Jon Wu commented on PDFBOX-2681:
--------------------------------

[~jahewson], is it not possible to bundle the Adobe profiles from the 
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4077 (ICC profile 
downloads for bundlers)? Wasn't sure if there was a general license issue or if 
it didn't fit within other restrictions of PDFBox.

> In the attached gradient-test-photo.pdf, there's a photo with a gradient on 
> top of it. The colors in the gradient are CMYK. When rasterizing this test 
> file with PDFBox 2.0.0 SNAPSHOT 20150209, the resulting image's gradient is 
> different from the original and the colors of the photo under the gradient 
> look significantly different vs the display in Adobe tools like Illustrator 
> or other compliant PDF readers.
> Issues:
> - Color hue is wrong. Is this a CMYK to RGB issue?
> - Opacity of gradient is wrong and much different. The jpg from Illustrator 
> shows much more of the photo without a gradient over it.
> Without a photo, there's still a difference, but it's much harder to see. 
> Example in gradient-test.pdf where the same gradient is drawn over a grey 
> rectangle.
> If I convert the PDF to RGB in Illustrator first and rasterize the RGB PDF 
> with PDFBox, the result is nearly identical between Illustrator and PDFBox so 
> this seems like a CMYK conversion issue in both the general color conversion 
> and maybe how the gradient is calculated.
