FAQ Frequently Asked Questions

What color information does the PDF Color Analyzer extract?
The tool detects color spaces (RGB, CMYK, LAB, Spot), ICC profiles, color palettes, ink coverage percentages, transparency usage, overprint settings, and identifies potential color conversion issues. It also provides hex/RGB/CMYK values for all colors found.
How do I analyze colors in my PDF?
Upload your PDF and click Analyze Colors. The tool scans every page to extract color information, displaying results in organized palettes with color values, usage statistics, and potential print issues.
Which color spaces and PDF versions are supported?
The analyzer supports all PDF versions and color spaces including DeviceRGB, DeviceCMYK, DeviceGray, CalRGB, CalGray, Lab, ICCBased, Separation (spot colors), and DeviceN. It also detects embedded ICC profiles and color intents.
Why is color space detection important for printing?
Different color spaces can cause unexpected results when printing. RGB colors must be converted to CMYK for print, which can shift colors. Spot colors require special inks. This tool helps identify these issues before expensive printing mistakes occur.
Can I check if my PDF is print-ready?
Yes! The tool identifies RGB elements that need CMYK conversion, detects transparency that may cause issues, checks for spot colors requiring special inks, and calculates total ink coverage to prevent over-inking problems.
