5 colour job... CMYK + 1 spot colour

[hwhelan]

Wanting to PDF the publisher file, has to be CMYK + 1 spot colour. In
publisher under commercial print settings this shows as correct but when i
then pdf the spot colour is dropped out. Also need to print some pages with
just the spot colour on them when converted to a PDF the spot colour is
changed to all CMYK even though in the publisher file it is specified to be a
spot colour and in the adobe print settings it specifies to leave all colours
unchanged.

Please can i have some help... am running to deadline of 9am tomorrow!

Shouldn't have done it in Publisher.

I know i usually use Indesign but am limited to using publisher because of
tight deadlines and non graphic designers also working on the files... What a
pain... I am guessing through looking at others comments posted that there is
no way possible to do this? Why would publisher have a commercial print
setting which allows you to have spot colours if you can't even take it to a
commercial printers in PDF format!!!!
