I've created a publication in PM 6.5.with CMYK graphics. When I export to Acrobat PDF file, all graphics are listed as RGB. Service provider (newspaper) is unable to print any color graphics as a result.
 
I ran a test file and this is what I found.&nbsp;&nbsp;When you run the Distiller within PageMaker, there are three areas that need specific attention for your application.&nbsp;&nbsp;They are:&nbsp;&nbsp;Compression, Color Model, and Advanced Options.&nbsp;&nbsp;These options can be found under the drop down menu usually headed as &quot;General&quot; on the opening distiller screen.<br><br>Compression default is set to LZW/JPG Med - res at 72.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If you are sending your job to a service provider as we both know, this will not due.<br><br>Color Model default is set at RGB.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Here is where I think you will achieve your desired results.&nbsp;&nbsp;It made a world of difference in my test doc.<br><br>Advanced Options default -<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Neither the Preserve overprint settings, nor the Preserve halftone screen info is selected.&nbsp;&nbsp;Depending on your project, I would check one or both of these options.<br><br>Hope this helps.<br>
 
Tried your suggestions and they made a world of difference. Thanks very much for the response.
