PDF fails at optimize with error about containing non-DeviceGray color space


Product

  Prinergy 1.0; Prinergy 1.1; Prinergy Connect 2.0

Platform

 

Server: Dell or Dat General all; Client: PC or Macintosh

Operating system

 

Server: Windows NT or 2000; Client: Windows or Macintosh


Error

 

Optimizer: Found ColorSpaceArray color space. Image: XObject-Image on page 1, separation Black, contains non-DeviceGray color space; PDF file: T:\Jobs\63917_ColorSpaceArrayError\System\SubPages\p001_level2.pdf.


Symptoms

 

When refining separated PDF pages that contain RGB images in Prinergy, the refiner fails the job and reports an error similar to the following:

Optimizer: Found ColorSpaceArray color space. Image: XObject-Image on page 1, separation Black, contains non-DeviceGray color space; PDF file: T:\Jobs\63917_ColorSpaceArrayError\System\SubPages\p001_level2.pdf.


Cause

  Prinergy supports separated PDF with CMYK images, or composite PDF with RGB images (not separated PDF with RGB images). The application that is generating the separated PS isn't separating some of the components of the page, and is leaving non-gray components in the separated page.

Solution

 

A. Recreate the input files in one of the supported formats.

B. Or, you can set up a Refine process plan to convert all input to grayscale. Because the separated pages are already separated (grayscale), the Color Converter will only affect the non-gray problematic page elements.

Note: If the page contains CMYK data in your separated page, you will need the Advanced Color Management option to convert the CMYK to grayscale.

Permanent fix:
