Hi Rob and Shane,
I just tested this and, indeed, the "%%DocumentProcessColors:" tag reports only those process inks actually used. For example: the EPS exported from InDesign for a three-color job using Black, Magenta, and spot Purple will contain the following lines:
%%DocumentProcessColors: (atend)
%%DocumentCustomColors: (atend)
Then, later in the document:
%%DocumentProcessColors: Magenta Black
%%DocumentCustomColors: (Purple)
So reading the EPS as text and parsing the latter two lines (and ignoring the first two) looks like it will indeed give the desired information. That was a brilliant suggestion, Shane!
Regards,
Stan C.
