Spot color drop shadow multiply @ 32 opacity

[Zimmy3]

CS3, Spot color drop shadow multiply @ 32 opacity and save as Press PDF.
My spot drop shadow is now CMYK.
Am I doing something wrong or is this not fixed yet?


(Im leaving for the day,I check replys 1st thing in the morn...Thanks)

Did you set the raster effects to preserve spot colors?

RZ, I did a quick test in CS3, etc... saved PDF Acrobat6, refined in Prinergy4 and mine worked, screen shot attached:

Zimmmy,

The "Press" preset converts to CMYK. See attached.

not in my pdf joe - and i just used the ordinary press quality setting - didnt change anything

but I DID check the preserve spot colours

Sorry for wasting your time......
All I did was take off all the shadow effects/filters and re-do the shadow with effect/drop shadow,save as 1.5PDF  
with NO color conversion and it works now. Goofy though, why the original would'nt work.

Thanks again .

CS3 Illy? That's what my default "Press Quality" preset shows.

Edit: Oh, maybe the "preserve spot colours" held it.
