Dear Jan-Ulrich, my guess is that color profiles might be have been replaced. Here there might be some background: https://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/standards.pdf#search=unset In any case, these are the profiles in current latest: $ find context -name *.icc texmf-context/colors/icc/profiles/colo-imp-cgats001compat-v2-micro.icc texmf-context/colors/icc/profiles/colo-imp-isocoated_v2_eci.icc texmf-context/colors/icc/profiles/colo-imp-sgrey-v2-magic.icc texmf-context/colors/icc/profiles/colo-imp-srgb-v2-magic.icc texmf-context/colors/icc/profiles/colo-imp-srgb.icc texmf-context/colors/icc/profiles/colo-imp-sgrey-v4.icc texmf-context/colors/icc/profiles/colo-imp-srgb-v4.icc texmf-context/colors/icc/profiles/colo-imp-default_gray.icc And these are the ones from November 2024 latest: $ find .backup-context/11012024_context/ -name *.icc texmf-context/colors/icc/profiles/colo-imp-isocoated_v2_eci.icc texmf-context/colors/icc/profiles/colo-imp-srgb.icc texmf-context/colors/icc/profiles/colo-imp-srgb_v4_icc_preference.icc texmf-context/colors/icc/profiles/colo-imp-default_gray.icc Just in case it helps, Pablo

Thanks a lot for your help. I have a lot more profiles in texmf-local, e.g. context/tex/texmf-local/colors/icc/profiles/ISOcoated_v2_300_eci.icc Therefore I also have two colorprofiles.xml find context -name 'colorprofiles.xml' context/tex/texmf-local/colors/icc/context/colorprofiles.xml context/tex/texmf-context/colors/icc/context/colorprofiles.xml The one in texmf-local has the definition for ISO Coated v2 300% (ECI). <profile> 180 <filename>ISOcoated_v2_300_eci.icc</filename> 1 <colorspace>CMYK</colorspace> 2 <class>prtr</class> 3 <id>FOGRA39</id> 4 <info>ISO Coated v2 300% (ECI)</info> 5 <checksum>e14f5db955711d914d877df35ad7a1b5</checksum> 6 <version>24000000</version> 7 <url>http://www.color.org</url> 8 <outputcondition>Offset printing, according to ISO 12647-2:2004/Amd 1, OFCOM, paper type 1 or 2 = coated art, 115 g/m2, tone value increase curves A (CMY) and B (K) 9 </profile> Maybe the lookup mechanism for the informations changed between the two version as in 2024 the right profile is found but in current not. Any hints how to match it again? juh

Sorry, Jan-Ulrich, it isn’t clear to me what is going on here. The following sample: \setupbackend [format=PDF/X-3:2002, intent={ISO Coated v2 (ECI)}] \starttext \null \stoptext gives me the following error: lpdf-fmt.lmt:282: attempt to call a nil value (global 'urls') Line 189 from the same file reads: -- When we have an URL we can assume that embedding is not needed. Line 8 from colorprofiles.xml also reads (as a comment): When the id is "Custom" we assume that embedding is needed. (Also related to line 391 from lpdf-fmt.lmt.) As far as I understand, color profiles with urls aren’t being embedded in the PDF document. For reasons totally unknown to me, lpdf-fmt.lmt has also problems with profiles from http://www.color.org. I’m afraid I cannot help here, Pablo

Dear Jan-Ulrich, I thought the patch syntax (+/- at the beginning of the line to indicate that the line should be added/removed) could help just to indicate what should be changed manually. I didn’t think of making a .patch file and applying it automatically.
But, I still get:

Please, check that your copy (not from texmf-local, but from texmf-context/colors/icc/context/) has a SHA512 starting with 0c429fa93d638e6fcb2c68022eaebecfb1f4497b862790 (otherwise, replace it with the attached version). In an earlier message, you wrote (https://mailman.ntg.nl/archives/list/ntg-context@ntg.nl/message/TPO6PDDQIE3L...):
The one in texmf-local has the definition for ISO Coated v2 300% (ECI).
Well, texmf-context/colors/icc/context/colorprofiles.xml should contain that definition too. I’m not in front of your computer (so I have to guess 😅). Disable colorprofiles.xml from texmf-local (just renaming it to ".colorprofiles.xml" should be enough [I guess]) and "mtxrun --script cache --erase && mtxrun --generate". If your also happen to have colorprofiles.lua in texmf-local, please disable before regenerating the cache (although this might not be strictly required). I hope it helps, Pablo

