blues, were
out.
He said before I bring him the next Newsletter, I need to convert
it to
CMYK. I have searched Pages and cannot find any option/preference/
export
feature that enables me to do this.
Any advice would be gratefully accepted please.

Hi Rod,
I'm not sure about this, but I don't think Pages can output in CMYK
and I don't think Preview can convert RGB to CMYK. Photoshop I think
can.
You could do it with ColorSync Utility in OS X.
Try opening your PDF in ColorSync Utility (ctrl-click on the file and
select "open with"). Create a new process that converts the colour to
the generic CMYK profile.
Apply and save.
Send your printer the converted file and see if they can work with
it. See a proof before committing to having it printed though.
Cheers,
Ronni
