Exporting PDF - Colors

Good morning,

I have a problem exporting my file to CMYK PDF, which is intended for printing.

The colors in Illustrator are very vivid and when exported they are bland.

Have you ever had the same problem ? Do you have a solution ?

THANKS !

By selecting Emulating Illustrator 6 (a version from 1996), you have turned Color Management off, which makes colors unpredictable as you have seen.

Start by choosing a preset that fits your needs and assign a CMYK Profile for your CMYK document: Edit > Assign Profile...

Which color mode is the Illustrator document?

Which PDF viewer are you using? If not Acrobat, try that.

How is your color management set up?

Le mode colorimétrique est CMYK

J'ai essayé avec Acrobat ça ne change rien 😞
