Some of the EPS files are created from third-party PDFs by pdftops. I made the optimization because one of the sources of PDFs liked to embed gray logos as RGB images, and when the resulting EPS files got on my pages, Adobe pre-press applications flagged the RGB images and did a bad color separation. I think that the underlying issue is that printing RGB images to a CMYK printer is not a good idea. The optimization has been in pdftops for over 3 years, and so far, only one person has had a problem, while on the other hand, at one site where I installed it, it has been processing about 1000 files a week including fixing several files each week with RGB images. So the optimization has about 300 wins to 1 loss. In any case, if you think that it is better, I can make a new patch to make the default preserve the color space and add a -optimizecolorspace option that enables the optimization.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
