      When I export to Greyscale PDF file from Indesign, all my 100& Black changes to 97% black, depending on ‘Dot Gain’ profile.
      If I use Dot Gain 20% it becomes 93% black, in Dot Gain 10% it becomes 97%
      Any suggestions how to solve this?

      High Sierra, Adobe Indesign CS6 and CC2019 and CC2020

      You might try exporting as a regular CMYK PDF and then using Convert Color in Acrobat.
