Question

100% k type converting to 4/c type during PDF export.

When exporting to a PDF file black text is converting to 4/c text which isn't desired.  Preferences for Appearance of Black is set as Output All Blacks Accurately. Select Export Adobe PDF and change Output settings to Color Conversion "Convert to Destination" and Destination "US Newsprint SNAP 2007".  I do not want to preserve numbers as attempting to reduce ink density of placed SWOP images - this works except for the conversion of type to 4/c text.

‌if you convert colours then I would expect text to be included.

Why would 100% black convert when below SNAP maximum total ink? Would think the conversion would honor 100% k and not change to a 4/c k, particularly with the Appearance of Black or output set to not change.

In general, if you convert to a profile all input is changed (by converting to Lab and back again). That's what you ask for... Why would 100%K be immune? Unless there is an option to do make 100%K immune of course. If you select "preserve appearance" this is talking colour science, not printing press, and so blacks go into the wash.
