CMYK color specification into a RGB color specification. The same thing happens if the
document's DocumentColorSpace is aiDocumentCMYKColor and you specify colors
using RGBColor. Since this translation can cause information loss you should specify colors
using the class that matches the document's DocumentColorSpace.
Example 7.1
Dim appRef As New Illustrator.Application
Dim frontPath As Illustrator.PathItem
Dim newCMYKColor As New Illustrator.CMYKColor
'Get a reference to the frontmost path in the document
Set frontPath = appRef.ActiveDocument.PathItems(1)
'Set color values for the CMYK objects
'Then wrap the color in a standard color object
newCMYKColor.Black = 0
newCMYKColor.Cyan = 30.4
newCMYKColor.Magenta = 32
newCMYKColor.Yellow = 0
frontPath.Filled = True
frontPath.fillColor = newCMYKColor
CompoundPathItem
A compound path. Compound paths are objects composed of multiple intersecting paths,
