Colors not accurately reflected from InDesign to Acrobat

I know there are dozens of threads on this, I've read them all, and I still am having this extremely frustrating issue with Acrobat consistently washing out my colors. Even if the colors are CMYK compatible, it's desaturating them.

 

I'm putting PSDs into InDesign. Transparency Blend Mode set to RGB to preview correctly. Exporting as a PDF to view in Acrobat. Setting an RGB destination profile does nothing to retain my colors. Everything looks fine in Mac 'Preview' application, but Acrobat can't seem to retain any of the proper colors.

 

This is turning a simple 5 minute task into hours of tweaking at least once a month. I'd love if any one can offer a sureproof solution.

  1. Is this output for print or screen?
  2. If the file is for print, why is the transparency blending space set to RGB?
  3. What output profile has your file?
  4. What color profiles have your images in InDesign?
  5. Which color management policy did you choose?
  6. Are you aware that a different color space (and that includes a different color profile) has a different gamut?
  7. Are you aware that only Acrobat can show all PDFs correctly? Apple Preview is not a valid PDF viewer!

Seh gut fragen!

 

  1. The difference in color appearance manifest itself witn "Print" mode. Clearly. In "Web" or "Mobile" mode, all elements / objects appear the same, naturlich
  2.  The transparency blennding space is NICHT set to RGB. I use "Print" mode.
  3.  The CMYK output profile ist GRACoL2006.
  4.  The images imported from Photoshop haben sRGB color profiles und die Document RGB space ist set to sRGB. So, to me, there should not be a discrepancy. 
  5. Ignore CMYK profile. Keep RGB profiles.
  6.  Absolutely! Ich arbeit als eine farbe mangement specialist
  7.  Das ist nicht richtig, liebe Willi? Otherwise, allein würden arbeiten im Acrobat

MfG / Roger
