Marco,
I take your point concerning the wording the Convert to Destination (Preserve Numbers). But it's tricky, because the idea is that all non-CMYK is converted to the destination profile, while all CMYK is assigned the destination profile without conversion. So what WOULD be the clear wording in three or four words?
