Script to Batch Convert Files to PDF with Color Separation

Participant ,
Feb 26, 2024 Feb 26, 2024

Hello all,

I'm seeking a script for batch file-to-PDF conversion with color separation. Page one in full colors, subsequent pages are plates of Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black and spot colors if present.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

As a start I used this handy script 

var sepOptions = new PrintColorSeparationOptions();
var options = new PrintOptions();
options.colorSeparationOptions = sepOptions;

sepOptions.convertSpotColors = false;
sepOptions.overPrintBlack = true;
sepOptions.colorSeparationMode = PrintColorSeparationMode.COMPOSITE;
doc.print(options);


sepOptions.convertSpotColors = false;
sepOptions.overPrintBlack = false;
sepOptions.colorSeparationMode = PrintColorSeparationMode.HOSTBASEDSEPARATION;
doc.print(options);


It does a good job, but the result is split into two separate files.
Can they be merged into a single file with separation plates in color?
