How do I get a custom color profile into a PDF?

I have a client who provided a custom color profile for a CMYK file.
I worked on Photoshop CS5.1 images and made sure the profile is embedded.
I placed these Photoshop images into an Illustrator CS5.1 template and made sure the profile is embedded.
I need to create a hires PDF with the Press Quality settings from the Illustrator file.
I have been doing a Save As to PDF from Illustrator, which seems to work.
OK, that's when my troubles start.... When I go into Acrobat Pro X v10.0.0 nothing indicates my profile is there.
I even have the profile loaded into Acrobat.
The client seems to want the Paper Simulation to show their profile, but the profile does not even come up in the list when I look for it. It seems to default to RGB even though this is a CMYK file.
I messed this up once already, and I need to get it right this time.
The client is in Germany and they sound very angry when they don't get the proper files.
Help!

Problem using custom color profiles in Camera Raw

Dear Adobe Community,
I've created a custom color profile using the DNG profile editor, and I've been able to open that custom .dcp file in Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) through Adobe Bridge. However, when I apply the color profile to the same image, I do not get the same results as I get with the profile editor. When I open the "corrected" RAW file in Adobe Photoshop, the colors are the same wrong colors that I have in Bridge, am I missing something here?

Yes, you're missing something.
Camera profiles are meant to account for different spectral distribution in different light sources, which is something else than different color temperatures. You still have to make all the normal adjustments, like white balancing, to get the image right.

Custom Color Profiles

With the wonderful creation of X-Rite's Color Checker Passport and their software integration with Lightroom, I find myself creating profiles for lots of different lighting scenarios. I would really like the ability to delineate between a "global" color profile such as the Adobe Standard or "built-in" ones that come with Lightroom, and a "local" profile. "Local" profiles would have all of the same metadata as the global ones, but would reside or be associated with a particular folder (which I associate with a client *job*).
When viewing that particular LR folder or *Job*, the local profiles associated with that folder would be shown in the custom color profile drop-down combo box. This would keep the color profile drop-down box from being polluted by many color profiles that get created (in my case) daily.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE add this ability!

Hey WIll,
Yeah, that's a pretty great idea.

Are my custom color profiles invisible?

Two questions:
1. I have .icc profiles that I'd like to access through the finder for management purposes (toss some). If I open ColorSync I can find the profiles and see the string to said profiles, but when I navigate the string through the Finder, my profiles aren't there. Why are they invisible and can I/how do I reveal them?
Secondly and more importantly, I want to make sure my epson pro3800 is printing with the custom profile I made. I can choose it in Photoshop from a looong list (no problem) but when I'm trying to print from another app, I can't be sure it's using that driver. Again, I went to colorsync, selected 'Devices' and chose the profile that had the blue dot next to it (indicating that it was the active profile). The custom profile I wanted was not listed, but I was able to choose 'Other' and navigate to it. (my custom profiles show up in Colorsync). Great! I thought. But when I chose my custom profile, it remained hidden in the device's (pro 3800) profile list. The blue dot does not show up next to any profile now, but I assume it is being used... I can tell by clicking on the old profile and looking at the string.
So how do I get my custom profiles to show up under my pro3800's list of usable icc's??? And how do I find/manage them from the desktop (Finder)?

+If these aren't in /Library sub folders they could be in /Users/yourname/Library sub folder (depends if they were installed for a single user or all users)+
SHAZAM!! You solved it for me. When you told me to check the directories before, I was already in Users/yourname/etc. I didn't realize there was another Library at the System level. The profiles were there, glaring at me like they'd been there the whole time. Imagine that.
All the subfolders you mentioned were in there respective places too.
But that brings up another question... One always leads to another, right?
Why do I have three 'Library' folders that all have Colorsync folders with different profiles in them???
I've got one at StartUpDrive/Library/subfolders
another at StartUpDrive/System/Library/subfolders
and a third at StartUpDrive/username/Library, though this one hasn't been modified since 2004. Can I delete it?
Thanks a ton

Hi Edge community, How can I set a custom colors

Hi Edge community,
How can I set a custom colors & font size
to the Adobe Edge Animate CC 2014
work space (stage, time lone, tools, etc...)
to get something close to this?
http://www.vrmall.eu/vr/EDGE_WORKSPACE_BLACK_n_WHITE/EDGE_WORKSPACE_BLACK_n_WHITE_r.01.jpg
Thanks a lot for Your time and help.

Hi Robyn_cpl,
thanks for the useful link - based on this I decided to
purchase the PDF of Adobe Edge Animate: The Missing Manual
by Chris Grover. Good book indeed, work space panels resizing
and docking are covered, but there is nothing on colors&fonts...
I've been searching intro's, tut's, forums on Edge, but no hint
on this... But I keep searching You Tube, Google, etc...
I'm intended to submit the subject to Adobe Edge Support.
Thanks again for Your attention

Can't delete custom color profile

I created a custom color profile and now it won't let me delete it, the delete option is grayed out. I have looked in the colorsync profile folder and it isn't there either. Does anyone know how to delete it?
Message was edited by: Chad3405

Chad,
Open your Color Sync Utility, and find the profile in question. Once highlighted, it will show the path for that profile under "Profile Information:". Follow that path, and you can delete it from there, though it will probably ask for an administrator password. That should be it.
Hope this helps,
Jeff

How do I get decent Customer Service?

