When generating an AI image in InDesign it is RGB, but I need it to be CMYK for print.

Maybe you can try to export to Photoshop and convert to CMYK and place again in InDesign.

I would probably end up just generating it in another program, I just don't understand why they would have that capability in InDesign if it isn't useful for the program.

Beta testing is an exploration to see if a new feature is workable. AI seems to be the new "gatta have" feature of all software, and you might or might not actually find it useful or workable in your own workflow.

Hi @Erica30601547mf2w , Illustrator has a single document color space, make sure the document’s File>Document Color Mode is set to CMYK Color.

I am looking at the beta for InDesign, not Illustrator.

I don’t beta test, is there a new feature that lets you Export to AI, or are you exporting to a PDF or EPS?
