So I have code now that finds the spot color names in the dictionary
<<snippets>>
Dim pobj As PdfObject = CType(dictEnum.Value, PdfObject)
Dim parr As PdfArray = CType(pobj, PdfArray)
spotColorName As String =
PdfName.DecodeName(parr.ArrayList.Item(1).ToString)
but for the life of me, I cannot figure out how to change the color name.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Dean
