The latter explanation sounds highly likely, but only testing will tell. 

That said, it doesn't affect my use of PDFs from Visio (my deliverables are PDFs, not print) -- which is a good thing, because I'll bet dollars to doughnuts that PDFs made from Visio are RGB. 

Leah, if you need CMYK PDFs from Visio (or most Windows apps), I suspect the solution is the Publi PDF software described yesterday afternoon by Jacob Schäffer of Grafikhuset (www.grafikhuset.net).
