I have had luck in the past renaming the .pdf to a .ai

I run Linux and Mac at home and can look into it later if you wish.

Didn't work for me.
I have now opened the filed in Photoshop with 300dpi and converted it to a indexed png image. Then in GIMP I edited the color indexes. This works, and I'm now only unsertain on the color of some text (The result is on my site http://jon.severinsson.net/civproject), but it takes far to long time to be done on a regular basis. A more durable solution is required.


Any help is apprechiated!

I'm importing into CorelDraw 12, and getting everything in CYMK - probably part of the import filter (and maybe color correction *someplace*.)

For example, for Terrain yellow, I'm getting
2,18,60,0 (CYMK) and it tells me RGB is 241,199,113

A bit different. I don't know... I'll mess with the PDF a bit and see what I can come up with...

Hey,

i hope this ain't holy but I'm trying to come up with a new colorscheme and think of a system behind it. This is because we are working on an updated version of the map divided into East and West.

you can read the progress here:

Remember: there is a difference between RGB and CMYK. ofcours you can convert it. that means: the optical screen compromise for a CMYk-value can be transcoded to RBG value. However , when you are printing RBG and CMYK there is a big difference. You can never get the same colours.

Coreldraw and Illustrator as well as Indesing are designed to output CMYK-print document and therefore accept RBG transcodes but will remain in CMYK.
You can never tell what color the output will be on paper by looking at your screen. Only experienced designers always using teh same screen may be coming close.

According to this topic:
