Hi,

Most printshops do the RGB-CMYK conversion themselves,
normal home/office printing devices take in RGB.

If your friend wants to enter the field of "real" DTP (and
does not have/want the cash to shell out to Adobe) he could
go for Scribus, a cross-platform FOSS DTP application.
Scribus imports styles and some formatting from OOo/LibO.

The learning curve (in DTP) is quite steep, and you're
entering a minefield of professional techniques and jargon
which is best handled by the printshops - unless one wants
to take the plunge themselves.

The easiest would be to place the LibO-RGB.pdf in an image
frame in Scribus (each page separately) and let Scribus
render the file to Scribus-CMYK.pdf.

There are also a bunch of command-line tools which can
assist in such a conversion, but for them to be useful one
has to know exactly which parameters to use.

Regards,

Sveinn í Felli

Tibor,

A few years ago i would say yes a good idea that "CMYK" but deaser days
RGB is a common workflow due to the online use of the same (rgb)
documents. CMYK is "printer" business so they mostly prefer to do the
transfer off a RGB-pdf into a CMYK-pdf.
Important for this process  is using the correct colorspace (sRGB or
adobeRGB) is more important and there are we have no tools in LO !

Hi,
Friend of mine had an issue with openoffice, He was asked to deliver
pdf in CMYK colorspace. It is not possible by now AFAIK. But are there
any plans or any work being done in this regard? I just wonder, it is
not critical issue for me, nor for my friend. He used some Adobe
product at the end...

Regards
