I am facing a big problem about the 100% black is not being right for printing and coming out as 4 colours, from my InDesign document when I export it as a pdf. My swatch for the black text in Indesign is set at C=0 M=0 Y=0 and K=100, which seems not to work as100% BLACK after I have export it so pdf? Please can anybody help me, so I can get 100% black text in my PDF?

The only thing I want AFTER I export the pdf, is that the BLACK TEXT are 100% black, not a 4 colour rich black, in the exported pdf. I also have the same issue in Illustrator? So what is going on?

Thank you so muh!

I think I have to uninstall Acrobat DC. And reinstall it again

Hi everybody!!!

The problem was my Acrobat!!

I uninstalled it, and then I have reinstalled it and now it works!!!! See video: Loom | Free Screen & Video Recording Software

Thanks a lot everybody for your help!!!!

I don't know if this is a bug, but 2 others of my friends had the same problem. So I have to contact them and ask them to uninstall the Acrobat.

Again Thank you!!

Export using the PDF/X-4 preset and check the output values in Acrobat Pro's Output Preview.

Don’t modify the Press Quality preset, choose the default PDF/X-4 preset.

If that doesn‘t work can you show a simple screen capture with your text selected in InDesign and with your Color panel open?
