• Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro is showing CMYK spot color document

  Hello

  I created a PDF using Adobe Illustrator CS4, and even if I'm only using 2 tones, times, Illustrator and Acrobat are CMYK plates in the preview separations and preview the output. When I turn off the Spot plates, there is nothing in the document. Could you please help me understand why is this happenning?

  Thank you

  Acrobat always shows CMYK framework - even if there is no CMYK in there. You will notice also that if the file content RGB, CalRVB, LAB etc - it shows also in the output as CMYK preview since it is in simulation mode (enough for now)!

  You can use SHOW preview of the output or even to use a profile of preflight to double check...

  See you soon,.

• Find the spot colors in the document

  I prepare a document for printing, and when I go to the package for output I get a message that there are a handful of spot colors in addition to the CMYK. Is it possible I can get InDesign to show me where in my document these tones are? (There are many graphics placed in many pages) I can't seem to find a 'show' or 'page number' for these colors. In addition, if the CMYK symbol appears to the right of the point of color in the Panel swatched, am I good as went to press?

  Maybe the satest to see where the spot colors are in use is to open the Activ separations and separations Preview Panel, and then click the eyeball next to CMYK. Everything left on the page is your direct. If you do not see a spot color in the Panel, there are none in use.

  You asked if it was safe to go to print with stains, and the answer is that it depends. Are paying you extra for the spot colors? If this isn't the case, Swatches Panel flyout menu choose Manager of inks, then check the box to convert all Spots to process and for the best conversion to any known color space, check the box to use the Lab values as well. Don't know what you mean by seeing the CMYK symbol to the right of the swatch - which means that it is not RGB, but there are two small icons there and the one on the left will tell you if the color is spot on, but neither one will tell you if it is transposed to the process in the ink Manager.

• 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.

• 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!

• 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.

• Library spot colors?

  Hello

  When you use the libraries in Illustrator CC 2014 (version 1.1) Panel, whenever I click on 'Add the fill color' when using a spot for example color Pantone 2756C appears in the color library 60 # 262 and, when used in a document is converted in the process (C - 100_ %, M-92.77%, Y - 32_ %, K-17.15%).

  Is it possible to keep it as a spot color when adding to the CC library?

  Any help would be appreciated.

  

  Thank you

  Currently, no tones are working in the library.

  I use Recolor work because I can't merge into K. The art comes our customers K so we cannot conceive just differently.

  Edit: for clairification. The rectangles on the right are tones of k and k. Rectangles on the left are results after its conversion to a spot color with illustrations to redefine colors. I'm honestly not married to the idea of using Recolor art. I just need a way to move with precision k tones to a place.

• 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.

• How can I remove spot colors in color?

  I'm still working on editing a document that I did not create. It must be CMYK, but I keep getting error messages when I save what there is a spot color. I saw a spot color in the swatches (at least I think remember what that means the little point in the corner) and I double clicked on it and changed to CMYK. And I chose the only element that seems to have this color and I changed it to the CMYK version. But the nuance always has the corner and I still get the error message when I save.

  What Miss me?

  You must change both of them to remove the point.

  

• Choice of spot color definitions

  How can I make my choice of definitions of persistent tones? I read a kb article that says how to swap all the new books of color Pantone Plus for the 'old', to maintain the parity of color with older versions. One of the steps has me leaving "Tones" on the Swatches palette by selecting "use CMYK values... "instead of"use LAB values... ". ». I don't want to have to do that with all the files. Is it possible to make that choice persistent?

  When you create new documents Illustrator open instances unregistered regular Illustrator documents that are selected using the new profile Menu of the Document in the window of the new dialog box. The profiles you see in this menu are like others. Files HAVE a file that is displayed when you choose Browse... in this menu.

  Simply create a new document with your spot color definition and what you want to do when you create a new document and save to this location or use Browse... in the new menu profile Document to select and Illustrator will remember you choice until you make another choice. You can also replace or modify the files used for the profiles that came with the installation.

• 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.

  

  At the same appearance with CMYK, showing that Nothing's going to CMYK.

• 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?
