I created a 60 page book in CMYK because it is going to be printed. I now need to convert this document to RGB so it can be viewed online. From doing a little research on this site, I see that I can change the color profile as I am exporting the PDF, and not have to individually convert the photos and swatches as I originally feared.

When I went to export and change the color profile, I noticed that there are a few sRGB options. The following may seem like a silly question, but I want to make absolutely sure I'm selecting the right profile. Which sRGB profile do I need to use: Document RGB, Working RGB, or just sRGB?

They are all the same profile. The name of the profile is sRGB IEC61966-2.1. The other labels are just where they are set:


Working RGB says your program is using that RGB mode. Yes you can work in a space that does not reflect the document setting.
Document RGB says the document is specifying that RGB mode.


They are all the same profile though and result in same thing.

Anyway I dont really see the point in converting the doc to RGB for web. That is unless you plan to adjust the colors after the conversion.
