Hey Clinton, I'm doing something similar.<br><br>In my experience, the PDF produced IS in CMYK, no special stuff needed. I checked it in Acrobat pro 9, and it seems to be good.<br><br>The only problem I've experienced is that black and white images get converted to cmy black, plus k. Since I'm printing in just black, this is a problem, and I have to re-process those pages in acrobat to get rid of the c m y channels.<br>
<br>I'm using xltxtra package, which does a lot of extra work (including fontspec, etc). I recommend it.<br><br clear="all">Thanks, Peace,<br>Link<br>

Hi all<br>
<br>
I'm producing PDFs with xelatex destined to be printed in a newspaper.<br>
The printers require the PDFs to use a CMYK colorspace, but I can't find<br>
any option to set this.<br>
<br>
The only solution I've come across is the one mentioned in:<br>

$ pdftops -level1sep original.pdf <a href="http://separated.ps" target="_blank">separated.ps</a><br>
$ ps2pdf14 <a href="http://separated.ps" target="_blank">separated.ps</a><br>
<br>
Is this still the best solution?<br>
<br>
thanks<br>
