You want simply DeviceRGB in a PDF and nothing else. Others will 
interprete this as sRGB and colour convert for you. Do it. Make sure your 
input is converted to sRGB before placing into PDF.
Warning:
Do not try to add DeviceN, OutputIntents or other advanced colour elements 
in PDF without understaning their implications.


After we have found a good path to settle, we can provide clear 
recommendations for implementations and handling colour for printing.
Parts of that can already be seen by the careful reader. But we 
have to figure out some more details I guess.


kind regards