How do I get decent Customer Service? I've spent over two hours on the phone and online trying to find out basic questions about Workspaces. India is simply not trained well enough to understand let alone answer basic questions, such as:
What size limits are there on quantity of documents, total storaga capacity, folder sizes etc
Is there a limitation on the number of users who can be sharing workspaces, collaborating on documents
Can access limitations other than Administrator / non-Administrator be set on Workspaces
Is there a time limit on how long a document remains in storage
Is there a file type limit - i.e. only office and pdf documents can be stored
What is the pricing for a plan that would include everything we need; FormsCentral, SendNow, Workspaces, Adobe Pro etc.
Thank you

Hello,
Please understand that Workspaces is a free service; Adobe doesn't charge for it. As a result, it is not possible to provide 1:1 support. But I will try to answer your questions:
What size limits are there on quantity of documents, total storaga capacity, folder sizes etc -- No limit on number of documents uploaded or folder sizes, but the overall size limit for an account is 5 GB.
Is there a limitation on the number of users who can be sharing workspaces, collaborating on documents -- no limit.
Can access limitations other than Administrator / non-Administrator be set on Workspaces -- no, these are the only roles.
Is there a time limit on how long a document remains in storage -- no
Is there a file type limit - i.e. only office and pdf documents can be stored -- You cannot upload and share the following file types: audio formats (MP3, AAC, OGG), video formats (MOV, WMV, FLV, XVID, DIVX, RETG), font formats (TTF, DFONT, OTF), archive formats (TGZ, RAR 7Z, SIT, JAR, WAR, CAB), system files and executable formats (EXE, DLL, JS, VB, BAT, CMD, COM, CPL, SH, CSH, TCSH, KSH, BASH, ZSH, INF, HTA, HLP, INS, ISP, VB, JSE, LNK, MS, PIF, SCR, SHS, WS), web files (CHM, CRT), database files (MDB), or raster image files (PCD, SCT).
What is the pricing for a plan that would include everything we need; FormsCentral, SendNow, Workspaces, Adobe Pro etc. -- Take a look at Adobe Acrobat Plus (https://www.acrobat.com/acrobatplus/en/home.html). It doesn't include SendNow ($19.95/yr) or Workspaces (free) but does include a few other services/tools as well as Acrobat Pro.

Interesting. Comes with? you didn't have either before? Paragon is commercial and is now v. 10.0, they were the only one keeping updated and was supporting 10.7.4. I would not enable more than one.
For writing to HFS Paragon has theirs but probably give the nod to MacDrive there.
I never do an upgrade to a new OS over the old system, I backup (clone) and format the drive with the new OS and do the install so whatever is there I know is clean and also to keep from carrying around leftovers from years and systems past.
I would assme Paragon is limited. Try their site and knowledge base?

How do I delete a display color profile?

How do I delete a display color profile? I created several over time when calibrating monitor with a Datacolor Spyder. I have not been able to delete any old profiles because the "Delete Profile" button is grayed out and not responding. I repaired permissions but that didn't help.

Shared Profiles are located in the following folder:
/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/Displays/
From the finder menu bar, Go... > Go to Folder > /Library/ColorSync/Profiles/Displays/

Where does Photoshop CS5 pull custom color profiles from?

Photoshop CS5 is not seeing my new custom color profiles for my scanner when i try to "Assign profile" or "Convert profile". it sees my old profiles that I used in CS4. i have made sure to copy the profiles the following directories:
/System/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/
/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/
myuseraccount/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/
where else does CS5 pull color profiles from? By the way, those old color profiles DO NOT exist in the above directories. your help is greatly appreciated.
I am running Photoshop CS5 12.0.1 x32 on mac os x 10.6.4.

…do you know of anyway to reconcile these names because Apple does not.
In all honesty, I've never had occasion to think about any such "reconciliation". I've never re-named a profile's file name in the Finder, and in the few cases where I've run into a discrepancy there, I just make it a point to remember the internal name and forget about the other one.

Custom color profiles not showing as available in InDesign CC

This is a college graphic design lab environment with iMacs running 10.9.4 and the CC versions of Adobe programs
We have a variety of custom color profiles for our specific printers and media. They're located in a special folder and an alias of that folder is located in /Library/Colorsync/profiles. The profiles in that folder do not show up as available for selection in InDesign CC. They did before the upgrade to the CC version. They do show up in Photoshop CC, Lightroom 5 and Illustrator CC. Is this a known InDesign flaw? Any ideas for a fix... preferably one that doesn't involve moving the profiles?
Thanks

I had the same issue when playing with my Xerox Phaser 6110 profiled with colormunki. All software except Aperture (3.0.3) recognized the profile (Color Sync, Print dialog, Preview soft-proffing, even LR 3b2). I too tried all possible locations and none worked.
Then I opened the profile in ColorSync, and edited (Profiles -> Xerox... -> Open ->'desc' tag) Ascii and unicode descriptions to read aaa.icc and did a Save As aaa.icc and there it was, available in Aperture, too.
To my great disappointment the soft-proof feature in Aperture seems to be broken for some monitor/printer profile combinations, and is compatibly broken for printing from Aperture. What happens is the resulting image is way too degraded, even beyond the (admittedly crappy) photo printing capabilities of this printer.
IOW printing the same JPG via Preview and/or soft-proofing with the printer's profile yields way more consistent results. Totally unacceptable for a €200 piece of software.

Thank you.

i'm not sure if it's what you 're looking for but it worked for me:
GraphicsEnvironment ge = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
GraphicsDevice[] gs = ge.getScreenDevices();
for(int i=0;i<gs.length;i++){ //length is 1 (= i have only one screen? )
GraphicsDevice g=gs[ i ];
int nBits=g.getDisplayMode().getBitDepth(); //method getDisplayMode() only in jdk1.4 , i think
System.out.println( nBits+"");
output is 32 if i set my screen color to 32bits, 24 if...24, ...
