I’ve got an odd thing happening with making PDFs with documents created using the SNAP 2009 ICC profile. For context, here’s what I can successfully do with other profiles, but does not work with SNAP 2009. 1. Create a blank CMYK document in Photoshop and assign any CMYK profile (set aside SNAP 2009 for now). 2. Create a black box – 100% K only. 3. Create a red box – 100% M and 70% Y. 4. Save as a Photoshop PDF using either Convert to Destination using the same profile as the destination, or No Conversion. 5. Open the PDF in Acrobat and examine it with Output Preview in Print Production. Every time the color numbers will not have changed from the values above, as expected. Day in and day out I can successfully do this except - when I use SNAP 2009. With SNAP 2009 the 100% K box gets converted to 4-color and the red values change as well. If I save the file as Photoshop EPS and run it through Distiller the problem goes away and the color numbers do not change. I also don’t experience this with Illustrator. Has anyone else come across this? This is the only profile that I had this happen with (so far). --- Gary Smith
