Hi,

I hope someone can help me!

When exporting a RGB file as a PDF the colour changes when I send to someone the printers.

The printers want the file as a RGB.

I have exactly the same settings in Illustrator as the printers.

It appears when saving as a PDF the colours are changing!

Help me!!!!

Thanks,

Ade

So your file is set up as what? RGB or CMYK?

What options did you select in the color management part of the PDF options?

Which app are you using to check the PDF?

And which RGB do you use and which RGB do the printers use? sRGB, AdobeRGB?

You can check the Document RGB Profile by going to Edit > Assign Profile. and see if the Profile is the same as your working RGB.
