List of used colours in EPS or PDF?

Post by Peter2 »

Hi,
I have some hundred files - made in EPS, converted to PDF - and I would like to know the colours which are used in it. (I can use it file by file or merge them all together to one PDF).

Can it be done with the PDFTools or the Editor?

Thanks in advance!

Hello, Peter2

Top fetch all colors used, I dont believe is possible.
If you are looking to check the colors used in comments, it is possible to "summarize comments" and sort them by color, which will typically give a hex code for the majority of colors.

Do note that this will create a separate summary document per input file however, there is no way to get a single combined list of just the colors for all files at once.

Kind regards,
