Trouble with custom fixup

I've been trying to figure out how to make a custom fixup.

I've watched a few vidoes, but can't get it to work.

I'm trying to create a fixup that will allow me to make registration marks and color (100%C 100%Y 100%M 100%K) convert to 100% K only. I'm being charged color clicks on my machine for black pages that have all printer registration marks and color bars. I can't tell the fiery to only print black, because it then prints the color covers as black....so If I can make a custom fixup to convert Registration to 100% black, I think this will solve my issue. Thanks.

Hi @Jordan_Garren7838,

Hope you are doing well. Thanks for writing in!

You can try the below steps:

Open Preflight
- In Acrobat Pro, go to Tools > Print Production > Preflight.
Create a Custom Fixup
- In the Preflight window, click on the Wrench icon (Fixups tab).
- Click Options (top-right) and select Create Fixup.
Set Up the Color Conversion
- Under Fixup Category, choose Colors.
- Select "Map color" as the fixup type.
Define the Color Conversion Rules
- Click Add Mapping and set:
  - Source Color Space: CMYK
  - Condition: "All objects with this color"
  - Cyan (C): 100%
  - Magenta (M): 100%
  - Yellow (Y): 100%
  - Black (K): 100%
- In the Convert to section, set:
  - Cyan (C): 0%
  - Magenta (M): 0%
  - Yellow (Y): 0%
  - Black (K): 100%
Save and Apply
- Name the fixup something like "Convert Registration to Black".
- Click OK, then Apply it to your document.
