CMYK

[fkfausa]

Hi!

We have a customer that uses a printing agency for printing PDF's generated from docx files with dox4j. They are now asking us to "create pdf's optimised for printing", specifically by creating pdf's that use CMYK colours and not RGB colours. Is there any kind of measure that can be taken to achieve this?

Regards

Well, the good news is that this is achievable using XSL FO:

and apparently supported in FOP (used by docx4j):

docx4j's XSL FO generation would need to be enhanced to take advantage of this though.
