If you are printing to an RGB digital inkject printer, the checkbox will be grayed out.

Ink Manager should only light up when connected to a PostScript printer.

What is your printer?

Thank you Mike, I was exporting a PDF (final art) for an external printer / litho press.
And this hasn't been occuring previuosly. So it kind of stumped me.
(this was very late at night, so my brain was only partially on, lol )

Hi @Wells Bristol Studio , Ink Manager’s All Spots to Process is grayed out, either via Export or the Swatches panel, when there are only Process Inks

Sorry, I meant to say in InDesign. I'm using InDesign and exporting a final PDF for printing.
And I'm not able to Convert Spots to Process as I usually do, when creating the PDF
