When “Tool selection” is used a sample of the selected color will appear in the window 
next to “Color:” When “Document Color” is selected the window changes to a drop-down 

list where all RGB and/or CMYK colors from text or graphic objects in the document are 
displayed. 

 

 
Enter a value here to convert colors whose value is within the specified range from the 

selected color. 
 

 

Use this option to specify a new or existing spot color to convert the text or graphic to. 
 

 

The user may type any name they like. This name will then appear in Crackerjack’s inks 
list when one of the separation modes is chosen. 

 

 

If any spot colors exist in the current PDF they will appear in this list. Choosing this 
option will cause selected colors to be converted to the existing spot color. 
 

 
When “Always Make CMYK Spots” is selected, RGB colors converted to a spot color will 

also have their alternate color space converted to CMYK.  This will change the 
appearance of the color on the screen.  This is important if anyone printing the 

document elects to convert spots to process.
