Exporting map to pdf with CMYK values option in Pro

WesleyKoros — Wed, 14 Mar 2018 21:38:48 GMT

I've a map designed in ArcMap with all CMYK values correct, during export of the map to pdf ; 'Destination Colorspace' can easily be switched between RGB and CMYK. I want to open the same map document in ArcGIS Pro and export to pdf with same CMYK values maintained. I can't see 'destination colorspace' to choose CMYK option? Does Pro assume RGB only during export?

Was it authored with CMYK? since it is supported on creation http://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/help/mapping/map-authoring/maps.htm

and support was added for export since PRO 1.4 http://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/get-started/whats-new-in-arcgis-pro-1-4.htm

Then the http://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/help/mapping/map-authoring/maps.htm link says

"The color model is set on the General tab of the Map Properties dialog box.

but you do if from the Map, Properties settings and not the Layout properties"

Thanks Dan, I appreciate heaps! That means version 2.1 of Pro is all good with CMYK.
