How do I add Pantone Color Books to Illustrator CC?

I'm used to using the Pantone Process color book in illustrator, but it's missing from my Illustrator CC. How can I add it? I had it at work, so I assume it is a standard color book, because my work never paid for anything extra. I see I have a Pantone+ CMYK Coated color book, but the names of the swatches are different from Pantone Solid to Process color book I'm used to.

oh. then you are requesting for the old pantone books?
here you go
Dropbox - pantones.zip
let me know when you've got it because i'd like to delete it.

Pantone color book for Illustrator 6

Where can I find updated color books for Illustrator to use the latest Pantone colors?
Eg. I do not find Solid Coated 2028 in my recent installation
Thanks in advance

Ask in the AI forum. Certain Pantone colors have changed over the years and this may be such a case where it appears under a different number...

Illustrator CS4, new Pantone color books, color channel issue

Since I installed the new Pantone color books, I've been running in a major issue which will affect our whole production line.
If an Illustrator CS4 file contains a Photoshop CS4 image which is using an "old" Pantone color in a color channel, it cannot be opened and I get an error message "File is unreadable". If I replace the "old" Pantone colour with its new equivalent in the color channel in Photoshop, the file can be opened normally.
In our work environment, this means going through all our images to check which one is using a color channel. A painful and time wasting procedure. Furthermore, if one of our suppliers doesn't have the new color books, they won't be able to open any of the files, both Photoshop and Illustrator, so they have no way to revert back to the old Pantone.
Is there another way to fix this?
Thank you

More on the Pantone PLUS saga, hoping to get some input from the users of this forum. I find their silence deafening, to say the least. This is a serious issue, that will cost our agency hours and hours of work if it isn't addressed. And we've already wasted hours of troubleshooting and discussions on how we could resolve it.
We're actually testing a workaround: using both the old and the new libraries in Illustrator. After consulting our suppliers, we've learned that this is what they also do. For them, it's a one shot to get the file to print. For us, it means cheating with files that will get edited again in the future. And the Pantone installer removes the old Pantone books from the Adobe folders for a reason which is mentioned on the download page:
The reason that the PANTONE Color Libraries that had been built into Illustrator need to be removed and replaced with the PANTONE PLUS Color Libraries is that, in Illustrator, a PANTONE Color can only have one data point with which it is associated. In the short term, in order to benefit from the new colors and data associated in PLUS, the PANTONE Libraries that are installed with Adobe Illustrator are removed and replaced with the new PLUS Libraries.

I worry this may lead to another bunch of issue, knowing how easily AI files get corrupted. What I need to know is:
What is the exact meaning of the Pantone warning about the "one data point per color?
What are the long term implications of using both Pantone libraries in an Adobe file? Or in the Adobe app?

Illustrator CS6 / CC and previous Pantone color books

Hi all, I've understood that Illustrator CS6 / CC has the new Pantone+ color books, those color books doesn't have CMYK values so the default of rIllustrator CS6 / CC is to use the Lab values when I add a Pantone swatches to my document. One of my customers, that is a print industry, need to have the old Pantone with CMYK values to maintain the same color rendition on old and continuative jobs. Adobe says that I can load the old Pantone color books from CS5 and change the swatches option so that Illustrator use the CMYK values: http://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/pantone-plus.html The problem is that this doesn't work for me and for my customer, even if I change the swatches option Illustrator continue to load only the Lab values from the older CS5 Pantone color books... anyone of you has a solution?

I am running into the same issue. Both links suggested did not work for me. In a document I created in CS4 (the old document) and opened in CC there is a square with the color Pantone 519U in which it converts to C:67% M:100% Y:30% K:10%. These are the numbers to be expected. If I copy the square that is 519U in the old document and paste it in the same old document the color remains the same.
I create a new document in CC (the new document). From the old document I copy the Pantone 519U square and paste it in the new document. The resulting square in the new document is a washed out purple. The new document square converts to C:57.27% M:68.83% Y:35.06% K:13.06%.
Again I followed Workaround 1 in the link. I obtained the old Pantone Libraries from my CS4 machine so it is not a library issue. I have also created a new Document Profile where I set the Spot Color to be "Use CMYK values from the manufacturer's process books". I am seeing the same problem before and after the workaround.

