If we're talking about producing documents for offset printing, then yes, I agree with you. Fact is that most PDF-producing software packages I know produce RGB (either uncalibrated DeviceRGB or sRGB). This applies to OpenOffice, Acrobat Distiller with its default settings, GhostScript. The list probably goes on. Supporting CMYK in FOP means some additional work which I don't have time for (and don't really have a need myself). The client that has asked me to implement PDF/A-1 is happy with sRGB since it's only about patent documents. If someone (you?) implements an option to generate a full CMYK PDF, then I'm all for adding that since it has been requested a number of times. But doing that per default would be a change in long-standing standard FOP behaviour which I don't support. > 2) If you want to embedd the sRGB profile, I would recommend using the > profiles found at the International Color Consortium: > http://www.color.org > > especially(Continue reading)
