I am currently using
FOP 0.20.3 to create a PDF that will be used in newspapers that print using CMYK
processes. When these newspapers use an RGB PDF, they run into lots of
problems. I have searched through the list archive and found very little
about the CMYK colorspace in FOP. I tried to modify the PDFDocument class
to default to CMYK, but that doesn't seem to help much.
protected ColorSpace
colorspace = new ColorSpace(ColorSpace.DEVICE_CMYK);
Unfortunately, I am
also using some SVG elements, but Batik seems to only output RGB elements.
Has anyone successfully used FOP to make a completely CMYK
PDF?
(I am checking my
results by opening the PDFs in Photoshop and checking the color channels.
When I open the PDF in Photoshop 5.5, the PDF correctly splits into the CMYK
channels with black text only appearing on the Black channel.
But when I open it up in Photoshop 6.0, the black text appears as a combination
of all 4 color channels instead of 100% black.)
