• Preserve spot colors when you import the InDesign file into another InDesign file

  Work in InDesign CC.

  I often import InDesign files into other InDesign files and find it very useful for my workflow. Often it is a file that acts like a piece of the library that is used in the other files and I love being able to just change it and automatically update the other files.

  However I just came up with a work that is CMYK + spot and spot colors are not preserved import - they seem to import as CMYK. Can I export a PDF file and do it this way, but I prefer to skip the intermediate step.

  Any advice?

  Have you checked? It really looks like that process tasks is enabled in the file of reception, but I expect that to affect the PDF as well.

  I tested on CS6 and it works correctly, but I have on thei smachine CC, and no time this morning to start it, then maybe someone else will test for you to see if they get the same results.

• Need help with spot colors PMS Pantone

  I'm building a document in Illustrator CS6 using CMYK color. I need to add, and in some cases, substitute and identify the correct most closely matched PMS Pantone spot colors but don't see even the PMS library represented in Illustrator. Can anyone help me find Pantone swatches, or is it an add-on for the program Illustrator?

  Thank you

• Conversion of a spot color to a color to an RGB document?

  How can I take a spot color in the Pantone swatch library and convert it for use in an RGB document? Thank you.

  Kat,

  You can:

  1) click on the swatches Pantone or a path to which it is applied;

  (2) switch to RGB (for RGB, CMYK to CMYK) in the palette color/Panel, and;

  (3) click on new swatch in the Swatches palette/Panel dialog box, see the Type of color says color, give it its name (and make Global, as appropriate), and then press OK.

  With it, you will have the corresponding RGB (closest match) color as a sample.

• What is the difference between the PANTONE and spot colors

  I need help understanding a concept. In Illustrator, when I double click a nuance I get shade options. In this example, let's say it's one of the default witnesses. When I change the type of color in "Tones" and click OK, I've created a spot color, Yes? Nuance now has the white border with the triangle in the corner indicating. When I send to a printer they tell me that they need a pantone. I was under the impression that a printer would ink custom of my place and that would be printed as a color. Isn't this true? If spot colors must be Pantone, why the color type drop-down open PANTONE books?

  Can someone please explain what a spot color in Illustrator?

  Thank you

  You cannot arbitrarily mix most of the inks in the real world, and so any custom mix formula is mostly meaningless. It is largely the point here.

  (a) it is much easier for main stores order just the premixed colors

  (b) if they mix custom colors, they still need to use specific base inks which are not only CMYK, since there is no way to obtain certain colors in other

  (c) only using correct formulae can ensure the appropriate density / saturation / brightness

  (d) you need to check against a reference color book / strip

  (e) simple chemical and physical factors prevent some mixes of color work

  This might be explained away constantly, but suffice it to say that, in all my years, I have not met a single printing could have mixed colors custom outside Pantone or here in Germany HKS and other systems. Not to say that it is impossible for some colors, but nobody does anymore.

• using transparency multiply with spot colors

  Does anyone know if spot colors can be used with transparency are multiplying in illustrator CC. I want to create a third color of pieces that overlap / two forms of spot color printing?

  Not agree with John, you just have to watch you preview separations to get your answer. Here the 7691 dark blue gradient is on multiply on 7688 blue light, so we get more degraded rich e, rather than the color is dull where the 2 colors meet.

• Cannot delete unused spot colors.

  I can't delete some nuances of unused spot colors in Illustrator. I can also convert them to CMYK process. When I try to remove the color, the trash is grayed out.

  You have all placed files or raster files, which could use the tones? What happens if you try to select all unused from the Swatch Panel flyout?

• 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.

• If an illustrator file has links with spot colors, how can I create PDF files with process colors?

  My file has shades of tones that came with the linked logo, I could not find a way to convert those shades of colors quadri.

  I need to send PDF on a printer with only process colors, I know that the printer can choose to convert spot colors to process when printing with printer within Acrobat Panel, but since we do not print, we need to send files to print ready with process colors only.

