did you not read a word what I wrote?
There is no production level ICC color server in an overwhelming
majority of service bureaus over here. And I'm not using embedded
profiles in PDF documents because more often than not it screws things
up. In particular it hoses grayscale images when embedding a grayscale
profile - then opening it up and printing it from Acrobat 4.
Are you kidding - I hit the keyboard long before reading to the end -:).
I've been playing with InProduction to learn more about PDF and
Acrobat, but I don't really understand either properly. The pages
jump up and down on the monitor when InProduction tags or converts
pages. The window redraws several times over if I choose one CMS and
fewer times if I choose another ...
If I create a single channel K grayscale in Pshop 6, save as Pshop
PDF 1.3, color convert in InProduction using profiles that otherwise
let me do what I want to do, then I get CMYK. A grayscale profile
can't be chosen as destination space either.
One way of looking at it is that though it may seem ironic, grayscale
matching is only now falling into place. Everybody wanted color to
work, and gray seemed insignificant in comparison.
I would hope it works when printing from Acrobat 5. On the other hand
you don't have to print PDF from Acrobat which is trying to be
everything to everybody.
a. RIPs with ICC frontends able to color manage PDF 1.4 and 1.4 that
support ICC profiles which PostScript doesn't, and
I think you mean 1.3.
Yes, PDF 1.3 and PDF 1.4.
