It would be wicked cool if you could pick the rendering intent on a per
image basis...who knows, maybe one of the third parties will come up
with something.
Praxisoft ICC Autoflow does this with EPS files that contain multiple
objects (and PostScript too of course). So I would not be surprised if
the Windows version was able to do this with PDF (as it's the only
version that supports PDF).
As far as I know, this would be the only way to do this in addition to
color managing PDF's intended for raster destinations because for some
REALLY LAME reason (hello Adobe PDF team), you only get that Advanced
button if you have a PostScript printer driver selected. If you don't
have a PostScript printer driver selected, you don't get the advanced
button and hence no color management out of Acrobat for print. Seems
like lunacy to me.
Another thing you might be able to do - not sure, haven't tried it - is
to open the PDF in InDesign and perhaps it will treat objects in the
PDF separately for the Image Color Settings dialog (probably not but
worth a try) which will allow per objects rendering intent control. But
from within Acrobat...hey the Photoshop team, InDesign team, and
Illustrator teams can do PDF to raster color management. Why can't
Acrobat? (my eyes are rolling)
At any rate, one of my biggest beefs with the whole scenario is that --
when using a Mac -- you have to use Photoshop to build a color settings
file (saving your color settings preferences as a .csf file) and then
load that into Acrobat Distiller.
Or Acrobat.
Otherwise, for some odd reason, if
you attempt to change the color job options in Distiller, then attempt
to save out the job options, the color settings revert to what they
were before you saved the joboptions. This doesn't seem to happen on
Wintel machines though.
Yeah it's a bug (I think) that got introduced with the 5.05 updater.
When someone on this list tried it on 5.0 it wasn't a problem.