  Is there a way or a script to make PDF file generated from Illustrator with process colors only?

  You could try object > flatten transparency and clear colors to preserve overprints and Spot.

  I set the preset high resolution and turn on the preview to see if something dramatic is going to happen.

  After that, you can check the file of color dot in the separations Preview Panel.

• Acrobat DC does not display of spot colors

  Mac OS 10.10

  I have an InDesign CS5 document with a spot color background.

  When I export to PDF (PDF/X1a) and open the file in Acrobat DC, there is no background color (preview separations shows there is a spot color in the document, but does not display all of the ink of that color)

  If I open the PDF in Acrobat 9 or X, the background color is displayed correctly.

  Is there a setting in Acrobat DC I don't know? Do I have to use a different export setting (I tried several unsuccessful).

  Thank you!

  Please go through the next forum thread and see if that fixes the problem.

• How can I get a CMYK or Gray scale halftone and replace it with a spot color with the same value of midtones?

  Is it possible that I can select an object or objects that have a value of mixed CMYK or Grayscale, and then select a Spot color and it will keep the same value of midtones as before?

  For example, I have an object that is C: 0 M: 0 Y: 0 k: 20 and I select Reflex Blue. What is happening is it change my object to 100% Reflex Blue. Is there a way to change to automaitically Reflex Blue 20%?

  Another example, I have 3 objects, one is 20 k: the second is 40 k: and the third is KC: 85. I want to select all the objects in three at the same time, select Yellow PANTONE and get them to change yellow PANTONE 20, 40 yellow PANTONE and PANTONE yellow 85.

  Is there a way to do it or I will always have to manually edit each element?

  Thanks for the help.

  I love clicking this button under the entitlement, one place for everything that you color reduction settings.

  

  Use tinted scale. Exact will give you 100% of the color. The exact word is confusing here, this means that the color of the destination (100% of everything that the color you choose), not a version tinged scale.

  

  Unfortunately I do not know how to get the exact values of blacks to convert the exact values of spot color. Scale of hues will you get you get you close enough for what you need. In my example that a black 89% converts a 84% of the place, so no exact but alteast I have a range of shades, and sometimes the results are better than accurate, depends on your art.

  Here are my before and after.

  

• Opacity value of value of hue change spot color

  Does anyone know a script to change all spot color objects that have an opacity value of the corresponding value of the color of the spot color? Could also be to treat the colors, global or not - but the key is to work.

  
  

  If an object uses a spot color that is to say 13% opacity, then it must be on opacity 100% and the value of 13% spot color tint. If an object has been 75% opacity, then it must be set to the hue of 75% to 100% opacity etc. Throughout the tonal range for all objects.

  
  

  It would be nice if the blending mode of the spot color has been set to normal if it was something else (obscure, product etc.). I guess it would be great if there was an option to set the object for a collection if the blending mode used was darken or multiply, but this is the icing on the cake. Essence is the opacity value of spot object of the value of spot color mapping and setting the opacity to 100%.
  

  
  

  I would have thought it would be a problem quite common in packaging prepress, however I had no success in the search for such a script.

  Here's a more complete script.

• How to make a library theme colors in shades?

  I'm learning to use color.adobe.com. I know that the "Download" button has disappeared, so I can't download an ASE file.

  I can get a color theme of Kuler in my library, which is not the issue.

  What I don't understand how to get those colors in the swatch Panel. I could use a 3rd-party color picker app, but then, why even bother with Kuler and libraries if I choose a colors and their names in the swatches Panel, one by one? It seems that should be an easy way to directly transfer the library theme colors in the swatches Panel, but it's not obvious to me.

  When you're in your Office Adobe software - as long you have sync would be with the creative cloud - your swatches of color should be in the option menu libraries in the sub-category of the "color Themes".

  

  Once you read those, you can select the individual color just by clicking on each of them. And if you want to add to your color chart, you select just each color you want to add from your color themes and then click the 'New' button in the menu color chart to add.

  

  Hope that helps!
