What it does

Converts the color space to DeviceN without NChannel information.

About NChannel

NChannel is an extension of the DeviceN color space, a multi-component, device-dependent color space. NChannel color spaces give applications greater flexibility when representing colors that are not available on a target device.

NChannel is supported from PDF 1.6 (Acrobat 7.x) onwards. If you are opening a PDF in an earlier version of Adobe Acrobat, colors can print or display incorrectly.

About converting NChannel to DeviceN

This Action will convert NChannel to DeviceN, so the object looks as it will be printed when using devices not supporting PDF 1.6 features.

Note that there are three options. You can convert the color space to:
  • DeviceN
  • NChannel with regular DeviceN color information only
  • NChannel with color information additional to regular DeviceN
Note: This Action will have no visual effect if all colors are available on the target device.
