The CMYK values for the PMS colors in file are spread in final PDF.

Customer provides us with a photoshop PDF, in which CMYK for a PMS color values are spread (in the case of PMS 633). Client creates files in indesign, save to PDF and then open the PDF Id file in photoshop and re - save as a photoshop PDF.

Somehow, the color values are getting biased; 96 6/10/29/77.64/27.3/17.41/0, obviously enough to change the appearance of the color and the client refuses the job.

Any suggestions?

And Yes, I have noted the measures they take are not recommended, but I have no reason as to why.

Values of PMS in InDesign are not actually stored as LAB, CMYK values. If the creation of PDF from InDesign and forcing in the process and all tasks the process CMYK, then you get the CMYK values depend on the color space designated for PDF output. Then you have a similar question rasterize PDF file in Photoshop. The CMYK values may change depending on the involved color spaces.

In both cases, as described in Bob, this is a strongly discouraged workflow. Frankly, you perform additional measures that I guaranteed to degrade the quality and are a source of multiple, probably unexpected CMYK color conversions => C am 'Y' K'.   Ugghh!

And Yes, we highly recommend the PDF/X-4 without any conversion of color directly exported from InDesign.

And finally, to use spot colors for print streams where it didn't intend to use additional pigments is just looking for trouble. You can use the definitions of Pantone colors, but at least use the Pantone Process definitions, not spot colors in color!

  • Rearrange the PMS colors in PS6

    This change makes me crazy, completely unnessasary and added so much confusion. Is there a way I can get my PMS color arranged as they were in previous versions of PS or at least add a search as bar HAVE to?

    There is no search bar in Photoshop, it's always on. Try to type a number, and your selection should move forward. In the example below I typed 172.

  • Pantone value for custom spot colors

    Hello

    I'm working on a project package that was created by another agency and was picked by my agency for future prints/changes.  I am trying to label all the PMS values used in the work of the printer; However, I came across one called color, "SILVER COUNCIL KNOCKOUT".  On the original final design, it's a bright silver strip where the name of the hair dye. I assumed that this grade has been created by the previous Agency.


    My question is how to find the value of that color PANTONE (if possible), OR whether it would be best to choose another color of PMS equivalent? I work in Illustrator CS6 on an iMac.

    Thank you in advance!

    Hello

    Source of these files?

    The green color for the file names indicates that the files have been encrypted.

  • Location of the bookmarks on an old hardrive that is not Windows, running but the old hard disk files are accessed through another hard drive.

    The old hard disk does not run Windows, so access to the usual file through Windows Explorer or Firefox has not worked for me. The old hard drive is now a slave drive and all files are intact and accessible via the new Windows 7 64-bit operating system.

    You have Windows configured to display the hidden files and folders? If not, do it as soon as the first. http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/show-hidden-files#show-hidden-files=Windows-7

    Then, what version of Windows do you have on the old drive? Your profile folder must be on the way there:

    Windows XP and earlier versions:

    \Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
    

    Windows Vista and later:

    \Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
    

    If you find multiple profile folders, see the recent order. You find a subfolder named bookmarkbackups. This article describes how to restore the .json files, you will find: restore bookmarks from a backup or move them to another computer.

  • FDM 11.1.2 logfiles of the Outbox when source files are imported

    Hi all

    In the FDM Outbox folder contains log files (* .err) that are created when the source files are imported.
    The log file must contain rows of data that did not import of FDM and an explanation of each line has not imported whey.
    But in my log file contains only the first line of the error, when I fix the line that was wrong and rerun the process.
    appears the next Member that does not exist.
    I want to appear the first time, all members decreased from hyperion planning in my log file.

    Anyone has an idea on what I need to do?

    Thanks in advance!

    This is because when you use the standard FDM support i.e. load the API in action script it records all errors (improvement needed). The easiest way to get what you want is the option enable the setting of load chain and use a rule of load to load the data instead of using the load of the API. When you use a rule to load your file errors contains all errors associated with the charge.

    Hi toad133,

    ·         What type of backup that you talk too much?

    If you are referring to the automatic backup there backup everything that you have selected or defined to be backed up.

    If you are referring to the manual backup backs up what settings or files that you select to backup such as emails or files.
