pdfRemoveDeviceNChannel

Remove a DeviceN color channel.
void pdfRemoveDeviceNChannel(PDFHandle pdf, int channelIdx)
This function removes (sets to zero) one color channel of the DeviceN image generated by the last call to pdfConvertPageToDeviceNImage.

This is useful to remove one or more channels before calling pdfGetDeviceNToRGBBitmap.

The channel mask functions, pdfResetDeviceNChannelMask and pdfSetDeviceNChannelMask, provide equivalent functionality and are more efficient.
