The applications that I know of (and I'm sure that there are more!) that
are reasonably priced that will do this are:
Alwan CMYK Hub, which is expensive but incredibly powerful.
Callas pdfColorConvert plug-in and Server - A plug-in (pdfToolbox3) for
Adobe Acrobat Professional that supports the use of Device Link
Profiles. The Server version (pdfToolbox3 Server) is for hot folder
automation and is multi-threaded. This version offers much more
sophisticated conversion parameters than the plug-in and also supports
Device Link Profiles. New in pdfToolbox3 is the ability to purchase
pre-built device link profiles for many common conversion tasks.
Apago PDF Enhancer - simple support for Device Link Profiles with a few
extra color controls. Not as sophisticated as pdfColorConvert CLI but
effective.
If you would like to see the configurable options in pdfColorConvert
Server please let me know and I'll send you a dump of the configuration
file.
For the sake of clarification I do sell and train for Callas and Apago.
I don't represent Alwan but I do have friends there. If anyone would
like more information please feel free to contact me, I won't go hunting
you down.

production.

conversion?

through
