Convert Colors
Acrobat X Pro adds many new features to the revamped dialog, including access to the Ink
Manager. Click the blue arrow under Document Colors to reveal or hide the color spaces and
spot colors lists.
To convert a document’s colors to a different color space:
1. Choose the Convert Colors tool in the Print Production task list.
2. In the Convert Colors dialog box, select a color type option from
the list of document colors. You can specify dierent conversion
options for dierent color spaces and colorants. For example, you
could embed separate color proles to calibrate color for grayscale,
RGB, and CMYK objects. is strategy could be useful if your RIP
color-manages PDF les or if you are sharing PDF les with others.
3. Select an option from the Action menu:
•Preserve: Keeps objects in the selected color space when you output
the document.
•Convert: Uses the destination space prole to convert color objects to
the chosen output prole.
•Decalibrate: Removes embedded proles from the color objects in
that color space.
•Map to: Maps a selected spot color to a specied process plate or
another spot color in the document.
4. Choose a destination prole that accurately denes the target out-
put device.
5. Specify which pages to convert.
6. Specify whether to embed the destination prole. If you embed
the prole as a source color space, Acrobat tags all images with
the destination prole. If you embed it as an output intent, Acro-
bat uses the destination prole as the output intent, replacing any
existing output intent.
Depending on the color spaces you select, the Convert Colors
command will preserve, convert, or map color values from the source
color space to the specified destination space as follows:
•Objects with untagged RGB data (DeviceRGB) convert from the work-
ing space RGB prole to the CMYK gamut of the destination space.
Untagged CMYK (DeviceCMYK) and grayscale (DeviceGray) values are
converted in the same way.
•Objects in device-independent color spaces (CalGray, CalRGB, or CIE
L*a*b) can be preserved or converted. If they are converted, Acrobat
uses the device-independent object’s embedded prole information.
•Objects set in spot colors (including Separation, DeviceN, and NChan-
nel color spaces) can be preserved, converted, or mapped (aliased) to
any other ink present in the document. Spot colors can also be
mapped to a CMYK process color, if the process color model of the
destination space is CMYK. Spot colors mapped to other inks can be
previewed in the Output Preview dialog box.

Acrobat X Pro includes Ink Manager functions similar to the Ink
Manager in Adobe InDesign CS5, but there are important differences
between the two applications. In Acrobat, you have the choice of
