Hi everyone,
I have been trying to work this out for a while but am only a geologist using the software for drafting purposes. I have Freehand MX on Windows XP, with Adobe acrobat 9 installed. When I print to PDF from Freehand it usually converts the colours to CMYK which is expected, but I would like them to remain RGB.
Current Freehand settings:
Output options: All default but I have unticked 'Convert RGB to process'
Raster Effects: Optimal CMYK rendering is ticked but does not appear to make a difference if unticked.
Colour Management: Kodak digital science
Acrobat settings:
I have tried editing the high quality print job options in acrobat distiller to 'Convert all colors to sRGB' and Document rendering intent to 'relative colorimetric'. RGB is sRGB61966-2.1.
The only way I have successfully got to an RGB PDF from Freehand is opening the file in Illustrator CS4, and printing to PDF after telling Illustrator that the file is RGB. The conversion is still not perfect, moving text etc... and is a pain in the **** to be honest but if there was a way to go to RGB PDF from Freehand, that would make my day!
Hope someone can help! Thanks!
