Color convert with n-channel ICC profiles

Multicolor spaces are allowed by the additional use of printing inks such as Orange, Green and Violet to get brilliant color results.

pdfToolbox has the possibility to convert a PDF file into a multicolor space by using an ICC profile. For example RGB and CMYK content convert to hexachrome, CMYK + Red or any other multicolor scenarios.
