PDF 1.2 is not ICC compatible.
right, but I would want to set up such an app to assume all incoming RGB is
Colormatch working space (legit enough, as that's what we're tagging the
scans with in Linocolor) and to use a custom CMYK profile to do the
conversion. would the fact that the incoming PDF is 1.2 preclude this?
unfortunately the files are generated with PDFwriter which cannot write PDF
1.3 files (and it wasn't for lack of trying that I wasn't able to get the
developers to use distiller).
the iQueue product looks promising (note to Gretag-MacBeth marketing types
lurking around: the "i" prefix is so 1998/silly/we're way over it now,
thanks :)
