When I export my XD files to PDF and open the PDF in acrobat, it doensn't show the RGB colors I used in XD. It only happens with XD, not with indesign, illustrator of photoshop rgb files.

And why can't I choose any PDF presets in Adobe XD?

    I think the problem is in color profile that use Adobe XD and Acrobat. Please review these two convertions about that topic.

    My concern with the color application is that it changes costumized Opacity Rate into it's full version. Like for example, I have accent elements in my design that I purposely lowered its opacity into 15% when I export it to PDF all of the elements would show with 100% opacity. The PNG version is fine. Only the PDF one has this problem.

    Hi @ACXHUB5FC6,

     

    Sorry to hear about the trouble. Can you share the version of XD & OS so that we can test this on our end? Also, you can check this article for more information on color management. 

    Thanks

    It makes the colors faded out / washed out. I've attached a screenshot; leftside is XD right in Acrobat

    Do you mean that you can't see RGB color totaly? What it shows instead RGB colors? Can you share screenshot from XD and exported PDF?
