Summary | 0005234: map names of spot colours in the pdf export dialog | ||||
Description | Quite often, certain spot colors are used eg. for logos etc. The NAME of those spot colors is crucial for the printer to select eg. the correct pantone color. Within "my" organization however, those spot colors have a different "name". Let it be "my itzi-bitzi logo color". Most of the people (secretaries, I'm sorry) don't know anything about pantone et al. So it would be nice to have the "itzi-bitzi logo color" in the palette, while the preprint export would name the color eg. "pantone 356". | ||||

You only refer to spot colours, right? |
|
Yes. The situation where swatch "names" have a special meaning (to the printer) is limited to spot colors, as far as I see... |

@jghali : what do you think about this? Personally, i think it would be useful to have a "Company Name Red" color to be used and it will be replaced by a spot color name in the PDF. In my eyes it's a good beginners task: - Add a "Nice name" input field in Edit Color, that is activated when "Is spot color" is checked. - This new name is displayed internally when it's not empty. - We might want a "diaplayName" and a "printerName" accessor, that would return different values only for spot colors. If you think this could be useful and easy to implement, I can put it on the list of "easy hacks". Otherwise (as an example if there are better way of doing it), I think it's time to close this issue as "Won't implement" |
