[. . . ] Choosing "Use ICC Profile" allows the user to select the Source (RGB) color profile and the Destination (CYMK) profile to control conversion of objects from RGB to CMYK. On the Macintosh, ICC profile management is done by the OS, so list selections are controlled by ColorSync. In Windows there is a folder named "ICC Profiles" located inside the ARTS PDF Crackerjack folder of your Acrobat plug-ins folder. Several default ICC profiles are put in this folder during installation. If you wish to use other profiles they must be copied into this folder. Note: If there are objects within a PDF which are tagged with an ICC profile, ARTS PDF Crackerjack will use the input (source) profile associated with each object instead of the one selected in ARTS PDF Crackerjack. 3. 9. 11. Use ARTS PDF Crackerjack DIC (Device Independent Color) This selection has an effect only when "Use ARTS PDF Crackerjack DIC" is chosen. It only maps device independent color data. DeviceRGB, DeviceGray, and DeviceCMYK color space data are not affected by this option. If it is known that this PDF document was prepared in a color managed environment where the application of specific color rendering intents might have been assigned to different objects, then you should consider not using this selection. Beginning with version 2015, all Adobe PostScript RIPs support the International Color Consortium concept of standard color rendering intents. This option allows you to select the color rendering that is appropriate for the subject material. This approach is consistent with Apple's ColorSync and Window's ICM device independent color management. | CONTENTS | Page 36 of 79 ARTS PDF Crackerjack User Guide Printing with ARTS PDF Crackerjack There are four predefined renderings: Relative Colormetric, Perceptual, Saturation, and Absolute Colormetric. You would probably select Relative Colormetric or Perceptual for image or picture intensive files. Saturation would be most appropriate for documents with a lot of business graphics (bar and pie charts). Even though Absolute Colormetric often truncates out of gamut colors, it might be most appropriate for situations where you must reproduce a color exactly, such as a shirt color in a catalogue or the logo color for an important client. Within the RIP, each of these Color Rendering Intents has the effect of mapping all the ICC color data (LAB, CalRGB, CalGray) through a PostScript Color Rendering Dictionary (CRD). In theory, there should be a different CRD for each rendering intent. But in some devices, more than one Color Rendering Intent may be mapped into a single CRD. 3. 9. 12. Save color set. . .
