Embedding an ICC Profile to jpg image.

 Hi Paulo,

 I converted the icc profile of my image to US Web Coated SWOP using
Photoshop. My programme working fine and it created a PDFx compliant
document. However, my requirement is to embedd an icc profile
programatically OR as you suggested, mapping the default colorspace
without changing the jpg itself.

I observed the difference in the quality of PDF also, it was NOT up to
the mark. I am enclosing my code as attachment.

Can you elaborate me more on this, if you have any sample code for this,
that will be great help for me.

- Ganesh.

Only by analysing the jpeg. I think you can get away without using a
profile 
by mapping the default colorspace. Have a look in the pdfx and pdf
specs.
