thanks for the help! i do most of the work in indesign just because of the better control of typesetting. i just swapped out the pantone swatches that i was using with the corresponding rgb values of the swatches from the pantone color bridge and exported those as pdfs with "no color conversion" selected in the output panel destination tab. i did see a "simulate overprint" checkbox in that panel as well, but it's dimmed out. however the pdf appears to be rendering the overprint just fine anyway.
i then opened the pdfs in photoshop, dropped the art into the app image, saved it as an rgb psd and brought that into indesign. AND IT ALL SEEMS TO HAVE WORKED. thanks again. it seemed counter intuitive to do this stuff in rgb because most of it is printed apps, but it works and i'm not going to question it. as long as the client quits asking me what the color is actually going to look like...