Indesign CS4 Pantone color book, Solid Coated giving the wrong color

I am trying to add a Panton color to my swatches panel. Under Swatches I am selecting "New Color Swatch -> Color Type: Spot ->Color Mode: Solid Coated". What happens next is get a box where I can type the Pantone number I would like ... to the left of this box it reads "Pantone DS". So all of the color choices I might make are not for "Solid Coated" but rather for "DS". I have no idea what "DS" is and it is not what I selected. I selected "Solid Coated". Once again, I am using Indesign CS4 on a Mac Pro ... still running OS 10.4. Can someone please assist me?
Thank you in advance.

Thank you for your response. I have checked the pulldown menu several times. I have checked again as of reading your response. It seems that no matter what Pantone choice I select under the Color mode I get your second window that you posted. On top of that, I have captured the window that comes up when I initially start the add new color swatch .... it looks like this ....
Please notice that the Pantone DS is already beside where you would key in the Pantone number, even though the color mode I am in is CMYK. This does not change when I switch to Spot as shown below.
So I do not believe there is something flawed about my method. It seems as if the Pantone Color Book information is missing for everything else other than the Process Coated.

How do I add PMS colors to swatches pallette

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to add PMS colors to the swatches pallette? I'm running Win2000. Illustrator 10.
Thanks.

Terri Jo,
First off, each document has its own Swatches palette (also its own Symbol, Brush and Styles palettes.) So when you say "the" Swatches palette, it is not clear whether you are asking how to add Pantone colors to the Swatches palette belonging to the current document, or whether you are asking how to add Pantone colors to the Swatches palette that gets installed in new blank documents.
To do the former, you just open one of the Pantone Swatch libraries (from the Window menu), have a document open, and click on any Pantone swatch that you want to add to the Swatches palette of the current top open document. To add multiple swatches you can also shift-click to select a range of them, then use the Add to Swatches command on the library's palette menu.
To do the latter, you open as a regular document the Adobe Illustrator Startup_CMYK or Startup_RGB documents located in the Plug-ins folder. Then you do the same steps as above to copy swatches from the Pantone libraries to the startup document's Swatches palette. Then you save the startup document, and restart Illustrator.
The contents of all the palettes in the startup documents are copied into any new blank document that you create for that color mode. Since palette contents take up room in each file, just like regular art does, as long as you have the startup document open for editing you may want to take the opportunity to make your new files smaller, by removing from your startup documents any brushes, symbols or patterns that you never expect to use.
And finally, if what you want to do is set up a swatch library palette that contains your favorite Pantone colors, and which is available for
all documents, whether new blank ones or existing documents that were created earlier by yourself or even sent to you by someone else, what you should do is make a new blank document, install your favorite Pantone colors into it, and save that document with a name of your choice (like "Favorite PMS colors") in the Presets/Swatches folder. Then quit Illustrator, restart, open that document from the Swatch Libraries menu, and check the Persistent option in the library's palette menu. The Persistent option means that the library gets automatically loaded when you startup Illustrator. (Any random .ai document saved anywhere can be loaded as a library palette using the Other Library... command, but only documents that were located in the appropriate Presets folder when Illustrator was started will appear on the pullout menu and have a Persistent checkbox.)

How Can I add a color profile to OS X 10.8.4?

How Can I add a color profile to OS X 10.8.4?
I've tried to locate the color profile folder but it's not availble.

Hello gipseyeyes,
It sounds like you're trying to add a ColorSync Profile to your Mac. I found a few resources that may help.
First, I recommend reviewing the following article:
Mac OS X: How to Create a ColorSync Profile Used By Every Account
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA22329
The note in step 6 from that article is particularly useful for your situation:
Note: You may need to make some of these folders if they do not exist.
Also, the user Library in Mountain Lion is hidden, so you will need to follow these steps to get to "~/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/":
OS X Mountain Lion: What is the Library folder?
The Library folder contains files used by OS X and your apps, including your personal fonts and preferences. The Library folder is hidden. If you need to open it, make sure you are in the Finder, hold down the Option key, and then choose Go > Library.
You can find the full article here:

How do I add selective color to black and white photo?

