    Default Color Quark file converting to grayscale pdf

    My husband has Quark 6.5 and Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0. He is trying to convert a color Quark file to a color pdf. However the pdf file ends up in grayscale, instead of color. Is there a setting somewhere to fix this issue?

    The OS is Mac OS 10.3.9.

    Hi tamtam,

    make sure to use the AdobePDF PPD in the printing setup - I assume you produce the PDF via the print/distil.

    Hi,
    The first thing I would check would be the Print window in Quark. Under the Output tab, there is a section called "Print Colors." Have him double check that this is not set to black and white or grayscale.
