I'm generating a PDF that constains ArtText. Is it possible to generate the ArtText and save the colors on the PDF using spot colors?

Code:

using (var pdfWriter = new PdfWriter(targetFile))
{
    pdfWriter.AddPage(pageProperties.Width, pageProperties.Height, dpi, dpi);

    using (var graphics = pdfWriter.GetGraphics())
    {
        var artText = GetArtText(graphics);
        artText.Center = pageProperties.Center;
        graphics.DrawText(artText);
    }
}

The current version (8.1.24) of Graphics Mill doesn't support spot colors.

Even though we will consider to implement it after the release of version 9.0 (Aurigma Bug #0022118).

If this feature is critical for you please let me know.

Hi Fedor, our clients are from the printing industry, so yes, the spot color support is very important for them.

We plan to implement the feature in the version 9.1, which you can expect in 4-5 months.

The recent version of Graphics Mill supports the reading and writing of spot colors.
