PDF output separation preview
Dear #GIMP #INKSCAPE #SCRIBUS #TEX #LATEX and #PDF #opensource and #freesoftware lovers...
Do you know any #foss / #floss application that can preview output separation on a PDF file like Adobe Acrobat pro does?
I have been tried hard, even using javascript with #pdfjs but I couldn't find something very suitable for doing #prepress with opensource.
I am also ok with any #web applications.
Thanks... 🙏

Yes, correct.

•Not in Inkscape, yet.
Though I thought Scribus could.

Limitedly, it can.
But not the way I look for.

Cyanpdf converts a color unmanaged PDF into a PDF suitable to print, but it doesn't have any prepress feature.

It is usually a PDF reader that has tools or plugins that allow to inspect a document to go on press.

•Yes, I know. I ever did that for job. I haven't any PC to try but Gimp is able to open PDF file and make separate layer for CMYK.
I don't know enough Gimp, but it may be able to export each layer into a PDF file. You can try to :
1- copy one layer,
2- paste into a new picture (Ctrl+shift+v)
3- save new picture in PDF format
If it's OK, do it again with the 3 another layers.
I hope this will be useful.
