Hello,
I have been experiencing a reoccurring problem when working on InDesign CC. whenever I export files into pdf it seems like the saturation has been changed in the pdf version, to be higher. It is not file dependent and seems to effect all work I export to pdf.
Example: https://imgur.com/a/AiTpe5i
I usually work with big, multi pages graphic files and even though exporting the pages as png/jpg does improve the quality a bit, it is not ideal.
I have tried to change all of the relevant export settings but none seem to fix the problem at a high quality. I have also tried all the different setting options under: colour setting>conversion options>intent. Difference was not noticeable.
I was wondering if someone here would know what's the source of the problem.
These are my export current settings:

1) The preset specifies source profiles that don't match the current colour settings file. Profiles specified by the colour settings file will be used.
Thanks
