PDF: Spot to process checkbox

[mwenz]

There should be a checkbox in the PDF Export dialog for converting spot to process.

As it is, one needs to go to the Print Options dialog, separations tab, (the File menu) prior to exporting the PDF for the conversion to happen in the PDF.

Also, once checked, the document has the isDirty flag set, XDP sees the document as being changed. Great...not what I want. But if you do save the document, exit XDP, the setting is not actually saved with the file and so is unset the next time XDP is started and the document loaded.

It does, however, remain set during the session. Which is another gotcha. If you start a new document, that flag is set for that file, too, whether you want it or not.

For years I thought it was a silly way to go about converting spot colours they should have a other tab in the Advance PDF Options. Think it is just laziness in programming when they brought in the PDF filter and this was a throwback when there was no export filter with only the Print Options.
