Krita: pdf colours are RGB

Mon May 02, 2016 12:30 pm
Hello,
I have a pdf. We have already successfully printed flyers.
If I open the pdf in Krita then the color space is marked as RGB.
The layouter of this flyer told me that this is CMYK, and it was created with Photoshop. Unfortunately I do not have Photoshop.
Do you have an explanation for this? I want to Mail a CMYK file to the print shop.
Why does Krita say RGB?

Here is the file: https://www.fairtragen.de/fairtragen_flyer.pdf

thank you in advance

That's because Krita's PDF import code uses the poppler library, which can only handle the RGB colorspace, so it gets converted on import.
