To set the color space of PDFs from Tempo, turn on Convert Colors in the CHILI PDF Export Settings the template uses, and pick a destination profile in the color space you need: a CMYK profile for CMYK output, or an RGB profile for RGB output.
Set up the export color space
Work on a copy of the export settings.
The setting lives in the Backoffice at Settings › PDF Export Settings › Standards & Output › Convert Colors.
-
Find the current settings. In the CHILI back office, open PDF Export Settings and locate the settings the template's PDF output uses now.Duplicate them. Make a copy and give it a clear name, for example <Output name> – CMYK or <Output name> – RGB.
-
Open Standards and Output. In the copy, go to the Standards and Output section.
-
Turn on Convert Colors. Check Convert Colors. A dropdown of destination profiles appears.
-
Pick a destination profile. Choose a CMYK or RGB profile, depending on the output you need (see the next section). Save the settings.
-
Test the copy. Export a PDF from the template with a DAM image placed, using the new settings, and confirm it's in the color space you chose.
-
Make it live. Once the test passes, link the new export settings to the template's PDF output in Tempo, in place of the old ones.
-
Export again from Tempo as an end user would, and re-check one PDF to confirm the live path uses the new settings.
Choosing a destination profile
Coated GRACoL 2006 (ISO 12647-2:2004) is a good default for CMYK. sRGB IEC61966-2.1 is a good default for RGB.
