I am currently working on a client branding project. My document is CMYK and I have chosen Uncoated and Coated Pantone colours to use. These are as follows:

-7688 C, -2191 U

-3015 C, -2196 U

-7717 C, -321 U

-7465 C, -2398 U

I use the Logo Package to export and the Pantone coloured artboards are exporting as PDFs as AI files. Once I export, these two formats for all Pantone coloured artboard are EXTREMELY desaturated... almost grey. When I open the PDF fully, it stays desaturated. When I open the AI file it loads in Illustrator the colour it's meant to be. Images below...

If anyone could help here - that would be awesome! Thanks!

Oh strange! When I view it in Apple's 'Preview' it's that grey colour. But when I view it in Adobe Acrobat it's the brighter colours (what it's supposed to be). Any ideas?
