Access db converted to pdf...CMYK problem

[Polly]

I am having problems converting a access db to pdf and
keeping the CMYK setting. For some reason it changes my
eps files that are saved as CMYK, to RGB. HELP! I don't
know what the problem is here. A 3rd party created the db
to build a magazine. I design the advertising; save it as
eps; convert the eps to photoshop eps, which is still
CMYK; then the magazine is built using access. The db is
then printed to distiller, all the setting have been
double check as not to convert to RGB, but it does it any
way. Could there be a conflict with access colors and my
eps CMYK colors?

Access is not an image file. It's a database. You cannot "save Access
as a pdf"!

Are these images stored in a Table? If so, be aware that Access
converts any image data to a bitmap and stores THAT - in addition to
whatever format it was originally; this can cause astounding bloat of
the database. For this reason (and others), most developers store
images as external files and store only the file name and path in a
text field, or a Hyperlink to the image file, in the Access table.
