You are trying to use the PostScript options that control the making of separations. But you aren't making separations. Distiller preserves the colour space of its input, so spot colours all end up as spot colours. Distiller does not make separations, so it ignores all such settings. There are plug-ins (e.g. Quite's own Quite Revealing) that can convert spot to process later. It is a formidable task. It would probably be easier to do in PostScript, by redefining setcolorspace and setcolor; but still a significant project. It would also need to consider the special handling of the setcustomcolor non-operators - there is much non-standardised in this area. Aandi P.S. You e-mailed me directly because you assumed that your original message bounced. It hadn't. It's just that some subscribers have gone away, so THEIR mail bounces. I do wish the list owners would fix it. I can only respond in list or within other forums. -----Original Message----- I am trying to distill a postscript file, and it contains spot colors that I want to keep as spot colors, and spot colors that I want to simulate. The ones that I want to keep I store in /SeparationColorNames array in the pagedevice dict. the ones that I want to omit, I leave out of that array. I set /SeparationOrder to [] So the postscript code looks like << /ProcessColorModel /DeviceCMYK /SeparationColorNames [ (roze) ] /SeparationOrder [ ] >> setpagedevice To change your subscription: http://www.pdfzone.com/discussions/lists-pdfdev.html
