I have grayscale images, black text as 100 gray and spot color Pantone C on
pages.  The composite pdfs have to be separated to separated pdfs.  One of
the main reasons we got acrobat 6 was to use and view pdf separations.

Problem:  grayscale images will only come out on the black plate if
converted to cmyk.

Is there a way to avoid the conversion because the cmyk equivalent may not
equal the grayscale value?  We've invested too much into acrobat 6 to try a
diff product but I'm open to suggestions.  I'm using Pitstop Professional to
convert grayscale images to cmyk before separating in acrobat 6.  Seems to
be working and  acrobat 6's color management and emit transfer functions are
of no help.
