CMYK vs RGB RE: PDF query

[Davis, David]

Try this thread for some exploration of these issues. I really do not think "colour correctness of the monitor" is the problem here. It's just that FrameMaker's colour handling hasn't been updated since about 1988...   https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1495005

Given the theoretical differences I'm not sure why you would expect RGB output of CMYK colors to be close to what CMYK color should looks like.

Think of it this way, if you choose a Pantone color as a spot color, you'd expect it to print exactly like as that Pantone color to paper. But to the screen, who knows? It's be "close" but depends on the color correctness of the particular monitor.
