Placing PDFs (with spot color) in Quark Xpress
When I place a PDF (that has a PMS spot color in it) into Quark 4.11, the file will not print the spot color. It just prints the CMYK process colors. It ignores the 5th color during output.
I am using the latest Quark PDF Xtension 1.6
I am creating the PDFs properly (press quality-pro settings) using Distiller, CrackerJack and Pit Stop Pro.
I think it is a limitation in Quark Xpress.
Any ideas?

<strong>Are you setting XPress to print spot and process? Having it convert spot to process? What print settings are you specifying?</strong><hr></blockquote>
No matter how I set it up, I never seem to see the spot color data show up. Its as if Xpress converts the file or ignores the PDFs colorspace...

Either way, it's not a General Discussion topic.
