Is PDF a CMYK?

1 Correct Answer. PDF files are not RGB or CMYK – every page object can have whatever color space it wants, so the text may be CMYK, the images RGB, and the background a spot color. That’s why there’s no single statement of “color mode” anywhere on the document properties.

How do I check CMYK?

You can check your color mode by going to File → Document Color Mode. Make sure there’s a check next to “CMYK Color.” If “RGB Color” is checked instead, then change it to CMYK.
