Color Element
The <Color> element controls how color is handled on a black and white printer. It’s optional and may be used once.
The <Color> element has one optional child Convert Element.
The <Color> element has the following attributes:
Attributes of the Color Element
Attribute and values
Description
monochrome = yes | no
Setting to yes replaces all foreground colors (except white) with black, and background colors are rendered as shades of gray.
defaultRGB = CDATA
Specifies the ICC profile for converting RGB images, text, and graphics.
defaultGray = CDATA
Specifies the ICC profile for converting Gray images, text, and graphics.
defaultCMYK = CDATA
Specifies the ICC profile for converting CMYK images, text, and graphics.
The default input from Arbortext Editor is RGB, so all text is RGB. Graphics are not converted.
The color profile settings (defaultRGB, defaultGray, defaultCMYK) for the Color element override the color profile settings for the <PDFX> element. You can set defaultRGB = sRGB to revert to the color handling used in versions prior to 5.2 of Arbortext Editor and Arbortext Publishing Engine.
