    My PDFs look washed out in Acrobat, just like in Finder. Here's the same file from InDesign (true color, rich black, cmyk) and from Adobe Acrobat, so you can see the difference.

    • you seperated your black (from rgb) and print it with different colors. That's why all the other colors are rendered in previewmekk
    • My black is just the built in 100%K, as I've always used. I did ask the printer to ensure they print "rich" though, just in case.monospaced
    • Nothing in this file is RGB, it's a print file.monospaced
    • And nothing here is in Preview. This is Adobe InDesign and Adobe Acrobat Pro.monospaced
    • InDesign will treat 100K as rich black on screen, but I don't think that means it encodes CMY values into it when exported as a PDF.i_monk
