Converting spot colors to the equivalent CMYK process colors

Sometimes, it may be convenient to use spot colors in your source document and have Enfocus PitStop Server convert these spot colors to the corresponding RGB or CMYK colors in the PDF document. Rather than creating dedicated — RGB, CMYK and spot-color — source files for different output purposes, you may want to maintain one single source document.

For example, you may have a newsletter or brochure containing spot-color objects, such as your company logo. You would then have the following option:

• You could leave the spot color definitions unchanged and use the PDF document to produce individual offset printing plates for each color.
• You could have Enfocus PitStop Server convert the spot colors to the equivalent CMYK process colors for output on, for example a digital four-color press.
