Dear Mojca,
[I beg your pardon, if you aren’t the maintainer of the ConTeXt Suite distribution. In that case I address this message to whom it might concern :-).]
After reading some messages about PDF/A and PDF/X, I remembered that all my work documents should be PDF/A.
Since we have ICC profiles in the ConTeXt Garden (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/PDFX#ICC_profiles, http://dl.contextgarden.net/misc/iccprofiles/complete_ICC_profiles.zip), I wonder why they aren’t part of the ConTeXt Suite.
I see various reasons: - I don't remember anyone explicitly asking for them. - I suspect that Hans is not allowed to put them into his zip due to various licencing issues, but it also increases the size. - It's a bit inconvenient to fetch the files from a random place. The easiest way to handle that would be by creating a proper ConTeXt third-party module and then we would only add another module to the list.
This would make things easier to create some kinds of PDF documents.
In my personal case, I cannot update the ConTeXt Suite at work. I have to download it at home and replace the directory. Having to add the ICC profiles each time is something I’d rather avoid.
If there is something I can do to add those files to the ConTeXt Suite, please tell me and I will do it.
It would help if other people provide more feedback, but probably the best way would be to create a module and upload it to modules.contextgarden.net. Maybe best get some feedback about the most suitable location of the files before creating the module? Mojca
