The entire "color content" of the PDF displays in the view panel.

All the color spaces, special colors and separations found in the PDF file are displayed.

 

Color space

The colors below the "After Apply" column indicate what type of conversion is needed:

Black

No conversion necessary (e.g. "CMYK" to "CMYK").

Green

Conversion with HEIDELBERG CMM (e.g. "CIE L*a*b" to "CMYK").

Blue

Conversion without HEIDELBERG CMM (e.g. "CalRGB" to "DeviceRGB").

Red

Requires your attention (e.g. missing target profile in RGB image).

The analysis shows you at once what color data are in the PDF file.

"Current" (column on the left) shows the color spaces, ICC profiles, special colors and separations present in the current pages. "After Apply" (column on the right) shows the types of conversion sug­gested for the current pages.

Note: When you open a PDF file, the page range always defaults to the last setting made when the application was exited.

 

Apply (Pages)

You start the conversion with "Apply (Pages)". The settings are applied to all the objects in the page range. You can select several documents for this process with "Shift + click". See Apply settings to several documents.
