How do I save PMS colors in a PDF file?

I am trying to save my illustrator file as a PDF. I am using PMS colors in the file, and when I save it as a pdf those colors turn gray. However, when I export it to a jpg the colors show up fine. Does anyone know how to fix this or what is causing it?

What destination and document colorspace are you using?

  • PMS Colors in AI/PDF files and Mac OS X 10.8 Preview

    As you might know, either Adobe or Pantone changed the default definitions or color built of Pantone Coated library to LAB in CS6 instead of CYMK. This change did not break anything on Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) or Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion), but it did break how PMS colors previews in Mac OS X 10.8 (Mountaion Lion). All PMS Colors looks black in Mac OS X 10.8. Does anyone knows if there is going to be a fix for this?

    This is because as of CS6, Adobe is now saving Lab alternatives to PMS colors, rather than CMYK builds.  This is the right thing to do because Lab colors match more accurately, while Pantone colors can be out of the CMYK spectrum.  Apple just needs to support Lab colors in Preview and QuickLook.

  • How do I save only part of a PDF file?

    I have a PDF of a book layout, which is 176 pages. It's one big file. How can I save only selected pages as a separate PDF?
    Thanks

    Document>Extract pages but only if you have Adobe Acrobat (you haven't mentioned that as of yet) and only if there is no security preventing modifications and such.

  • How do I save a document as a PDF file instead of an HTML?

    I just installed Acrobat XI on my Windows 7 laptop. When I save a file as a PDF, it saves it as an HTML PDF, and will only open in the web browser. I would prefer to simply save it as a PDF file.

    It was a Word document.

  • When I try to same an image under the command 'save as' it will only let me save as file types 'firefox document' or 'all files' and when I try to look at them later they dont work. How can I save an image as the same file type it is on the web site?!

    When I try to save an image under the command 'save as' it will only let me save as file types 'firefox document' or 'all files' and when I try to look at them later they dont work. How can I save an image as the same file type it is on the web site?!
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I updated to one of the firefox versions (Not sure which one it was)

    Thanks Alex, but sadly I already tried that. Neither .docx or .xlsx files show up in the content list. They both show as a Chrome HTML document so changing how Firefox addresses those doesn't help since it thinks its the same type of file. I don't think I can manually add files into the "Content Type" left side nav.

    I believe what the original poster wants to do is preserve the bookmarks of a Word file into the interactive bookmarks feature of the PDF specification, so that the bookmarks appear as a clickable linked table of contents when that Word file is converted to PDF. You see this in every ebook or iBook. This is easy to do when converting Word to PDF in Microsoft Windows, but I am not sure it is possible from Mac Word because everybody complains about it on the Mac side.
    Converting bookmarks to a clickable PDF TOC is easy to do in other software on the Mac, like InDesign. Apple Pages might do it too, but I'm not sure.

  • How do I save my contact sheets as a file instead of printing?

    How do I save my contact sheets as a file instead of printing?

    In Aperture 3 there are two print dialogs. The first is Aperture specific. After you finish this dialog the printer specific dialog will open. In the PDF menu choose Save as PDF...
    I've forgotten how Aperture 2 works but it has a different print dialog I think. Look for the same PDF menu or a Preview button.

    When you restore from a Time Machine back up you can pick and chose what is restored. It is not an all or nothing process. Nor do you have to do the partial restores all at the same time. If days after the first partial restore you find something else you want you can restore just that.

  • How do you save an iMovie project as a file?

    how do you save an imovie as a windows file?

    You first have to format the External drive as Mac OS Extended. This can be done with Disk Utility which is located in the Utilities Folder inside the Applications Folder. Once formatted as a native Mac OS drive, iMovie will allow you to 'turn on' the visibility of the external drive. Make sure to make the hard drive visible in the Events Library by going to the View Menu > Group Events by Disk. In the Projects Folder you should also see the same drive.
    Drag your Project folders to the external drive icon in the Project Library. Also drag your Event Folders to the external drive (but make sure to drag it to the icon that is visible in the Event Library, don't drag it to the Project Library drive icon).
    This dragging operation will 'duplicate' your Project Folders and Event Folders on the external drive. So to make space on your internal drive, always delete the original folders AFTER you make copies of them on the External drive. In the future when you are importing video into a New Event, make sure to choose the external drive as the location for the the New Event folder. Similalrly create a new Project Folder in the external drive location in the Project Library.
    iMovie doesn't have save menu, it auto-saves in the background continuously as you work on the Project. That way you don't lose any work by forgetting to save the project.

    There is a similar post just a few away from yours. I will suggest what I would try. Open your job settings file (press or print preferred to get all fonts) and then select the properties and the font tab. At your font to the always embed list and you will likely need to uncheck the subset box. Then save your job settings (give it a name that is meaningful to you, you can not use the settings file you started with as they are read only and I do not recommend changing that). Maybe that will do the job. Of course that is for the creation of the PDF, I forgot you were talking about a form. You might check the form field properties, but I suspect you have already tried that. Guess I don't play with forms enough. Others may be by to answer.
