More questions! I'm using black plus one spot colour in a document, and I include PDF images generated in an external program (CorelDraw) which use the same spot colour. In the images the color is called 'PANTONE 294 CV', but I can't use that name for my colour in ConTeXT because names can't contain numbers or spaces. So in ConTeXt I define \definecolor[PantoneTwoNineFour][c=1,m=.56,y=0,k=.18] The end result is a file with two spot colour spaces instead of one. Is there a way I can combine them, either by a last-minute renaming, or a mapping, or a pre-process, or something? (I tried the brute force method of search-and-replace on the PDF file but there must be binary-encoded references to the names as well as ASCII ones, because that broke the file.) Any help as ever greatly appreciated. Duncan

There are come commercial Acrobat plugins that can map/change spot colors; AFAIK Acrobat 7 Professional can it do on its own. Otherwise you could change the color in an EPS (and distill that again). But if you have access to the original CDR files you should simply change it there. Grüßlis vom Hraban! --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/ http://contextgarden.net
