InDesign will assume the document color space, but there's a bug.
In a quick test I placed an untagged Illustrator element, the same
Illustrator element with a profile (a G7 profile), and a box in
InDesign. All 3 elements were colored 50c, 40m, 40y, 0k. I assigned
the US SWOP v2 profile to the document. I printed the file, using
the same G7 profile for the printer profile. In the resulting PDF
the untagged Illustrator element and the InDesign element did not
come out the same. They should have.
The InDesign element was transformed using the Perceptual intent
(which is what I had specified in the preferences). The Illustrator
element used relative colorimetric.
Okay, ColorFriends - here's what I found. The untagged Illustrator
element gets converted using the rendering intent from the color
settings of Illustrator at the time that it was saved. Change the
default rendering intent, open the Illustrator element, resave,
update in InDesign and presto - when you export (or print to file)
the rendering intent used will follow what you've changed in
Illustrator.
The rendering intent moves with the file. I can move the Illustrator
piece from one system to another and the conversion utilizes the
rendering intent from the color settings of Illustrator on the system
upon which it was created.
