Exporting PDF - Colors

[anais_8223]

Good morning,

I have a problem exporting my file to CMYK PDF, which is intended for printing.

The colors in Illustrator are very vivid and when exported they are bland.

Have you ever had the same problem ? Do you have a solution ?

THANKS !

Which color mode is the Illustrator document?

Which PDF viewer are you using? If not Acrobat, try that.

How is your color management set up?

Le mode colorimétrique est CMYK
