Removing ICC profiles problem
Using Acrobat Pro 6.0.4 and PitStop Pro 6.51 on Mac.
I've got a customer-supplied PDF that has everything tagged with U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2 profiles. My color-management-ignorant RIP is converting everything, including 100k to 4c black. There is no printing involved, just dropping the PDF into the RIP as is.
I used the an Action List called "Remove ICC" (I believe it is a default action that ships with PitStop) to strip out the tags, but the rip (Creo PSM 7)still does the same thing. How can I get the PDF to keep the colors intact? I am not doing any sort of conversion at any point inthe workflow - just passing data straight through, but something is getting converted somewhere.
The only way around it that I could find was to place the PDF into InDesign (I keep CM turned off) and print to a postscript.
