Re: [NTG-context] Embedding of ICC profiles and preflight
There are several test cases for the different PDF/X variants in
[?]/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/test
Copy 'pdf-x1a-2001.mkiv', 'pdf-x-common.mkiv' and the icc profile to
your test directory. Just add the parameter 'option=always' to the test
file and run it ('context pdf-x1a-2001.mkiv').
The profile is embedded here (1.7MB sized PDF instead of 7.5KB in the
other case).
The preflight in my Acrobat9 is only able to check the '2003' variant,
so it complains about the wrong format. You can ignore this one.
Best wishes, Peter

It seems, after several preflights, that option=always in \setupbackends
still does not work. Is anyone able to try to produce such a file an
offer it for preflight? I have tried it on both win and unix standalone

the same…

Re: [NTG-context] Embedding of ICC profiles and preflight
So, it is interesting and more complicated. The exact part: \setupbackend [format=PDF/X-1a:2001, intent=Coated FOGRA39 (ISO 12647-2:2004), option=always,% for a much bigger document :-) ] … seems to work on my Debian standalone ConTeXt installation (ok, I will test it again but it objected nothing (about ICC not embedded) in yesteday in Acrobat's preflight) but on my Win XP standalone one it doesn't work. I have the profiles in the same directories, of course. On Win it can't eat the comma, on Debian it can. Although the advice: \definecolor[cmykblack][k=1] \setupcolors[rgb=no,cmyk=yes,intent=overprint,textcolor=cmykblack] … seems very logical, it doesn't work, preflight still sees the text like a greyscale.

Hello,
I am trying to embed a profile but it doesn't work. I am using:
\setupbackend
[format=PDF/X-1a:2001,
intent=Coated FOGRA39 (ISO 12647-2:2004),
file=CoatedFOGRA39.icc,
option=always
]
Acrobat Preflight says it has not profile embedded. Am I doing something
wrong?
Mh, maybe add a comma after 'option=always'? You can also add
\enabletrackers[backend.pdfx]
in front of the \setupbackend command to get additional info in the log.
Is there a reason to force embedding of the profile? If I remember right
PDF/X-1a can do without, if the profile is common.
\setupbackend
[format=PDF/X-1a:2001,
intent=Coated FOGRA39 (ISO 12647-2:2004),
option=always, % for a much bigger document :-)
]
should be enough ('file' is derived from the entry in
colorprofiles.xml). A profile with this name should be in the specific
path. See
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/PDFX#ICC%20profiles
for the details. The mentioned $OSCOLORDIR variable is no longer valid.
The next thing is I am using text smaller than 12pt and nothing helps me
to prevent ConTeXt to:
1) overprint the GRAY text (\setupcolors allows just to set cmyk-gray/rgb);
2) knockout text smaller than 12pt, what is not allowed in a good pdf file.
Just guessing (your description rings a bell):
Use '\startoverprint ... \stopoverprint', not the global
'\setupcolors[overprint=yes]'. The latter is only useful, if your
document is pure black text only (everything in it is overprinted)!
Best wishes, Peter

Re: [NTG-context] Embedding of ICC profiles and preflight
Thanks, Just a notice – the style \startoverprint… should be probably in future versions too, or how to overprint two elements and how to knockout the next one? Is it possible? (In one file could be a lot of such cases needed.) In case of \setupcolors[intent=overprint] is the problem in the fact that preflight says that all text is gray object overprinted and that is against the standards. I have simply one test page with one article of black text. Everything goes fine except the fact of non-embedded profile and the fact that text is considered like a gray scale object. In case you could try to generate one pdf with such settings I could test them in Acrobat.

Re: [NTG-context] Embedding of ICC profiles and preflight
Heureka, don't know why but now, with your example, Acrobat sees just a one simple error – it sees like a gray object the pagenumber!
