Colour shifts when output from FrameMaker to PDF

[hedley_finger@xxxxxxxxxxx]

All:

A colleague of mine is creating a FrameMaker document with colour screen
dumps and 'spot' colour synthesized from the CMYK inks.  That is, she has
chosen Pantone colours (e.g. 131) from the palette but set the Spot colour
model to be CMYK.

When she generates a PDF, the colours are distorted and completely
different from FrameMaker.  Will these colours print correctly, that is, is
this just an artefact of the Windows colour management non-system, or will
these colours appear just as crap in print?  (She does not have access to
any colour printers to 'proof' her output.)

[Windows XP Pro, FrameMaker 7.0p578, FrameScript 2.1r3, Enhance 2.04,
Acrobat 5.05, mif2go 33u34, WebWorks Publisher 7.05, IXgen 7.2p055, HTML
Help Workshop 4.74 build 8702.0, HTML Help 1.31]

Regards,
Hedley
