Objects changing color when saving as a PDF

Hello!

I have a logo in the background of my design. When I save it as a PDF to print, the logos in the background change color to a more white version and becomes much more visible. When I save it as a PNG, it stays normal and how I want it to be.

I've tried changing color mode between RGB and CMYK, but the problem persists.

Any suggestions?

Please download Acrobat and then test it. The Reader should be fine.

So the color mode of the document is which?

Do the colors also change when you open the file in Acrobat?

How is your color management set up?

At the moment the color mode is CMYK, but the problem occurs for both color modes.

I don't use/have Acrobat, so I am not sure.

I have the same design in a white and black version, but the problem only happens for this version in green.

In editing mode the design is perfectly fine, so I believe the problem happens in the saving/exporting phase. Suddenly the logos in the background turn white and more visible..I don't understand this at all..

As I said, saving as a PNG isn't a problem, so I really don't know what's going on here.
