Pantone export is different

[samrc]

I am using both XDPX (v8) and XDP (v7) on this computer. The xar file was made in and exported from v8. I have tried it in v7 too.


The vector graphic is text that has been converted to shapes, sliced and assigned two spot colors.
I assigned a pantone spot color on the bottom, and a shade of that pantone on top of the graphic.

A couple bitmap copies of the vector font are included and they look alike in the xar file.
Screen shots of what I see in my editor are on page two of my xara file.

The exported pdf comes out with colors that are not the same. Have tried PDF/X (all of them) Tried Reader 8 with CMYK and Native.
Same result every time.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. I can't complete another project if I can't get my spots to come out properly.
Thanks so much.


This is the way the colors look in the exported PDF. The vector shape is not the same colors after export.
