Matt, < Isn't going to ever going to happen without some sort of intervention.> True! <... but all postscript that is created by programs that use the Windows GDI will be RGB > Not completely true, actually. What GDI directly outputs *is* RGB. No doubt about that. You CAN print CMYK PostScript with 'Grafikhuset CMYK PDF Creator 3.1' on top of GDI, however, though such PostScript won't be portable (it's bound to your local Distiller, which ensure that the CMYK PDF Creator plug-in WILL intervene). Anyway, a combination of CMYK PDF Creator and Quite A Box Of Tricks provide fantastic conversion results, especially when you set-up CMYK PDF Creator to 'Leave Images Unchanged', and then convert the document to CMYK with QBox. The benefit is that CMYK PDF Creator takes care of text and vector based art (which it's really good at) and QBox hereafter takes care of the bitmaps. PitStop can be used instead of QBox though I recommend QBox because QBox can access PDF objects that are unknown to PitStop.

There are ways to deal with the RGB gray, but all postscript that is created by programs that use the Windows GDI will be RGB.

My main concern is that the PDFs I create from Word have RGB images and not CMYK ones. I am using Acrobat 6. Best regards, Pascal. Do You Yahoo!? -- Une adresse @yahoo.fr gratuite et en fran�ais !
