Definition

An output intent: the colour characteristics of a device or production condition the document's content is meant for, with the ICC profile that describes it.

public sealed class PdfOutputIntent

Remarks

ISO 32000-2 §14.11.5, Tables 401 and 402. Read from OutputIntents (the catalog's OutputIntents, PDF 1.4) or OutputIntents (a page's, PDF 2.0, which takes precedence for that page). A live view over the dictionary. MixingHints, SpectralData and DestOutputProfileRef are kept in Dictionary unread (the specification lets a processor ignore them).

When rendering, the output intent in effect (OutputIntent) travels with every conversion (OutputIntent); a colour management that honours it, such as the ICC engine of Broadside.Rendering, treats DeviceCMYK colours (and DeviceRGB or DeviceGray ones when the profile is of that kind) as described by DestinationProfile. The managed default ignores it, as §14.11.5 allows.

Tip: use kind:method, kind:property, kind:ctor. Press Esc to clear.
