spot colors become cmyk when exporting from Freehand

[steelhead]

Hi folks:
I have a Freehand Document with two Pantone Uncoated Spot colors.
When I export to pdf, the resultant pdf becomes cmyk.

If I print to Adobe distiller print driver instead of using the Freehand export function, the spot colors are retained in my new pdf, exactly what I want.:)

What little switch am I missing in Freehand to keep the spot colors on export from converting automatically to cmyk?:confused:

Hi,
When exporting to PDF uncheck the change color to CMYK in the setup buton that is under "Cancel" bottun.

Good luck,

No such check box exists. I am using MX Freehand on my PC.
In the setup dialog box there is only an option to convert colors to cmyk or cmyk/rgb.

No check boxes for a color change.

Can you post a screen shot of the settings for the PDF.
