Hello,

I'm trying to convert a CMYK pdf to RGB jpeg but the following command :

convert -profile CMYK.icc -profile RGB.icc test.pdf test.jpeg

gives the following warning :

Code: Select all

convert: associate profile with image, a source and destination color profile required for transform `icc' @ profile.c/ProfileImage/812.

As you can see I have specified two color profiles, any idea why I'm getting this error ?

The PDF doesn't seem to contain a color profile :

I know this message is a warning and can in some cases be ignored, but I don't see why I'm getting it and could be a first step to understanding why I'm getting poor colors in the resulting jpg

Thank you.

easiest way is

convert -colorspace sRGB image.pdf image.jpg

With profiles, perhaps you need to read the input pdf image first before -profile?

Hello,

Yes with colorspace it works but the colors are not good… I've tried with input image before and after the color profiles and I get the same. I'm now wandering if it could be the PDF document that contains multiple images and maybe some of them don't have a colorspace.

did you try the full path the profile files?

I see your output profile is RGB.icc. This is unusual. sRGB.icc would be more common. You need both icc files in your current directory, of course.

Can you put your test.pdf file somewhere and put the URL here?
