Output intents
About output intents in PDFs
An output intent describes the final destination device you will use to reproduce the color in the PDF, such as the
separations printing device. Output intents can override working spaces during viewing and printing, but they do
not convert the colors in the PDF.
Note: In a PDF/X1-a workflow, the output intent describes the working CMYK space. In a PDF/X-3 workflow, the
embedded ICC profile in the output intent is used to convert any objects with color-managed color to the color space of
the ICC profile in the output intent. In most cases this will be CMYK, but can also be RGB or Grayscale.
There are two kinds of output intents: One includes an embedded device profile that defines the color space of the
destination device, such as U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2; the other is a name that defines the destination color space
and usually names a standard output condition. Using a named output intent rather than an embedded profile helps
reduce the size of a PDF, but this is typically only possible for PDF/X-1a files, or PDF/X-3 files that do not contain
color-managed color.
