To configure the Spot Colors settings
Spot colors usually designate a fifth housing color, an offset
printing device that contains a special ink. The Spot Color tab
allows you to keep spot colors, convert to common CMYK
standard colors, or to convert to an alternative color space. It
provides a normalization process with the ability to allow you to
specify how to treat PANTONE
® Color values with C, CV, U, CVC,
and CVU suffixes.
