I have exported a 60pg Indesign doc to PDF, but the printers have come back and said they are unable to convert 1 page to cmyk satisfactorily. Below are the output options I have chosen but don't seem to be working.

I'm not clued up on Indesign exporting, so if someone has a simple solution that'd be great.

All other 59 pages the printers are happy with - so it seems strange that 1 is causing issues!

A screen capture of rthe problem page, the links panel showing the links on that page, and the ink manager would help. We really can only guess at the problem right now

Did you use spot colors on the problematic page?

Look into the ink manager, tick them to convert.

Hello, is this what you mean - I've just ticked the 'all spots to process'

Meanwhile... you used three spot colours. Designers often do this, without thinking of the consequences in printing, and it causes no end of hair-tearing at printers. Did you use these colours on the problem page?

And what colour space did you design that page in?
