PDF Print Optionality

Make can allow you to create print ready PDFs out of your web templates.

The following options require the colorSpace parameter to be set to CMYK in your Make request.

Color Mapping

Color mapping array allows you to convert the colors of certain objects with specific RGB colors into one of the following:

  • CMYK: Cyan, magenta, yellow, key (black) color levels. Useful for all print providers
  • Spot Separation: Refers to any color or treatment generated by an ink that is printed using a single run (unlike CMYK which requires 4 passes). Spot can refer to Pantone/PMS color values, Spot UV and foil embelishments.
'postProcessing': {
'colorSpace': 'CMYK',
'colorMapping': [
{
'fromRGB': 'rgb(228, 70, 0)',
'toCMYK': 'cmyk(0,0.94,0.64,0)'
},
{
'fromRGB': 'rgb(31,42,68)',
'toSeparation': 'PMS C-324'
},
],
},
ParamTypeNotes
fromRGB (required)stringCan accept an RGB (rgb(0,0,0)) color value (numbers are integer values)
toCMYKstringCan accept a string with four float numbers (between 0 - 1) for the values of cmyk(0,0,0,0)
toSeparatiopnstringCan accept any string value. (ie. PMS C-123 or SPOT UV)

CMYK profiles

Determines the CMYK color profile.

Depending on the printing method, the artwork being printed or the application of the artwork a particular conversion profile may be needed to ensure the successful reproduction for printing.

'postProcessing': {
'colorSpace': 'CMYK',
'colorProfile': 'CoatedGRACoL2006',
},
ParamTypeNotes
colorProfilestringDetermines the CMYK color profile.

Default: USWebCoatedSWOP.

Crop and trim boxes can be defined on the PDF object. The define certain regions for the PDF viewer and for professional printers when printing.

The four values determine the (top, right, bottom, left) internal offsets from the format boundary.

Offset values are determined in pt.

'postProcessing': {
'colorSpace': 'CMYK',
'cropBox': '(0,0,0,0)',
'trimBox': '(12,12,12,12)',
},
ParamTypeNotes
cropBoxstringDefines the region that the PDF viewer is expected to display or print.

Default: (0,0,0,0)
trimBoxstringDefines the intended dimensions for print.
