Need to convert RGB colorspace to CMYK or grayscale

krummy · January 8, 2007, 6:29am

Hello,

First, excuse me for my bad english

I need to convert the colorspace of a lot of document, generated on the fly on my server. I would like to have a little code on my aspx.vb page to convert the RGB colorspace to CMYK or grayscale.

Is it possible to do with Aspose.pdf? I’ve seen some properties and methods, but I don’t know how to use it. If not, how can I do with other components?

Thanks for your response

Hi,

Thank you for considering Aspose.

Do you mean you want to convert the RGB color in Pdf into CMYK color or grayscale? RGB, CMYK and Grayscale are all supported when generated Pdf but we don't support converting the color in existing Pdf documents. We will invertigate this issue but I don't think we can support it in short time.

Thanks for your answer. Its’s exactly what I want do. It’s “too bad”. Sad [:(]

Have you an idea of any components how can be able to do this?

Sorry I don’t know any component can be able to do this.

Was this functionality ever added or is it still on the todo list?

Hello,

I am looking for this same functionality that people above have mentioned. Basically convert a pdf’s color space to gray scale . Would it be possible in latest aspose.pdf , aspose.pdf.kit or any other component ?

Thanks.

I’m also looking for the above functionality. Converting CMYK to RGB conversion on PDFs.

Any movement on this feature?

Hi Phil,

Thanks for contacting support and sorry for the delayed response.

Do you need to convert CMYK colorspace PDF file to RGB colorspace ? or you only need to convert some of the contents present over file from CMYK to RGB ?
