To configure the Spot Colors settings

Spot colors usually designate a fifth housing color, an offset printing device that contains a special ink. The Spot Color tab allows you to keep spot colors, convert to common CMYK standard colors, or to convert to an alternative color space. It provides a normalization process with the ability to allow you to specify how to treat PANTONE® Color values with C, CV, U, CVC, and CVU suffixes.
