sorry, forgot it. it's 1.3.9 with svn20110107-1 on ubuntu 10.10. and this option was selected. > Date: Thu, 20 Jan 2011 18:34:54 +0100 > From: eric hanuise <ehanuise at fantasybel.net> > > I ran into this when outputting files for a printer some time ago. > PDF/X3 is a standard that supports RGB images with a color profile, and > it's actually a scibus feature to preserve the original images and color > profile instead of converting them to CMYK when using a PDF/X3 format. > I discussed the issue with the printer, and CMYK was more important than > X3 to them, so I exported the files to PDF 1.5 with the specific color > profile they required, and everything was converted to CMYK in the process. ok, that's the explication; i have also a printer who wishes pdf/x-3 _and_ CMYK. shouldn'd it be reasonable to have a checkbox for 'convert images/colors to CMYK' in the 'output to pdf'-window? bye...masc. -- _______________________________________________ Surf the Web in a faster, safer and easier way: Download Opera 9 at http://www.opera.com
