How do I convert PDF from CMYK to RGB with Acrobat X. This was setup for print production originally, but I need to convert to RGB for flip book presentation.

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 10.0, Windows

Take a look at the Preflight options.

I guess that is my problem, I can't find where the prefight options are. Sorry, I'm sure it's simple, but it's not obvious.

On the Tools panes there is an entry called "Print Production", Preflight is an entry here. If "Print Production" is not visible then you'll find it listed on the Tools Panel menu at the top right corner of the Tools Panel.

That was the magic answer. Print production was not selected as as default out of the box. it would have never occured to me to check there. I also found that it is a selectable quick tool. It's a bit frustrating that there is not a drop down to configure the right side selections as there is the quick tools selection (unless I'm missing it).

Now, I can focus on why my PDF is not handling font images in the CMYK to RGB version. Even though I successfully converted to RGB, it is still leaving ghosting on the shadows on the headers.

Thanks a ton for the help!
