The function enables color management in the functions RenderPage(), RenderPageEx(),
RenderPageToImage(), and RenderPDFFile(). All color profiles are optional. Default profiles for
DeviceGray and DeviceRGB color spaces (sRGB is default) are automatically created if not provided.
The most important color profile is the CMYK profile because it is not possible to create such a
profile with build-in functions. If no CMYK profile is set DynaPDF renders CMYK only with color
management if the file contains corresponding ICCBased color spaces or an embedded CMYK
output intent.
The file paths can be defined in Ansi or Unicode format (UTF-16). Ansi strings are interpreted in the
code page 1252 on Windows and in UTF-8 Unicode on non-Windows operating systems.
It is also possible to load the ICC profiles from file buffers. See InitColorManagementEx() for further
information.
The SoftProof profile specifies an arbitrary output color space that should be simulated.
To disable color management set the parameter Profile to NULL. Because Visual Basic 6 doesn't
accept vbNull for this parameter, call DisableColorManagement() instead. This function exists in the
VB 6 interface only.
Although Black Point Compensation (BPC) is not enabled by default, it is recommended to enable it
because it improves the rendering quality of CMYK images a lot.
