Creating CxF/X-4 Libraries

You can create library files containing a large set of spot color definitions, e.g. all colors required for a certain customer. Do this by importing color data from various sources into a single CxF/X-4 file. Such library files can be used for conveniently assigning missing CxF/X-4 data to the spot colors used in a PDF file, for example.

  1. Import color definitions from CxF/X-4, CxF1, CxF2, CxF3, CGATS, QTX or PDF/X files.

    Refer to Creating CxF/X-4 Data from Files for more details.

  2. Click after loading the first file to prevent existing color definitions from being removed when the next file is loaded.

    The button will then be displayed with an underline: .

  3. Make sure there are only colors you want to include in the CxF/X-4 file. To remove a color, select it and click .
  4. Save all color definitions to a single CxF/X-4 file. Make sure to enable the option Combine multiple spot color definitions….
