If you don't want to use the formidable imagemagick package (where the conversion would be a one line bash command), you are out of look, I think, because the gdlib often packaged with php doesn't support cmyk jpeg files. External tool or nothing... ;-) > Secondly, My motive is to create Press optimized pdf file rather than > simple pdf file. As I said before, from my typesetting experience, PNG file format and press optimized PDF is something that don't fit together, a cmyk image isn't something that make a PDF press optimized, you have also look at the resolution of the images. If I create a file with a layout tool like Adobe InDesign with 72 dpi images and export it as press optimized PDF, even when the file is labeled "press optimized", it's a pile of low quality crap from the prepress view of things. Maybe you should review your workflow. Jens -- This mail was scanned by AntiVir Milter. This product is licensed for non-commercial use. See www.antivir.de for details.
