Description Dan Coby 2006-07-03 20:24:22 UTC

The given test file uses both PDF 1.4 transparency (soft masks) and spot 
colors.  PDF 1.4 transparency compositing currently uses either an RGB or a 
CMYK process color model.  As a result when doing PDF 1.4 transparency 
compositing, the spot colors are converted using the color space's tint 
transform function.

To properly support spot colors with PDF 1.4 transparency features, the 
process color model for the PDF 1.4 conpositor needs to be extened to support 
spot colors.  (A sub task of this enhancement is to determine the number of 
spot colors prior to the main processing of page.  This is needed so that 
buffer space can be allocated and to limit processing time. Determining the 
number of spot colors is probably practical for a PDF file but not for a PS 
file.  Fortunately transparency compositing is only a feature of PDF and not 
PostScript.)
