Depending the artwork, you might be able to export the various files as bitmapped .eps files into illistrator, and apply spot colors to them there. Then you could screen back the various yellow pieces to the proper percentage of the spot yellow you are using.

I’ve did that about 7000 times or so in the last decade, and it works good if you don’t have subtle changes in the colors.

I like how there’s always more than one way to skin a cat…

I know of at least twenty-three ways. My favourite is with acetone and a turkey baster…

Oh, it’s a metaphore. Never mind.

(grin) I think all known ways of skinning a cat are illegal.
