Hello community,
Is there a way I could save an embedded icc profile out of PDF using Pitstop or other tool?
I'm not asking for output intent, but color profile attached to images.
regards

Re: extract embedded icc profile
If you're comfortable with the low-level PDF format you can do this with Enfocus Browser. This is free for download at https://www.enfocus.com/en/support/down ... installers It's rather old, but still works. Navigate to the image and inspect its ColorSpace key. An ICCBased image will have an Array there, with the second element being the ICC profile stream. PDF does not make any changes to the profile stream itself, so you can simply save the stream with the appropriate .icc extension and it will work.
This would have to be done manually for each profile you want to extract. There are probably command-line tools available online that can be automated to do something similar, but I don't know any by heart.
