How do i save a PDF in CMYK mode with the PDF and all Elements using a Color Profile. And how do i embedd it?

Profile: https://www.athesiadruck.com/fileadmin/user_upload/Files/Downloads/ISOcoated_v2_300_eci.icc

ImageEnView1.IO.LoadFromFileJpeg('..\..\test.jpg');
ImageEnView1.IO.Params.JPEG_Quality := 100;
ImageEnView1.IEBitmap.ColorProfile.LoadFromFile('..\..\ISOcoated_v2_300_eci.icc');
ImageEnView1.IO.Params.InputICCProfile.LoadFromFile('..\..\ISOcoated_v2_300_eci.icc');
ImageEnView1.IO.Params.OutputICCProfile.LoadFromFile('..\..\ISOcoated_v2_300_eci.icc');
ImageEnView1.IEBitmap.PixelFormat := ieCMYK;
ImageEnView1.IO.Params.JPEG_ColorSpace := TIOJPEGColorspace.ioJPEG_CMYK;
ImageEnView1.IO.Params.PDF_Compression := TIOPDFCompression.ioPDF_LZW; // LZW because ImageEn messes up the Picture when i use CMYK in PDF //ioPDF_JPEG.
ImageEnView1.IO.SaveToFilePDF('..\..\test.pdf');


Using the JPEG compression for PDF with CMYK does produce a messed up PDF where the Picture looks like a drug vision.
ImageEnView1.IO.Params.PDF_Compression := TIOPDFCompression.ioPDF_JPEG; so i used LZW


Is this even possible? I want to produce a PDF with my own line drawings, layers, pictures, text and save the whole PDF including all elements and Pictures as CMYK with profiles, so im able to send it to a Printing company that requires me to work with "CMYK ISO coated v2 300%". In Adobe Indesign it is possible, but im not able to do it with ImageEn.

Hi

I'm afraid that is not supported at this time.

Is it on your todo list? I think CMYK/Profiles are an important thing especially in PDF's, as they are the standard way send printjobs to Printing companies (and even normal Home and Corporate printers work with CMYK inks). Most of the technology is already there in ImageEn i think, isn't it?

Hi

PDF enhancements are on the to-do list, though I had not considered embedded CMYK profiles. You should request it on our user voice page:

I don't know if it is required to embedd the profile into the PDF and each resource/image in the PDF or if it is still ok if i just use CMYK and the profile while working with the layers and images and textouts.
When i save all to a PDF, does it still stick to CMYK or does it convert everything to RGB while putting it into the PDF?

Hi

If you use ioPDF_JPEG, then ImageEn will save the JPEG as it would otherwise. Potentially, this might provide results that are not supported by PDF.
