Hi Thomas,
I would be interested to see your patch.
I'll try to find it, then adapt it and send it to You in private first,
but this will take some time!
The code in my "old" patches has been working well, or at least, I
haven't had any complaints since I installed it in August 2011.
I am using -level1sep to make EPS files for CMYK separations. I am
not doing any spot separations from EPS files generated from PDFs.
My software is capable of making spot separations from EPS files, but
no one has sent me a PDF with spot color, so I don't have a way to
test if pdftops will do what I need.
Download the complete Ghent Output Suite. It has several examples with
Separation and DeviceN colorspaces with spot colors (that samples I also
used to test the DeviceN implementation in level3)
If that works, I can send You a few additional PDF in private which uses
spot colors.
Cheers,
Thomas
Regards,
William

I am building pages from eps files produced by pdftops, and I need
-level1sep to get software color separations to come out right.
-level2sep sometimes generates color that the software can't separate.
Oh, I see. Separation of PostScript is not a quite easy issue. And I
think, there are some problems in the use of setcustomcolor and
customcolorimage in the original xpdf code. As far as I remember, a
collegue of mine gave me some hints in 2007 and I uploaded a patch to
xpdf to make ps output separable which was never inserted. But because
PostScript is not my favorite subject, I didn't care. If You're
interested, I can look if I can find it again, adapt it to the actual
code and we can work together to get it running.
Cheers,
Thomas
Regards,
William
