Hi @VADI GRAPHIC,

Hope you are doing well. Thanks for writing in!

While you already have a suggestion to use plugins, I would suggest trying this method within Acrobat using the Preflight tool to see if this helps.

Open Preflight Tool:
- Go to Tools > Print Production > Preflight.
Create a Custom Fixup:
- In Preflight, click on the Fixups tab.
- In the search bar, type "spot color" and find the "Map spot colors with specified name and color values" option.
- Right-click on it and choose Duplicate. This will allow you to edit the fixup.
Edit the Spot Color:
- In the duplicated fixup, find your Spot White color.
- Change its output to a visible process color (such as magenta or cyan).
- Apply this fixup to the document to convert your spot white to the new color.
Check Overprints:
- Once you apply the fixup, use the Output Preview tool to check how the overprints look with the new color setting.
