indd 2022 - black font seperation incorrect in pdf export with some settings
after the update to indd 2022 (which some idiot client editor did in the middle of a magazine before saving and thus up-versioning half the files) I have problems with pdf export. Since acrobat/distiller seems not to have been updated at the same time, I assume the problem is with indd.
When exporting for print, indd exports black print as rich black - regardless of the indd settings - when the export to pdf settings /output / convert to destination (profile) is set.
If I export with / convert to destination (preserve numbers) then black is exported correctly. This is obviously bunk.
thw workaround (half a day to find this) is to export with convert to destination (preserve numbers). Caveat all images needed to be converted manually before export, as a specific output profile was necessary.
needless to say everything worked as expected before the 'update'.
Seperation is determined with Acrobat CC preflight ink separations.
I can reproduce the error with a new document, with text cmyk 0 0 0 100 /adobe preset output all blacks accurately /, exported to pdf converted to ISO coated.
With "preserve numbers" the separations in Acrobat are correct, without preserve numbers rich black is exported.
