Lawrence,

On a PC platform, FM relies on the Windows graphic device interface
(GDI) to generate the Postscript output. The GDI only understands RGB,
so it converts all FM defined colours (except those in EPS files,
which are simply passed through untouched) from whatever colour space
to RGB.

You can either "correct" the colours at the intermediate stage to
composite PDFs by using a product such as ColourChameleon (see
http://www.grafikhuset.dk/ColourChameleon.htm ); use a PDF editing
tool such as PitStopPro (see http://www.enfocus.com ) or Quite a Box
of Tricks (see http://www.quite.com ); or try using FM's separated
output and then a tool such as Seps2Comp from Creo (see
http://www.creo.com/products/software_solutions/creative/plugins/products/seps2comp/index.asp
) to put it back together as a composite.
