[Help Needed] Color Issue When Exporting to JPG

Post by CN_SZCG »

Color Management.png
I’ve recently run into a vexing problem: with the same PDF file and identical color mode settings, the JPG files exported via PDF-XCHANGE and Acrobat show significant color discrepancies.I need the same JPG export effect as Adobe Acrobat, How can I match the JPG color output of Acrobat? What settings need to be configured in PDF-XCHANGE, or how to make the relevant adjustments in PDF-TOOLS?


(This screenshot is a comparison of the JPG export results from the two software programs.)

Hi CN_SZCG,

The issue you're describing is likely to be a color profile issue. We will need the following items in get a better understanding of what's going on:

1. In the Editor, a screenshot of the “Preferences -> Color Management” dialog box.
2. An export of the Editor application settings (File > Manage settings > Export settings).
3. Open the start menu, and type "color management". In the opened window, move over to the "advanced" tab and then click "change system defaults". From there, a nearly identical window should open. In this second window, take a screenshot of the "Advanced" tab. Then on the "all profiles" tab, take a few screenshots as you scroll down through the list presented there so we can compare the list to what is available in the Editor.
4. Open the following folder, and copy the content into a new zipped folder, and include those in your reply:
- C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color

Many thanks,
Sean Godley
