Abstract:
1. A system for specifying rendering intents in a page description language comprising: a user interface for receiving a rendering intent and an identification of an object associated with the received rendering intent; a page description language (PDL) file generator configured to specify an output color for the identified object with a standard color attribute and to generate an identifier that enables a PDL interpreter to detect a PDL output parameter as a rendering intent parameter and a tag to associate the identified object with the PDL output parameter; and an encoder configured to generate a code that enables the PDL interpreter to identify the received rendering intent for printing of the object associated by the tag to the PDL output parameter, the identifier that enables detection of the PDL output parameter as a rendering intent parameter and the code that identifies the received rendering intent being stored for the PDL output parameter associated with the identified object to preserve the specification of the output color with the standard color attribute while enabling identification of the PDL output parameter as a rendering intent parameter for the identified object and as enabling identification of the received rendering intent for printing of the identified object with reference to the code stored for the PDL output parameter.
