Reply To: Ink Coverage

Acrobat can do all kinds of things that InDesign cannot. However, in this case: what do you think Acrobat is doing? If there is 350% CMYK coverage in a CMYK image, the only solution you have is to cross-render that to a different CMYK.

HOWEVER, the real solution here is much simpler: You should be using RGB images in InDesign, not CMYK. Especially if you are planning on using the same image in more than one publication (with different printing needs), RGB is the choice of experts. Then you never have to worry about ink limits because the RGB image is always converted to the proper profile when you create your PDF.
