Hi,

http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/135543/pdf-colour-space-and-context

Aditya mentioned that the problem with transparencies is that it is
likely a known bug with Adobe Acrobat Reader: I remember similar
questions being asked in the past, and the conclusion was that it was
a known bug in Adobe Reader.

Has anyone else come across this issue and found a way to resolve it in ConTeXt?

I ran into what I think is a similar issue with LaTeX and was able to
resolve it using the following command in the preamble:

   \pdfpageattr{/Group  /S /Transparency /I true /CS /DeviceRGB}

I have not yet tried to reproduce the problem in either LuaLaTeX or LaTeX.


\setupcolors[pagecolormodel=auto]

might help

in acrobat, when transparency is used, a different route is followed (at 
least in the past) when rendering


also, rendering colorspaces might be adapted to the output medium so 
it's a combination of colorspace, monitor/paper, calibration, 
knockout/overprint, transparency groups, assumptions etc


in the end, a print on a proper device is the reference

This should be done automagically in pdfTeX (at least it once was).

Re: [NTG-context] PDF/A with ConTeXt

2008-02-08 Thread Martin Schröder
2008/2/7, Santy, Michael [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
 Records management systems prefer to receive their PDFs compliant with the
 PDF/A standard (subset of PDF 1.4).  Is there any mechanism in
 ConTeXt/pdfTex to specify the PDF output should comply with PDF/A?

There is no single switch.

PDF/A-1b is doable, -1a probably needs future extensions in the engine
(tagged pdf). Both need other software to check the images.

   Martin
