InDesign PDF-Export - Farben weichen ab

[franziskaf24503411]

Hallo zusammen,

gerade habe ich ein PDF unter den gleichen Bedingungen wie im Herbst letzten Jahres exportiert (X3 und ISO Coated V2 300 %). Damals setzten sich der Farbewerte im PDF so zusammen C 94 % M 59 % Y 7 % K 28 %, heute werden der Farbwerte im PDF so dargestellt C 100 % M 70 % Y 20% K 10 %.

Kann mir jemand erklären, wie dieser Unterschied zustande kommt und wie ich das PDF zukünftig zuverlässig so erstellen kann, dass die Farbwerte immer gleich sind?

Vielen Dank und viele Grüße

Franziska

Wie sind Ihre Farbmanagementeinstellungen (in Photoshop)?

What are your color management settings? After installing the new version of Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, you will have to change color management back to your settings from the default settings.

Hi @franziskaf24503411,

As @MikeWitherell mentioned, color management settings can reset after an update. Could you confirm in which version of InDesign the file was originally created and which version you are using now?

To ensure consistency, check your Color Settings in InDesign (Edit > Color Settings) and make sure they match what you used previously. Also, verify the assigned ICC profile in Edit > Assign Profiles to see if it differs from before. Another thing to check is whether the output settings in your Export PDF dialog (under Output > Color Conversion) match the ones you used last time.

Looking forward to your update.

Can someone explain to me how this difference comes about

Hi @franziskaf24503411 , Before you export, check to make sure the document’s Assigned CMYK profile is also ISO Coated V2 300% (see Edit>Assign Profiles...):

And also check the actual document color values with Separation Preview panel—it sounds like there was a color converion on the Export to PDF.
