Dear all,
my print shop just rejected my last context created pdf job because some
objects where rgb and some cmyk. For many good (or bad) reasons for too
long I delayed my plan to establish a system for choosing the right
elements according to the selected mode.
In short I want that context chooses cmyk elements when I use the
mode=isocoated for example, and when I use no mode or mode=web it shall
use rgb elements.
We have a lot of SVG graphics which are of course in rgb.
I learned that I can convert these svg files via Scribus to cmyk pdf
files. This is just tedious work, but I guess unavoidable.
So I will end up with lots of files named filename.svg (RGB) for web
pdfs and filename.pdf (CMYK) for print pdfs.
I think of using \setupexternalfigures inside startstopmode[isocoated]
to restrict method to pdf or something like this.
Is this feasible?
Or is it better to create files with a naming scheme that hints to the
color space like cow-rgb.pdf and cow-cmyk.pdf and use the right file
explicitly in the context file? I don't like this idea.
I know that I also must have a good solution for raster images.
What do you think? How do you solve this challenge?
TIA and Ciao!
juh
