Convert All Colors To sRGB (or Convert Everything To CalRGB)
Converts CMYK and RGB images to sRGB in PDFs compatible with Acrobat 4.0 (PDF 1.3) or later. Converts CMYK
and RGB images to calibrated RGB (CalRGB) in Acrobat 3.0 (PDF 1.2) compatible PDFs. Recommended for PDFs
that will be used on-screen or with low-resolution printers.

Document Rendering Intent
method depends on the profiles of the color spaces. For example, some profiles produce identical results with
different methods.
Acrobat shares four rendering intents (Perceptual, Saturation, Relative Colorimetric, and Absolute Colorimetric)
with other Creative Suite applications. For descriptions of these rendering intents, see "About rendering intents" on
page 438.
Acrobat also includes a rendering intent called Preserve, which indicates that the intent is specified in the output
device rather than in the PDF. In many output devices, Relative Colorimetric is the default intent.
Note: In all cases, intents may be ignored or overridden by color management operations that occur subsequent to the
creation of the PDF file.
For all Color Management Policies values other than Leave Color Unchanged, choose a working

Choose a profile to define the color space of all grayscale images in files. The default ICC profile for gray
Gray
images is Adobe Gray - 20% Dot Gain. Choose None to prevent grayscale images from being converted.
•
Choose a profile to define the color space of all RGB images in files. The default, sRGB IEC61966-2.1, is
RGB
recognized by many output devices. Choose None to prevent RGB images from being converted.
•
Choose a profile to define the color space of all CMYK images in files. The default is U.S. Web Coated
CMYK
(SWOP) v2. Choose None to prevent CMYK images from being converted.
Note: Choosing None for all three working spaces has the same effect as selecting the option Leave Color Unchanged.
You can add ICC profiles (such as ones provided by your print service bureau) by placing them in the ICCProfiles
folder in the Common folder, the Windows\System\Color folder (Windows), or the System Folder/ColorSync folder
(Mac OS).
Preserve CMYK Values For Calibrated CMYK Color Spaces
treated as device-dependent (DeviceCMYK) values, device-independent color spaces are discarded, and PDF/X-1a
files use the Convert All Colors To CMYK value. When deselected, device-independent color spaces convert to
CMYK, provided that Color Management Policies is set to Convert All Colors To CMYK.
Preserve Under Color Removal And Black Generation
generation calculates the amount of black to use when reproducing a color. Undercolor removal (UCR) reduces cyan,
magenta, and yellow to compensate for black generation. Because UCR uses less ink, it's suitable for uncoated stock.
