[Technology] InDesign help!

HI NSCers,

When I place a PDF into InDesign, black text that previously had a colour breakdown of C0 M0 Y0 K100 changes to another CMYK value that uses all 4 colours. It seems to be flattening the PDF.

Is there any way of importing a PDF into InDesign, and keeping the values/layers as they should be?

Thanks!

Hmm. Too tricky for me.

Thanks Matt - I am being a thickie. I can only find 'Import XML' under 'File' in InDesign, but that sends me to my desktop to choose something (but I can't chose PDFs). Where is the 'Import' you refer to?

Cheers!

Apologies I completely made all that up.

I have never used InDesign.

Sorry, thought I had something at the below but probably not:

Is the colour still changed on a printout of the file?

Not as such, but I don't want the text to be 4 colour, as it doesn't look great when printed.
