When recoloring to a DestinationColorSpace one needs an
ICC profile or set of calibration settings to describe the
characteristics of the output device.
Normally these are held in the DestinationColorSpace itself and
if this is the case, then this property is not required and is
ignored.
However some color spaces like such as DeviceCMYK, DeviceRGB or
DeviceGray do not have profiles because they are abstract and
device dependent rather than specific to a particular device.
In this situation we need to find an ICC color profile we can
use for the conversion. This property supplies the ICC color
profile which will be used if the destination color space does not
contain one.
The supplied ICC profile must be in the same color space family
as the DestinationColorSpace. So if you are recoloring to
DeviceRGB, be sure to provide an RGB ICC profile not a CMYK
one.
This property can take a path to an icm file. If this property
is set to a file name with no path information, then the folder
"<windows>\system32\spool\drivers\color" will be searched to
locate the file.
However there are also two special values you can use. If the
property takes the value "device" then the device color space will
be used. If the property takes the value "standard" then a built in
default color profile will be used.
If this property is set to "device" then simple mathematical
formulas are used to convert components from one color space to
another. Any color profiles in the PDF or in other properties will
be ignored as every conversion involves a destination color space
which has no profile.
