Spot Col to CMYK Conversion

Hello,

I have more consistent results when I convert spot colours in Acrobat and want to replicate this conversion because Pitstop is converting with strange results.

The result from the conversion in Pitstop is alarmingly different compared to the conversion is Acrobat which is much more accurate to what I expect to see.

Images show the Adobe Acrobat Settings, Pitstop Server Settings and Pitstop Action.

Any advice is welcome and thank you.

If your colour management settings are correct (be sure to check the profiles in Acrobat's preferences), the result should be mostly the same. I say mostly, because Acrobat sometimes has its own ideas about spot colour rendering.

I suggest you double check that you're using all the same ICC profiles. If you still see a difference after that you should probably contact support.
