Question

is it possible to convert a PDF into a CMYK EPS using ghostscript?

The following command works fine - but the result is RGB I guess:

gswin32c.exe -sDEVICE=epswrite -o test.eps test.pdf

This command: 

gswin32c.exe \
   -sDEVICE=epswrite \
   -sProcessColorModel=DeviceCMYK \
   -sColorConversionStrategy=CMYK \
   -o test.eps \
    test.pdf

gives me the following error message

Unrecoverable error: rangecheck in .putdeviceprops

Thanks, Ronald

Solution

Currently the answer is basically no. There are various tricks which work more or less, but nothing simple and reliable.

We will be reworking the colour code in pdfwrite/ps2write and colour conversion will be addressed at that time.
