How can I change my adobe theme I'm using in indesign from rgb to cmyk?

[Ton Frederiks]

Color theme? It will automatically become CMYK when you print.

Is'nt it better to change it in the doc?

[Ton Frederiks]

If you know what CMYK; newsprint, coated offset, digital... you can do that.

The problem with converting from RGB to CMYK is that you will lose color information, RGB colors are often more vivid than CMYK colors. It is best to postpone the conversion and let Color Management do its work.

When does it do that - when exporting?

When you print or export as pdf with convert  to destination checked for output.
