pdfResetMPDeviceNChannelList
Get the name of a DeviceN color channel (multi-pass DeviceN API).
void pdfResetMPDeviceNChannelList(PDFHandle pdf)
This function removes the color channel list that controls multi-pass
rasterization by the
pdfConvertPageToDeviceNImage,
pdfConvertPageToDeviceNImageWithAlpha,
pdfConvertRegionToDeviceNImage, and
pdfConvertRegionToDeviceNImageWithAlpha functions. I.e., this
resets the DeviceN rasterization functions to use the regular one-pass
approach, where any color channels beyond the first 32 are converted
to CMYK.
To enable multi-pass rasterization, call pdfAddMPDeviceNChannel
one or more times after pdfResetMPDeviceNChannelList.
