William,

If you save your CMYK graphics in any format other than EPS (for both
vector and raster), then they will be converted to RGB by the Windows
GDI on output. The same goes for any colours defined and used in FM,
such as rules, table cell fills, etc. EPS graphics are passed through
untouched, while TIFFs will be converted to RGB regardless of colour
space used.

You can try some other tools that work on the resulting PDFs such as
Quite-a-Box-of-Tricks from Quite Software at http://www.quite.com or
PitStopPro from Enfocus at http://www.enfocus.com to convert back the
RGB to CMYK. Or use the ColourChameleon product to work on the
postscript before it gets to the PDF stage.

However, regardless of the tools finally chosen, since FM on a Windows
platform doesn't generate its own postscript, it's at the mercy of the
Microsoft's penchant for seeing the world through RGB glasses. You
must stick with EPS graphics and use a third-party tool to overcome
this limitation for press work.
