From Quark to PDF COLOR not the same

[0987123]

I have problem to match color when printing from Quark to PDF. When print sample document from Quark looks perfect and bright. When converting to PDF looks blurry and different color.
Color Management in my Acrobat is off and settings are:
RGB - sRGB IE61966-2.1
CMYK - U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2
Grayscale - Gray Gamma 2.2
Engine - Adobe (ACE)
I realy want my document when converting from Quark to PDF to be same in color or near to same. Please help!

You need to check that images used in the XPress doc should of the same mode using which you are converting the doc. to PDF.

Thanks Experts but how can I check that mode in Quark to make exactly the same as Adobe?

Try checking the images themselves in their native programs, making sure they are all the same color mode (RGB, CMYK or whatever). When you create your PDF, use that color mode for minimum color changes. Also make sure all the colors you've defined in Quark (Edit > Colors...) are converted too.

Thank you for the help- My Quark files had RGB images whose color turned dull when converted to PDF. I changed the color mode to CMYK, and now they match perfectly.
