Hi, Guys.

 

I'm (still) trying to produce a simple 'camera ready copy' with separable
colours.  I'm now trying to do this by using specifying my two colours to be
Cyan and Magenta with the resulting CMYK in PDF files hopefully being
separable.

 

My chain is XSL-FO with embedded SVG -> fop  (0.95) -> PDF.

 

The problem is that magenta in the resulting PDF file actually contains some
cyan and the cyan contains some yellow.

 

So I appear to need to specify CMYK directly in the XSL-FO/SVG.

 

The problem is that although 'fill=rgb(255,0,0)' seems to work ok
'fill=cmyk(100%, 0%, 0%,0%)' throws an exception (something about functions
not being allowed)

 

<svg:rect  x="0.5mm" y="0.5mm" width="5mm" height="5mm" fill="cmyk(100%, 0%,
0%, 0%)" />

 

There's an indication in the archives
(http://fop.markmail.org/message/hoz4sp4l3imabkn5?q=spot+colors) that
something of this sort should work in FOP proper, but it seems not to in the
SVG parts.

 

AS in my earlier email (sport colours), I'm struggling to find much googling
this area and what I do find tends to require a background knowledge of
printing, SVG and so on which I don't have.

 

Any help would be much appreciated or I shall be forced to start assembling
PDF files by hand :(
