I'll be in touch shortly with instructions for downloading the code. Anyone reading this e-mail through the list or archives can contact me for the code as well.

Hi Ben,
sounds to be interesting. It could save me the time, to produce different PDF's for different targets. Can you perhaps send me your lib, so i can test it against my documents?
Thx Carsten

Carsten,
Unfortunately, I already started another route before I got your e-mail; I've written a small library that adds the spot color objects (Separation and Transformation objects) to the PDF, changes the rg/RG commands (or their non-shortcut equivalents), and rewrites the PDF, fixing the cross-reference sections as necessary.
Why write my own lib? I wanted a light-weight lib that didn't attempt to parse the PDF objects themselves -- just the PDF structure enough to let me add objects and swap out existing objects. That, and it seemed like fun.
I opted against modifying FOP since the maintenance branch will soon become obsolete (thus forcing me to write a patch again) and I can't work against the redesigns yet.
So, if you or anyone wants my little lib, just let me know.

Hi Ben,
we would be very interested for using the spot colors out of fop without any post processing. At the moment, we have only a 1C document, so we're using black for the spot color. But this could change in the near future.
So if you need help, we're willing to assist you.

I have to include spot colors in PDFs that my company is generating with FOP. Does anyone have any interest having me extend FOP (maintenance branch) to support spot colors? If there aren't other interested parties out there, I'll just create a utility that will post-process the PDF after uncompressing its streams.
