Graham, the best way to print maps from Therion's PDFs is to render them to pictures. I do it in Photoshop. It could be really huge file.  Don't render to too high resolution. For A1 150-180 dpi in final size should be enough. 
RGB/CMYK problem should be solved if one sets the color space of PDF as sRGB in printers software.

> I am having one of our surveys printed professionally as an A1 poster and a couple of issues have arisen that it is worth users being aware of. One is that the printer's software had a problem faithfully reproduced some fill areas, mostly stal flow. They solved it but it is worth keeping an eye out for this as some small areas might easily be missed.

I know that Acrobat Distiller can deal with this and generate appropriate files, but I cannot see a way of doing this in Therion.
