InDesign and RGB

[carminacrittenden@adobeforums.com]

While creating a publication for screen, I'm working entirely in RGB. The Illustrator file that I import as RGB and then export in a page as PDF, changes to a dull color (I assume a CMYK conversion has taken place at some point).

How can I assure that a graphic will stay RGB from Illustrator to InDesign to PDF?

Thanks.

don't convert to CMYK

set no color conversion

Look at the PDF presets and see which ones don't convert colors: High Quality Print and PDF/X-3 do not. Smallest File Size which would be good for screen converts to sRGB which would probably work for you.

Also, if you are flattening transparency, make sure that the Transparency Blend Space is set to RGB. (The default is CMYK.)
