Re: [tdf-discuss] Re: PDF export in CMYK
Hi, this might be very good solution, I'm going to investigate it deeper. I'm using linux exclusively, my friend is using windows, but this might be another (even though small ) reason for him to consider linux.

For example, if I wish to create a PDF with CMYK I use the ghostscript ppd - ghostpdf.ppd: http://www.google.com/search?hl=encomplete=0q=ghostpdf.ppdbtnG=Search and see: http://www.mail-archive.com/users@openoffice.org/msg100132.html [pdf export only in RGB colorspace!] I just set up a virtual printer using that driver/ppd select when I need to print in CMYK. Of course, it would be nice if LibO used that driver (or a modified version) to allow CMYK, but I don't know what work would be involved. File a bug/wishlist report perhaps some kind soul will take it up for LibO. Note: I've no idea on how to use this driver on Windows if that is what your friend is using... you'll need to explore the Google links for that. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Archive: http://www.documentfoundation.org/lists/discuss/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
Re: [tdf-discuss] PDF export in CMYK
Hi thank you both for answers, I understand now the situation... My friend is historcian and he is not interested in learning any DTP technics – that is quite understandable. His first pdf exported from OO was flatly rejected as it was in RBG. It is fault or shortcoming of this publishing shop but he will not change it. Today, I found and tested pstill tool, it converts pdf to CMYK pdf, only colors (in included photos) are somehow shifted, or undersaturated. I had not investigated this issue yet, it might be something trivial … This was some background, but I have following question: You wrote: „Important for this process is using the correct colorspace (sRGB or adobeRGB) is more important and there are we have no tools in LO !“ - are you trying to say, that OO/LibreOffice exports PDFs to wrong RGB type that can not be converted properly into CMYK pdf? If this would be the case it would be quite serious problem...

CMYK is printer business so they mostly prefer to do the transfer off a RGB-pdf into a CMYK-pdf. Important for this process is using the correct colorspace (sRGB or adobeRGB) is more important and there are we have no tools in LO !
