It worked yesterday before I updated to OSx 13.01 Ventura.

When I try and export a PDF with any kind of CMYK profile the file is huge and the preview is corrupt.

RGB or no profile is fine.

I noticed that if I go through the export process, the file size indicator shows as multiple megs, previously it was a few 100K.

And when I look at the resulting file corrupted and looks like the preview. Is there any thing I can update to get the export working again?

Hi there. This issue has been reproduced and will be fixed in the next Pixelmator Pro update. For the time being as a workaround, I suggest exporting your project to a different file format.

I'm trying to upload a file to Amazon and they only accept PDF. I have been uploading without a CMYK profile.

Any guesses regarding when an update will be available?
