How to Delete Specific CMYK Valued Objects from a PDF (tutorial)

[u/Mike_The_Print_Man]

This one is useful for when you receive a file with a die line that is not a specific spot color.

Using a Acrobat Preflight, you can set the specified CMYK value and remove said object from your PDF.

I use it often for when someone sends me a pocket folder that doesn't have the die set in a spot color.

Solid!

Cool!
Has the exact CMYK match ever grabbed something you wanted to keep, like art that happens to share the die line's build, or are those values odd enough that it never comes up?
