Abstract

A method and system for embedding a device profile into a document and extracting a device profile from a document in a color management system. A tagged-element device profile allows for selective access to the device profile. The method of embedding a device profile into a document include allocating memory for a buffer, sending a ready call, transferring the device profile or portions of the device profile into the buffer and writing the same in the document, and lastly, sending a completed call. The method of extracting a device profile from a document includes allocating memory for a buffer, sending a ready call, reading the device profile or portions of the device profile from the document into the buffer and transferring the same to a file, and finally, sending a completed call.
