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.
