I have a document in InDesign that it only supposed to be using 2 spot colors, when I export it out to PDF it says that it is a 4 color process and 2 Spot color job, but I am not using any process colors. How do I remove the CMYK?

Thanks!
 
...how, in acrobat, are you determining whether the job has process colors? are you using the output preview dialog?

...the output preview always displays c, m, y and k plates, even in rgb...

...if you run preflight in indesign it will tell you the inks really used, also check the separation preview palette...

...if you have a vector part with white set to zero process it will preflight as 4 process, the same is true if you add a black element for example to a two color vector, unless you make it a spot black...
