How to Convert a CMYK Image to a PANTONE in Adobe Acrobat Pro

Ever had a client send over a logo as a JPEG or a photo-heavy PDF and ask for it to be printed in a specific Pantone spot color? Converting flat CMYK images into professional PMS plates can be a headache, but Adobe Acrobat Pro makes it surprisingly simple with the right Preflight tools. In this tutorial, I'll show you how to map CMYK and grayscale images to spot colors while maintaining the correct tint percentages—ensuring your photos still look like photos, not solid blocks of color. In this video, you’ll learn: 01:05 The Individual Edit Method: Using the "Edit Object" tool to manually convert single images to grayscale. 01:55 Bulk Conversion: Using Acrobat's default Preflight profiles to convert a 10-page PDF of images to grayscale in seconds. 02:45 Mapping to Spot Colors: How to create a custom Preflight fix-up to map grayscale images to a specific PMS color (like Pantone 186 C). 04:15 Maintaining Tint Percentages: Why checking "Include intermediate color values" is the secret to keeping your photo details intact. 08:15 Solid Logo Conversion: How to handle a low-res JPEG logo and force it to a solid 100% spot color plate. 12:35 Selective Image Conversion: How to target only the images within a complex, multi-element flyer without affecting your text or vector branding. 15:55 Output Preview Verification: Final check to ensure your CMYK file has successfully separated into a clean, two-color job. Why this matters for Prepress: Whether you're prepping a thousand-page manual or a simple two-color flyer, mastering these Acrobat Preflight hacks saves you hours of manual editing in Photoshop or Illustrator. It’s the ultimate way to ensure high-quality offset plates or more control over digital color adjustments.
