• PSD files display incorrectly in Illustrator

  Hello

  I have two files PSD will not be rendered properly in Illustrator.  If I open PSD files in Photoshop, everything seems OK, and if I print, the file looks good.  But when I place it in Illustrator, part of the image is missing, and if I print it, it does not appear on the page.  These are the only two files I've struggled with and they both come from the same undertaking.  Is there something wrong with the picture, perhaps?  Can I do about it?

  This is one of the two files.  This is what it looks like in Photoshop:

  

  And this is what it looks like in Illustrator.  Note that a large part of the picture is missing.

  

  I found the problem.  There was a marked 'Track 1' entry under the Trace Panel.  When I deleted the path, the problem disappeared.

• Lack of Pantone colors in illustrator and Indesign

  Hello
  

  
  

  I hope someone can help me with the following.

  I use adobe creative cloud every day on a mac. We are currently finishing off a re-brand of the company I work for and we have a new color scheme implemented, which also means PANTONE new colors were chosen.

  But for some reason, I can only find 2 of the 4 colors in my indesign and illustrator PANTONE color libraries. The rest do not seem to be available...

  You miss the following colors:

  PANTONE: 2347

  PANTONE: 2292

  I wonder if there is some sort of an update that I should do for my libraries of colors? and what is the best solution for these missing colors in my adobe design creative cloud account so I can start using them in the future.

  Thanks in advance!

  PANTONE provide all their colors as shades available for download on their site, more free libraries, some only in the context of their commercial software. Check out their site. While there, also read their color guides. The colors you chose may simply have been replaced / replaced by others. For what be more demand in the forums of each product.

• Find Pantone colors in Illustrator

  I have a logo that will be put on the golf shirts, and has asked the company for Pantone colors. I have changed all the colors of CMYK to Pantone in Illustrator, but I was wondering if there is a way to see a list of all the colors that are used or I have to find everything manually?

• How can I add Pantone color books Illustrator CC?

  I'm used to using the Pantone Process color book in illustrator, but is absent from my CC of Illustrator. How can I add? I got it to work, so I guess it's a book of standard color, because my work never paid for something more. I see I have a coated CMYK + Pantone color book, but the names of the witnesses differ from Pantone Solid color book process that I'm used.

  Oh. then you ask for old pantone books?

  Here you go

  There is nothing wrong in sharing libraries. Two sources:

• 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();
  }
  
  var items = workDoc.pathItems;

• fonts in the linked eps graphics display INCORRECTLY in InDesign, but display CORRECTLY in Illustrator

  Hello

  I use Creative Suite CS4 on pc.

  When I open a file, InDesign CS4, in .eps, numbers in this case, related graphics fonts
  appear as the large rectangles. If I open the source graphics Illustrator CS4 eps,
  all the numbers are displayed correctly. Resave the eps file and update the link doesn't help, nor
  export to PDF. Fonts are still displayed incorrectly in InDesign.

  The file - InDesign as well as graphics eps were originally created with CS2.
  Open the InDesign CS2 file causes the fonts showing correctly.

  Anyone know what is the cause and how to fix?

  Quite perplexed!

  You could make an action to save the .ai and run as a batch with all eps of in a given folder.

  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.

  Hi all

  I'm sure this is an old topic, but I'm pulling out my hair at this time to try to understand why a color marked as Pantone Orange 021 C poster completely differently in the two files.

  Basically, I was sent a swatch source file to work from (in the form of a PDF document with coloured boxes and their Pantone code written on them), but when I copy and paste a color into my new file or select it from the swatches Pantone, color is completely different and in-depth has different LAB and CMYK colors to the original file.

  I see that my new file displays the color as a color of paper, in which case the source PDF displays colors in CMYK... that means that my source file was made using the non-Pantone book more color?

  If so, could someone please suggest how I could copy and paste these colors in my new files using the original CMYK values? Essentially, it is important that I keep the colors in my new compatible with the source PDF file - tips on how to do this would be greatly appreciated...

  P.S. I use Illustrator CC and made sure that I work in the same evidence in place.

  Thank you very much

  

  Giles

  Yes, your source file was made with old books of color Pantone containing simulation CMYK values.

  Since the CS6 these CMYK values are no longer present in the Pantone libraries +, but Lab values are used to calculate the closest possible CMYK simulation based on your color settings.

  Lab values for this color have not changed.

  If you want to keep the old values CMYK, double click on the nuance in the swatches Panel in your old document and choose: Type color > color

• Pantone colors P?

  the window displaying the pantone colors shows just sort of Pantone colors (PANTONE ex P 32 - 8U). I need to select among "normal Pantone colors. In the "color mode" list I can choose all the different colors pantone scale, but in the end, I get just this strange Pantone P range. I have this problem only in indesign; in Illustrator, I can just pick colors from pantone, I want. HEEELP PLEASE! TIA

• 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.

• PANTONE color standard will not launch

  I have a ThinkPad W530 with color sensor and Pantone color standard. It has worked very well since I got the computer brand new for more than a year. Since last week, my color Stallion did not launch when I click on the notification "ThinkPad display must be postponed. I have the rotation icon, but it disappears after a few moments. I tried to do a restore and selected a time point before I think it happened. But the system refuses to return to this restore point, because he "can not find a file." What the? I have not deleted all files in system folders, I can't believe that one of my automatic updates has this screwed up. Of course, the message doesn't tell me what * kind * of file is missing.

  I am looking for a download and a re-installation of the program of Pantone color calibrator
  pantone_color_calibrator_setup_v1_2_0_6455.exe from this page: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS015010.

  Hoping that will work, but someone else has experienced this problem? And that he turn out to be?

  I'll report the results of the re - install and thanks for any help pother.

  For some, the sensor and calibration software is really limited in functionality.

  Check this thread here for pointers on the issue:

• How to get gradient Pantone colors?

  My customer logo has a shield with a gradient on it, and I don't know how to determine what pantone colors they are. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

  If its juice all made from random CMYK or rub generates, then you could open it in photoshop, or copy - paste in it.

  You can then use the pipette and the photoshop color picker lets you click to display the closest Pantone color match.

  its not always accurate, but it's a good start, you can then look for numbers in the book of pantone and soften it to something that seems closer, or has a substitute CMYK better / build process work.
