How do I convert the spot or RGB colours in my InDesign or Illustrator file into CMYK?

  1. Open your artwork in Illustrator or InDesign.

  2. Open the Swatches panel, which lists all the colours used in your artwork.

  3. Find for swatches that are set to spot colour: these are marked by a spot in a box to the right of the swatch.

  4. Double click on the relevant swatches, and choose Process from the drop-down menu, then click CMYK.

  5. Re-export your PDF
