Working with ArcGIS pro and Spot colors 

Am trying to export several PDF files for each spot color used in my Layout 

Our system is using 7 spot colors which is then separated into several mxds each contains a single color and exported to be sent to printing , this separation process is an old VB code done on 9.3 

So my question is ?  is this process of separation is available on arcGIS Pro or not ? and if its not available what is the best way of doing a custom code to automate the process using spot colors ?

searching for "spot colors" (with quotes) in the help yields

Define and use spot colors—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation 

Color—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation 

Text formatting tags—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation 

Text formatting tags—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation 

apparently introduced in Pro 2.5  What's new in ArcGIS Pro 2.5—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation 

Is this what you are referring to?

I have seen all of the documents which describes how to define and allow working with spot color in arcGIS Pro projects, but what am looking for is how to share this layout as a separate colors pdfs each contain a single color 

something similar to Production PDF in ArcMap , check this out
