Hi @Nikos Vardakis , Another work around might be to convert the SVG math texts to outlines where you should be able to fill with CMYK 0|0|0|100 black.   Converting to outlines can be scripted, so a script should be able to convert to math elements to outline, set the color to black only and export the PDF. ...

Could you also share your use case with me, so I can pass it along to the team? That will help them better understand the need.   Hi @Abhishek Rao , RGB black would cause problems on an offset press—an RGB black would convert to a 4 color CMYK mix when the separations are output.

Your sample already has everything aligned to the bleed. Can you show and example of the expected starting positions before you run the script? Are the rectangles’ starting positions always aligned to the trim, or could they be anywhere on the page? What if they are centered on the page?

Hi @code_seeeeeker , Unless I’m misunderstanding the problem, it seems like an easier approach would be to delete the non brand swatches and when you are prompted for a replacment choose a brand color. It’s easy to do that via the UI and you should be able to do it via a script also— the swatch object has a remove() method which has a replaceWith parameter.   Trash the swatch named Non Brand Blue and replace with Brand 1:     Repeat for other non brand swatches:       ...

Hi @dublove , Also, do you want to add bleed to an object close to the trim without affecting its content’s position, or simply move the object to the bleed?

Under those conditions, why not proceed as proposed, was the (other half) of the question.   If the proofs are from a press running accurately to the PSO Coated v3 profile, and you are not getting a reasonably accurate soft proof, that would indicate your system’s monitor profile is not accurate. How are you generating your monitor profile? Are you using a hardware calibrator?   ... View more

Why or why not?   That would break color management, see my first reply here:   https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/image-editing-in-rgb-and-manual-separations-to-cmyk-for-press/m-p/15514107#M636318 ... View more

Does the grayscale method offer significant benefits over this profile-based approach that justify the added complexity?   The only advantage in placing a grayscale and adding CMY in InDesign, is you can output relatively lower CMY values, which will make the color somewhat less susceptible to color casts because there is relatively more Black in the separation.   But offset printing is not that precise—the color can change depending on the ink densities during the press run—run extra cyan and the gray balance will change. Whether the press actually runs precisely to the Fogra 51 profile is up to the press person.   Here my document’s assigned CMYK profile is PSO Coated v3 (FORGA 51), so with Overprint/Separation Preview turned on I get a PSO Coated v3 preview       If I turn off the Black channel I can see there is less CMY in the grayscale version       And relatively more black           ... View more

Fogra 51 apparently is more refined in this area than prior versions, but not 'intelligent'   It seems like you might be misunderstanding the function of an offset profile. FOGRA 51 won’t magically produce more accurate color than some other profile—either the press is running to the FOGRA 51 profile or it’s not. The press profile can even change during the run—the press person can manipulate the ink densities during the run and change the running color profile.   A composite printer like inkjet doesn’t have that problem. ...
