I've asked a similar question in the past but still experience the same problems when converting files to PDF.
The 'mast head' is a monotone bitmap filled with PANTONE 032. When I attempt to create a pdf using the settings above (convert all colours to greyscale and leave spot colours alone) I get the rather strange appearance of the PDF with the unusal spot plates of Blue, Green and Red?
I need to create 2 plates ultimately as these magazines are printed in black only with spot colour (032) on the front page only and I'm struggling with the results I'm getting.
Any ideas?
Cheers in advance
John
Sorry, Ignore my last reply, I've now got the document palette showing with 032 red in it but still getting the same results
Once added, did you select the image at the top and use the Pantone to fill it?
Also, why not remake that Local Look masthead into a vector?
I did, I dragged the Pantone over the masthead image to fill.
It doesn't work as a vector.
