| Easy question: How, using Windows OS and FREE software, to convert a MS Word or PDF document into
| |
| * PDF/X-3:2002 (ISO 15930-3:2002) document,
| |
| * using ICC profile "ISO Coated v2 300% (ECI)" from http://www.eci.org/en/downloads , put into C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color\ISOcoated_v2_300_eci.icc
| |
| * 300 dpi ?
| |
| | |
| Answer: (None)
| |
| | |
| ==Differences between PDF/A and PDF/X==
| |
| PDF/A is already has font embedding, so by creating PDF/A one may come closer than with some PDFs that don't have fonts embedded

| ==Claim that it is impossible==
| |
| As of 2012-12-10 http://freepdfxp.de/xpinfo.html is claiming it cannot be done: "Liefert eine Anwendung Bilder im RGB Format, macht es auch für FreePDF und Ghostscript keinen Sinn, diese nach CMYK zu wandeln. Microsoft Office ist z.B. ein RGB Kandidat - mit MS Office Produkten kann deshalb niemals etwas an eine Druckerei gegeben werden, wenn es auf die Farben ankommt. "
| |
| | |
| ca.: "makes no sense for FreePDF and Ghostscript to convert to CMYK" ... "with MS Office products one can never deliver anything to a print shop if colors matter"
| |
| | |
| Otherwise FreePDF, along with CutePDF are the tools that produce PDFs for which no visual deviation from the word.doc could be found. Nitro is quite good too with only a small deviation. EasyPDF failed. UniversalDocumentConverter did produce files that had a size of 10*Nitro-size.
| |
| | |
| http://meiradarocha.jor.br/news/2012/08/25/como-criar-um-documento-pdfx-3-com-o-ghostscript/ claims it can be done.
| |
| | |
| http://www.callassoftware.com/callas/doku.php/en:products:pdftoolbox claims to be able to do the conversation. As of 2012-12-10 the software is offered for 499 EUR.
