Hello,

I'm trying to create a PDF (Distiller 7 or 8) from a ps (made from XPress 6.x or 7.X) file that contains tiff images.

The PDF is done but the ICC profile used in my joboption is not attached !

It works fine if I save the tiff to eps !

Is it possible to make a PDF with ICC (from distiller) that will include tiff ?

regards,

Didier.

Hi Didier,

This is indeed a problem since Acrobat Distiller allows tagging of all device dependent PostScript colour spaces during PDF creation but TIFF is not a postscript colour space - this is why ONLY EPS works when processing a Quark generated postscript.

Another option would be to post-process your images with a plug-in such as Enfocus Pitstop Professional or Server.

Hope this helps,

Jon

Hi Jon,

thanks for your answer,

another solution is to add the ICC profile to the Tiff file within Photoshop, is it right ?

Regards,

Didier.

Since Quark still does not support ICC profiles due to the impure way of generating PDF (through postscript) then it's a dead end unfortunately.

You should take a look at Adobe InDesign through it's native PDF export ...

Hope this helps?

Hi Didier,

Remember, there's a free 30-day download of InDesign CS3 - https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=indesign

Take care,

Jon

Don't worry we've bought Adobe CS3 Standard Edition ;-)

We send a joboption because most of our customers use XPress and Distiller.

This is very simple task.

For this I use PDF to TIFF Converter. It converts all my PDF files into TIFF very fast and easily.

you just try this PDF to TIFF Converter.
