Accurate CMYK is the crux here unfortunately; we've got a headless browser PDF setup already working for anything that's fine with "sRGB, probably?" in terms of colour accuracy, but there's a bunch of large companies with stricter requirements (and the budgets for it, thankfully).

(Though browser-based PDF isn't a panacea either. We've got one customer whose 250 page technical manual needs between 40 and 70 minutes to generate through paged.js and Chrome… They're fine with running it as an overnight job, but it's still painful to watch.)

Yeah, I get it, that sucks :/ I do know that PrinceXML has CMYK support so maybe check it out. Else you'd always have FrameMaker and the Server edition if you wanna go that much enterprise-y.
