ColorFlow provides several built-in PDF/X Output Intents that are based on registered profiles used to specify the output intent of a PDF file. The output intent of a PDF file specifies the print response for which the PDF file has been prepared. PDF/X Output Intent reference device conditions can be used as the following:
- PCO of a color setup
- Print calibration curve target or simulation target
If the output intent of a PDF is not listed in ColorFlow, you can create a custom PDF/X Output Intent device condition using the exported output intent from the PDF file. The reference you create is saved in the system and appears in the Device Conditions list.
