How do I remove cmyk profiles from a pdf. and keep it strictly 2 color process?

My company is trying to outsource a booklet to an offset printing company. We are strictly digital printing, and I honestly have no experience with offset. In the past I would build the documents with the pantone colors that were needed in whatever software I was using to create it (Illustrator, Indesign), do my checks and fixes in Acrobat and send it to the printer, and it would get done. The current printer is having an issue with the files that I'm giving him. He says, that the files contain CMYK profiles, and has to strictly be 2 color process. The file is pointing to the correct spot colors, but it does still does contain the CMYK profiles, list I have no idea how to remove the CMYK profiles, I can convert them to RGB, but that doesnt help. How do I remove these profiles and make the PDF strictly use spot colors, or does this not make any sense, Honestly it doesn't to me.

Honestly it does not to me either.
You have a history of creating spot color files - but are using a new vendor...what I'm hearing from the vendor doesn't make sense
...do my checks and fixes in Acrobat and send it to the printer, ...
Have you checked the PDF - verified that your Spot colors are Spots, not cmyk builds?

Communicate very clearly  - cmyk profiles or cmyk elements?
To my limited knowledge, every file will have a profile - it's a moot element in spot color printing -

  • I'm syncing pics in LR between my iPad and Mac.  Later, how can I remove the pictures from my iPad and keep it on my LR on my Mac?

    I understand the pictures are kept in the Cloud but I want to change my catalog so that it will recognize the pictures only on my Mac.  Then I can clear up space on my iPad. 

    Even though iCloud can back up some content it is intended more to keep multiple iOS devices synced up rather than being a place to back up your content. The Camera Roll is included in the iPad's Backup however there is no way to access the back up's content without Restoring the iPad. If you wipe the photos from the iPad's Photo Roll the new back up file created will also have them removed.
    Photo Stream, also a part of iCloud, is also intended to make your latest photos accessible on your other iOS devices such as iPhones, Apple TVs and Mac computers. It will only hold 1000 of the latest photos and is supposed to delete them after 30 days. This can give you the opportunity to view photos for awhile, back the photos up in a more conventional manner on your computer and share them with others. It is not a back up and is more of a temparary place to view them. Photos should be transferred to a computer which also has  a good back up routine to external sources.
    Even though iCloud can hold your iPad Backup file, the back up file does not contain most media files. The iOS backup file is more for quickly getting your devics settings restored if you have an issue with it or want to set up a new device. Your media files must also live else where in a more permanent back up such as on a computer and an external USB drive. For most actions, iCloud pretty much mirrors your iOS devices, delete something from one device it is gone from them all including iCloud.
    If you want to remove photos then store and view them from an online source use services such as DropBox or other online photo services such as Flickr.

    How do I remove extra profiles from color mangement in Print Module?

    If you're talking about the "short list" then click on other and then uncheck the ones that you don't want displayed. If you're talking about the long list, then you will have to browse to the folder containing the profiles and then delete them manually.

  • How do you remove a person from a photo and replace her with another person

    How do you remove a person from a photo and repalce her with another person.

    There are many tool and "tricks" to accomplish this manipulation. However, depending on the image one technique might be more appropriate than an other. And then there is the question of how to do it "skillfully". For example, the shadows in the person that is being substituted might be different than in the original image creating the obviously "photoshopped" look.
    Doing an Internet search on your posting title brings up lots of examples.

  • How do i import PSD's from my Computer and keep layers?

    How do i import PSD's from my Computer and keep the layers?
    I have tried using the creative cloud but it is pretty much a useless feature when it only imports PSD's as JPG, deleting all the layers.

    I believe that PSDs imported into PS Touch simply are flattened; they are not converted to JPG. I think this was done to protect the integrity of the app. (The number of layers available in PS Touch are much more limited due to the hardware. It's like 16 I believe vs. the theoretical thousands or so layers in Photoshop.) You can, of course, do the reverse (save as PSD in PS Touch and have the integrity of the layers preserved in Photoshop).

  • How can I remove an image from its background and save it? (Photoshop cs6)

    Hello,
    I am very new to the photoshop world and am trying to remove an image from its background ( as a stand-alone) and save it. Is there a way to do this in Photoshop CS6?  I have looked at tutorials but only found how to remove the image but not how to save the image as a stand alone with no background.
    Any help would be appreciated
    Erika

    Hi Erika,
    Are you trying to save a portion of an image with a transparent background? It may help to post a screenshot of the image that you're working with as well as your layers panel.
    I've included a few tips below that may help you with your situation. If you need additional help, please feel free to post again
    Deleting a background and saving an image with a transparent background
    1. Here I am working with an image of a santa hat that I've cut out from a white background. I have two layers, the cut-out santa hat and the original file. I'm going to delete the background layer so that I have just one layer - the cut-out santa hat:
    2. You'll see that a checkerboard pattern has appeared behind the santa hat. This means that the background is transparent.
    3. You can then go to File > Save As... and select PNG, Photoshop PSD, or TIFF from the Format dropdown menu. These file formats will save the cut-out portion of your image on its own, while preserving the transparent background.

  • How do I remove a picture from one album, but keep it in another?

    I have created an aditional album along with the default "Camera Roll" and I have moved certain pictures from "Camera Roll" into the new album. I no longer have the need for the picture to be in "Camera Roll" but when I tried to delete it, I got this message: "This photo is used in an album. Do you want to delete it everywhere?" The only options are "Delete Everywhere" and "Cancel". How can I (If I can) remove ceratain images from the "Camera Roll" while still keeping them in a different album?

    Yeah, i got the idea of the photostream, cameraroll  (finally)...
    Putting a photo in new album in iphone is just "tagging" or adding "pointers" to a photo. a photo in camera roll can "appear" in many albums. Sounds like gmail label...
    And,
    Put a photo in the camera roll, it will sync to photostream (iphone). Photostream will sync to photostream (macbook) . If i delete the photo from camera roll, it will not sync back from photostream (iphone, macbook) and the photo in my macbook is left untouch.  leaving only the photo at photostream (iphone and macbook) only.

  • How do I remove a profile from my iPad?

    I bought my iPad from my school when I graduated. Being a school iPad, it has restrictions that I can't remove and it seems to be because of the profiles that are on it. I really just want iMessage back, which I can't do unless the profiles are gone. Like I said, it's no longer the schools iPad, so this isn't breaking any rules or anything.

    If you cannot restore because the iPad is asking for a passcode, foloww the instructions here:
