• I'm looking for updates for Adobe cc pantone color libraries 2015.

  Cannot find the shift of color pantone thereafter books CC 2015.

  PANTONE stopped updating libraries HAVE several versions ago. You should probably download the 30 day trial of Pantone Color Manager and export libraries of here to get the new colors.

  Update of the Adobe color books:

  http://Pantone.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/A_ID/1803/~/exporting-PANTONE-libraries-for-Adobe-and-other-solutions-from-PANTONE-color

  PANTONE Color Manager does not 'automatically' Refresh libraries; on the contrary, it gives you access to libraries for export in your applications.

  The steps to do this are entirely documented within the system of online help installed with the software and accessible from the Help menu. You can find them on Page 11 y. Here's a brief description:

  1. If your target applications are open, close them.
  2. launch PANTONE Color Manager
  3. go on display/Fandeck, then select the library you want to export.*
  4. go to file/export/select your application/choose L * a * b * to print or sRGB for Web design *.
  5. the library is exported and is now accessible from your target application.

  * PANTONE Color Manager also allows you the flexibility to assemble and work with color palettes, or apply an output profile for your front of libraries/pallets for export, to provide management of the PANTONE colors for a particular device. Please refer to the 'Help' system for more details.

  * PANTONE + Color Bridge libraries must be exported in CMYK.

• Missing Pantone color chart? 2028

  You are looking for a shade in Illustrator, 2027 and 2028. They are part of the PMS Solid Coated series Guide Plus formula of 2013.
  
  Looked in the PANTONE + CMYK and PANTONE libraries + solid coating and they didn't come. All the tracks?
  

  They are part of the 336 new colors that have rolled into the swatches Pantone 2 Version in early 2014. None of these books of swatch is provided by Adobe.

  You can either buy the Pantone Color Manager and export them. I believe you can also download and install the trial version and export them. If you have recent books of Pantone physical, I think you can get a free copy of the PCM - look on their Web site for more information.

• How to script Illustrator to get a library of shades PANTONE color chart

  I've searched high and low, but can't find the answer to this question.  Quite simply, I need a script to convert all spot colors PANTONE an Illustrator file in the PANTONE BRIDGE book CMYK equivalents.

  To do this, however, it seems necessary for the script to search through the various books PANTONE swatch library color to find the one I'm looking for.  I have a string that I need, but I don't see how ExtendScript can perform a search in the libraries of different shades (or even just the a library - 'Coated + PANTONE Color Bridge (UN)'.  I can't just to watch the nuances that are in the main "Swatches" palette using Document.swatches.  Any ideas?

  I'm afraid that code gives me an "MRAP" error in the ESTK.  But, I actually found a way around the problem by using your original suggestion to have a separate file with all color swatches Pantone, added to this, then the script can enter this shade, grasp its getInternalColor, turn it into a CMYKColor, then assign the extracted values of getInternalColor of four properties of the colors of the new shade.

  Yes, it is a bit of a roundabout method and takes a lot of code, but it does the job quickly, and that's what I need.  Here is the code I have (the "workDoc" has already been assigned to the currently open document.):

  // To finish up, we delete the other two layers beyond the first and then save the file for use as digital printing file.
  // First, delete the two layers.
  workDoc.layers[2].locked = false;
  workDoc.layers[2].remove();
  workDoc.layers[1].locked = true;
  //          workDoc.layers[1].remove();
  
  // Before grouping and mirroring all of the artwork, it's time to convert all spot colors to process
  // using the PANTONE Bridge book as a reference.
  
  // First, let's open up the reference document that has all of the PANTONE Bridge book colors as swatches.
  var bridgeDoc = app.open(File("~/Documents/PantoneBridge.ai"));
  
  // Since attempting to colorize textFrame objects seems to crash Illustrator, we're best off just converting them all to paths anyway.
  var texts = workDoc.textFrames;
  for (var t = 0; t < texts.length; t++)
  {
            texts[t].createOutline();
  }

• Pantone color chart do not appear in the swatches Panel

  IM in the process of conversion of a logo to spot colors. When I open the swatches Panel and choose one of the books, pantone, the Panel opens on what you see below. This same thing with all the books in color except for the basic of illustrator books.

  Someone has an idea?

  

  Sorry, now I understand. You are Explorer installed? If so, update the latest version.

• Pantone color question

  Hi, could someone help me with this please?  My printer wants me to pass the text I used in Illustrator to Pantone.  I use Illustrator 10 and am wondering how I would go about the passage of the police of CMYK to PMS.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you.

  hrggroup,

  Assuming you have outline of direct Type, you can:

  (1) select the Type, and then click the color box at the bottom (left); should display you the current value of CMYK of the Type (filling) in the color palette;

  2) click window > libraries of shades > PANTONE according to what is relevant (you may need to ask the printer, which choose (perhaps lying/non-couche solid)); This should open the relevant game from the PANTONE color chart.

  3) click on the desired shade. This should now display in the color palette.

  This should change the color of the Type as you wish.

• How can I change my design to a pantone color together?

  Can someone please help as how to change my document to be pantone 280C?

  If the identity of the brand should always be Pantone 280 logo should exist as such. Ideally, a logo should be designed in the expected color, in levels of gray and black & white. Are these are available in the original native format? Always lean towards the use of a vector image format if available.