New to Photoshop Elements 12. How do I add selective color to a black and white photo?

The easiest way is to use the Smart Brush tool in Expert tab.
On the tool's option bar, in the drop-down select "Revers Effects", then select the "Reverse" option. Be sure that "Inverse" is ticked.
Paint over the object that is to retain color, the rest will become b/w.

I need aiCS5 pantone color books. Where can I download?

Hello
I have searched high and low and cannot find a link to download previous pantone color books before Adobe "brilliantly" decided to mess with everyone by only having the pantone+ books. Which have no use for me now as I still have clients that refer to the older books.
i need them now. Specifically the Process Coated and Uncoated Pantone books.
I am incredibly annoyed by this STUPID DECISION ADOBE MADE!
Regards

Okay. I fixed it.
Reason why I asked is because in that thread, it gave the workaround links, which was useless without the color books themselves.
After calling up on buddies, I found someone with Cs5 and got the books from him and added to my library and BOOM it was fixed. That is what I was asking.
Thanks. I solved this one for me.

Color Books in Illustrator CS6 (Creative Cloud)

I have recently purchased a MacBook Pro and I am using Creative Cloud to download my programs. I have downloaded Illustrator CS6, and I am trying to replace the new Pantone + color books with the older versions. I have done this in the past on Windows with no issues.
On my Mac I can not find the new document profiles folder so I can change the spot color. I go into the Adobe folder and there is no Illustrator folder in there. Does anyone know where it would be, or why it is not in there?
Mac OS: [user]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Illustrator CS6/[lang]/New Document Profiles
Also open to any other workarounds for getting the old color books. I need all of the old color books, not just a few swatches, so workaround 2 in this document below will not help me.
Document I have been using - http://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/pantone-plus.html
Thanks in Advance! Hopefully someone will have a solution for me :-(

The path for the New Document Profiles should be Mac HD/Users/<yourname>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Illustrator CSX/en_US/ which is a hidden folder in OS10.7 and later. Do a Google search for how to access this folder. The Pantone color books go in Mac HD/Applications/Adobe Illustrator CSX/Presets/Swatches/Color Books.

Can I replace Pantone color books in InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop?

These new Pantone + books are a pain in ...well... you understand. In my years as a designer, I have just clicked on the correct book and color swatch, but now...
I am using Windows 7 and the CS6 suite of products. We have a company logo in which both main colors have dramatically changed with the new books. I won't go into all of the tricks we've tried to be able to place it in new documents without the color changing. I now think the only answer is to replace the color books as Adobe recommends. I do have two questions, though.
First, can I change the books in all of my products? Adobe only gives instructions for Illustrator and InDesign, but I regularly have to change vendor logos into our company colors in photoshop, and I am finding the color in Photoshop isn't the same when I bring that logo into Illustrator, even though they have the same number.
Second, what are the end results if I do change the books when I send a document to a printer? We usually do our printing in-house, so I am wondering when we buy PMS 2955 if it will be what I see in the old books or the new books. And what will an out-of-house printer be using?
My main two concerns are (1) seeing the correct color on screen and (2) printing the correct color. I don't really care how I get there, but I'd like it to be a permanent fix so I don't have to go in and manipulate swatches every time I add a logo to an item.
Thanks for any help!
BTW - haven't been to this new forum format and don't know if I am posting this in the right place. If not, please help me find the correct location. Thanks!

HI this is good. But i have already seen this.
Its very informative but somehow i felt it lacks the punch and fun factor in a video. I need something which captivates and entrances the audience, not a speech kind of a thing.
Anything else??

That depends on the Book Theme you are using.
Some themes only allow to select between black and white backgrounds, some offer a color palette.
Click the "fan" icon in the "edit" palette. For example, the "Formal" theme:

Right-click on each desired (separate) contact, and select "Add to Address Book."
Then make a calendar Group, name it Hockey, and individually drag those new contacts to the Soccer Group.
