This Enfocus PitStop command allows you usselect elements in a PDF if their colour space is based on a colour profile. This selection can be fine-tuned by checking one or more of the three checkboxes to determine the type of object and, for each object, the type of colour profile it must have to be selected:
-
"
Text and line art
": This refers to text or vector elements (not pixel images). We can choose whether the relevant colour space for the selection is fill, stroke or both (by checking both boxes).Warning: checking both the "
Fill
" and "Stroke
" boxes imposes that both conditions must be met, so it is a much more restrictive selection than checking only one of them. -
"
Other objects
": This refers to pixel objects.
We can make the selection specifying one of four groups of colour profile types, based on the type of colour space they correspond to:
-
"
ICC tagged gray
": Greyscale colour profiles (for instance, WAN-IFRAnewspaper26v5). -
"
ICC tagged RGB
": RGB colour profiles (such as sRGB or Adobe RGB (1998)). -
"
ICC tagged CMYK
": CMYK colour profiles (like ISO Coated v2 (ECI) or ISOnewspaper26v4). -
"
ICC tagged Lab
": The selection will not be made if the element is just in Lab mode. It must have a Lab colour profile associated with it, which is unusual (the PitStop installation comes with one called "FFEI Input Lab Profile").
