AdobeRenderingIntent (user param)

This page applies to Harlequin v13.1r0 and later; both Harlequin Core and Harlequin MultiRIP

The RIP emulates Acrobat’s out of specification behavior for rendering intents by default. That is, Acrobat always uses the relative colorimetric intent when converting colors between transparency groups, and when converting between the page group and the output device.

This PDF parameter can switch between Acrobat and the PDF specification behavior. The default of AdobeRenderingIntent is true to emulate Acrobat.

When AdobeRenderingIntent is false , the RIP follows the PDF Reference Manual in that color conversions in compositing use the rendering intent from the containing group.

The conversion of color from ICCBased page groups to the output will now use the “main rendering intent” in ColorPro. This behavior can be emulated in Acrobat using the “Convert Colors” tool by selecting the same output profile and rendering intent. This is a significant change from previous behavior.

The conversion of color from device dependent page groups differs from ICCBased page groups in that the rendering intent of objects painted directly on the page will also be used in conversions from the page group to the output.

Default: true .
