A few useful details

Questions about this task.

Check these details before preparing the final artwork.

Does choosing CMYK convert every colour automatically?

No. Applied CMYK swatch colours retain their CMYK values in the PDF. Colours without a CMYK definition can remain RGB, so review your palette and your printer’s requirements before delivery.

Which version includes PDF export?

PDF, PNG and TIFF export are unlocked in the direct Mac download. In the Mac App Store version, these export formats are Pro features.
