<![CDATA[How do I keep VS spot colors when exporting to pdf?]]>I need help:

I have until now used VS outputting and sending files to a plotter without issues, but now I cannot output the pdf's correctly any more. The plotter doesn't recognize the CutContour spot color needed.

I've attached 2x2 pdf's and VS files. The two of the latter works fine.

To figure out the correct settings: Can you please tell the difference in the setup of the two VS's?

You can see this in the Color Palette panel, where all colors are shown with a full box.