  It is important to know how it is to be printed. My answer "1 - export a PDF ready press and your printer to print all in Pantone 280.» They print everything in shades of gray and run Pantone 280 " only works in traditional offset. If it is digital printing answer 2 applies.

  For a jpg file, open the image in Photoshop (or equivalent) and convert it to grayscale (giving it a unique name; save your original).

  In InDesign select the image with the direct Selection tool and apply the Pantone color chart.

  

• How to print the pantone colors

  I have a CS3 with a 10.5.8, operating system and I want to print a file that I did with the Pantone color chart.

  My printer is a Canon Pixma iP 4000.

  I tried to use photoshop manages colors in handling, with cmyk-US web coated printer profile, with relative colorimetric intent color rendering.

  Black point compensation?

  Please tell us what settings should I use to get the colors pantone correctly under color management

  Thank you

  Oh dear... you can't!

  You will need xxxx PANTONE ink... ie: its for offset printing, printing etc. of screen not for desktop printers

• PANTONE + does not match the previous Pantone spot color chart. I have several customers who are using spot colors in logos etc and now these colors are a mess. Can I get and use the old color for Illustrator books?

  PANTONE + does not match the previous Pantone spot color chart. I have several customers who are using spot colors in logos etc and now these colors are a mess. Can I get and use the old color for Illustrator books?

  Well, the spot color has not changed, but the way they were simulated four-color changed, they now use color management to get to the nearest ink possible task.

  Here is some info:

• Lack of pantone colors?

  Hello

  I have my palette Pantone Solid Coated to open in Illustrator, but it is impossible to find the colors Pantone 7548 8002 (actually, they jump out of 7547 to 8003, and I want to use 7737), my list is sorted by name.

  The only thing I think that may be the problem, it is that they have a transparent white value and everything else didn't maybe if it's in a different shade?

  Thanks for your help

  @Leicon, what version of AI do you use. This query, I can assume that you are using CS5/CS5.1 because you can easily find the 7737 Pantone + libraries in the CS6. Extract the contents of the Pantone Plus file on your hard drive following location to use the samples you want:

  For windows:

  C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS5\Presets\en_US\Swatches\Color Books\

  For Mac:

  / Applications/Adobe Illustrator CS5/Presets/en_US/color chart/color books.

• After you have installed the latest Pantone color library in photoshop, some colors are inaccessible

  I try to refer to a specific Pantone color in Photoshop. I want to use the color library browser, so that I can easily get an overview of my chosen color variants. The color, I'm working with is not available in the original Pantone Coated color book provided with my version of Photoshop. So I downloaded and installed the Pantone color Manager and checked the color I want IS identified in the book lying in the Pantone color Manager. Great! I saved the book of color as a .acb file and installed in Photoshop. But I can not yet select some colors. They exist in Pantone color Manager, but they are not searchable from within Photoshop. Very strange!

  Here are the steps I followed to bring the book of the color in Photoshop:

  1. launch Pantone Color Manager

  2. Select the formula Guide - coated color book

  3. perform a search for "2128" and ensure that color exists.

  4. choose Save as... and save the file with a .acb (Adobe color book) file. I named it "PANTONE + Solid Coated - V3.acb.

  5. exit Photoshop

  6 copy the book of color in books color file in Photoshop (/ Applications / Adobe Photoshop CC 2015/Presets/color books).

  7. start Photoshop.

  8. open the color picker and click the button "color libraries".

  9. choose my new book of color in the menu ("PANTONE + Solid Coated-V3')

  10 type '2128': not found (Photoshop shows me 212c instead).

  I scrolled the book color in Photoshop - color isn't here!

  What I am doing wrong?

  You want to export the color book. Then it must meet 2-1-2-8 in the Photoshop color picker and I would choose Lab as the color model during export.

• New Pantone colors

  I just bought the new Pantone formula guides and there is that a wide range of colors not specced in InDesign. For example, 2441... I searched in vain, and would appreciate some help. Thanks heaps. I guess Adobe have not simply update their libraries? I didn't think the new new samples, which were however...

  Apologies - just realize that I have to use Pantone Color Manager. I have "save under" the new library there. Thank you.

• Manager of Pantone color book

  I loaded the book of color from Pantone of FHI to AI and ID for CS6 my programs, I have a mac mini

  why I can't load the same books to PS when I export them is said that they are there, but nothing shows

  According to color chart like the other two.

  I hope I understand what you want. Swatch file there and there are libraries. The latest Pantone Color Manager is 2.2.0 for Mac and is responsible to ship Pantone libraries to applications you choose as sRGB or lab space via export. You get this app from Pantone, install it on your Mac.

  It's free if you already own a Pantone swatch books.  PANTONE Color Manager Software with the integration of the library You can download it.

  To the color chart, you use Save as...

  

  For libraries, using Export

  

• where is the pantone color library

  I use Illustrator CC15 and I'll be damned if I can find a Pantone swatch library. He has everything but. It is an important tool for designers and printers. Is this all just hidden or non-existent? I googled several times with key words such as Pantone Illustrator CC libraries and you can find that old information on Illustrator CS4, CS5 and CS6. I found a site, but they wanted me to pay to download.

  Color Chart menu flight > color books > here
