>> 3/ texts are in black cmyk, but the must be in black

Set a black color using the CMYK model and set it to 100% black only. 
Apply this color to your text.

Note: if you apply black color to a large area (ie, not type) then you 
could also apply what is called a rich black. You may ask your printer 
to tell you what values to use, if this is the case in your layout.


>> 4/ the full pdf is in RGB, but must be in cmyk

Check the "Printer" option from the "Color" tab in the PDF Export dialog 
so your PDF will be converted in the CMYK color space.

Note: this should also take care of your black if you have set it using 
RGB but there were issues lately about how the black is generated and I 
can’t tell about the status of this now. The secure way is still to work 
in CMYK.

>> 5/ fonts are bitmaped = they want normal high resolution with fonts
>> submitted

In the "Font" tab in the same PDF export dialog, make sure all the fonts 
are embedded.

Hope this helps!