My profile in textmf-local...:
-rw-r--r-- 1 juh juh 1,8M 15. Feb 2022 ISOcoated_v2_300_eci.icc
I checked the File checksum. It it correct.
The names of the profiles in tex-context differs. colo-imp-cgats001compat-v2-micro.icc colo-imp-icc.rme colo-imp-sgrey- v2-magic.icc colo-imp-srgb.icc colo-imp-srgb-v4.icc colo-imp-default_gray.icc colo-imp-isocoated_v2_eci.icc colo-imp-sgrey-v4.icc colo-imp-srgb-v2-magic.icc
All names start with colo-...
But in colorprofiles.xml all these names are missing.
Sorry, but I am quite confused.

So these files are the same.

Same here.
But in colorprofiles.xml all these names are missing.
Well, what is missing is the `colo-imp-` prefix to the file names (as far as I can remember).
Sorry, but I am quite confused.
Sometimes issues may be a bit tricky, but this only means more extensive testing may be required. In that sense, let’s try some other tricks. First, compile exactly this source (which is minimal also in resulting PDF code to be inspected [no text and no font]): \setupbackend [format=PDF/X-3:2002, intent={ISO Coated v2 300\letterpercent\space (ECI)}] \setuppagenumbering[location=,] \starttext \null \stoptext If you still have the same error, please install a brand-new standalone and compile the previous source with that new brand-new installation. If you still have the same rorro, please create a brand-new (temporary) user in your OS, install a brand-new standalone and compile the minimal source with that setup (both brand-new user and brand-new install). I really hope any of this might help. Please, tell us what works (or whether all tricks failed). Best luck, Pablo

We could strip the prefix when checking ... do you have a test that exposes this issue?

I don’t have the issue and I suspect that this may be related to the installation of the standalone from Jan-Ulrich. In any case, I don’t get why not found color profiles is a problem at all, when they are actually not embedded in the final PDF document. Pablo

Dear Jan-Ulrich, I have been able to reproduce your issue. Some bugs are tricky, write a comma after the closing parenthesis to define the (previous) option value for `intent`, such as in: \setupbackend[ format=PDF/X-3:2002, %Empfehlung von Flyeralarm intent={ISO Coated v2 300\letterpercent\space (ECI)}, ] After that, I cannot reproduce your issue anymore. It seems that ConTeXt got stricter in the meantime (from last November). I really hope this solves your issue. Best wishes, Pablo

Yes it does. Thank you very much for your persistence. Have a nice weekend! juh

Many thanks for checking this, Max. I didn‘t know that it was possible to check color profiles.
No idea if this will fix the issue with ConTeXt, but it's worth a try.
As far as I know, unless the color profile contains "<id>Custom</id>" in `colorprofiles.xml`, it will not be embedded in the PDF document. BTW, inspecting the PDF code from the following source, \setupbackend [format=PDF/X-3:2002, intent={ISO Coated v2 300\letterpercent\space (ECI)}] \setuppagenumbering[location=,] \starttext \null \stoptext I get these two objects: 2 0 obj << /ProfileCS (cmyk) /ProfileName (ISO Coated v2 300% \(ECI\)) /URLs [ << /F (http://www.color.org) /FS /URL >> ]
endobj
3 0 obj << /OutputConditionIdentifier (FOGRA39) /S /GTS_PDFX /Type /OutputIntent
endobj
Reference to object #3 is contained in object #7, but I cannot find any reference to object #2. Hans, I may be missing something, but object #2 seems orphan to me. Could you check this? Many thanks for your help, Pablo

when you also define profile=... to contain it, it will be referenced, so i might need to check and not embed the reference when it's not used; irr validators complain with some mix of internal and excernal anyway Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Many thanks for your reply, Hans. I found out just by reading it (only this human validator involved 😅). But the Arlington PDF model validator complains about `/Extensions` in a PDF-1.3 document. It seems extensions are available beginning with PDF-1.7 (https://github.com/pdf-association/arlington-pdf-model/blob/master/tsv/lates...). Since I don’t know any PDF/X validator, I’m not sure whether extensions might be allowed in that case. Many thanks for your help, Pablo
