I exported a PDF from InDesign CS5 - it worked well, no issues with the program or the output of the PDF. My problem relates to color - this area's fairly new to me.
My OS is Mac OS X 10.6.7 Snow Leopard, if that's of any use.
When exporting, I selected ISOnewspaperv264 and it worked - but, here's the kicker - it didn't display as it in Acrobat Pro, except when I previewed it.
I had to use Output Preview to see it as ISOnewspaperv264, then convert colors to output intent ISOnewspaperv264 to get it to look like a printed publication and not in Acrobat Pro's default setting of Monitor Color (I don't really want to mess up the Acrobat settings, since it's a shared computer, not just me who uses the program!)
How would I in InDesign/Acrobat get it to view similar to the printed version upon export?
I know in InDesign I can use view Overprint Preview, Proof Colors but I'm new to this area of digital/desktop publishing so any help would be required.

Chances are you do NOT need to alter Acrobat's color settings.
Acrobat will not display Overprint Preview by default.
In most cases, you simply need to choose Preferences > Page Display... and set the Overprint Preview to "Always". This should correct the display issues without a need to alter color profiles.
And you SHOULD change this preference in Acrobat even if you aren't the only users. I really don't know why Adobe has this set to Never by default.
