Exporting a PDF changed the colour of a logo - why?
Hi all. Long-time user but first post, I think.
I produce a magazine and have done for years. We have an angry client whose advert got weirdly altered in the export - that is to say their logo changed colour from blue to pink. That's the only change in the whole doc, and I can't figure out why. It's never happened to me before. I'm using a custom PDF export setting that forces everything to CMYK. I don't know how to examine the original PDF beyond what I've looked at already. I've tried taking it apart in Acrobat and it all seems OK in there.
Anyone able to help me with this? Was it:
1. A problem with the PDF the client supplied, something like an RGB quirk that went funny when I CMYKed it?
2. A bug in InDesign?
Additionally, in the InDesign doc it appears correctly, and in the Publish Online version it does too – until I click to download it, and then it switches to pink again. Bizarre!
Please help - need to explain this to angry client.
