Pantone solid to process conversion using Adobe Illustrator CS5

Hello everyone.
I´m having a little problem converting a solid color to process using the Adobe Swatch Libraries.
I own a Pantone Color Bridge Coated and Uncoated set books and I chose the color 3262 C for a client of mine.
On the book the equivalent process color for this solid one is C 76 M 0 Y 38 K 0.
But, when I select the same solid color on Adobe Illustrator, and I ask to convert to process, the software is giving me different CMYK coordinates. The software is showing the "correct" process color equivalent to 3626 C is C 78 M 0 Y 32 K 0.
Ok, now my questions:
- Which one I should consider as the most accurate solid to process conversion? The book or the Adobe conversion?
- Maybe my Adobe Illustrator is not updated? I downloaded the digital Libraries from Pantone web site and I´m still getting this mismatch.
- Maybe the book is not updated ? I just bought the "Pantone Plus Series" this week - it´s the most update book of Pantone!).
Thanks in advance for your help!

Well, I think I found my answer. And it´s easier than I thought.
I contacted the Pantone suport and they just realize I was talking about other book.
I have the Pantone Color Bridge Books. But not the standard ones. I have the Plus Series (with the green cover). This is the most updated books from Pantone.
The Plus Series has different CMYK equivalents, because in this edition they unified the European and the North American CYMK standards.
And of course, because of that, the Adobe swatches libraries was outdated.
Then I just downloaded the new PANTONE PLUS Digital Libraries for Adobe on Pantone´s web site. Now I can pick the right color, just selecting the Pantone+ in the swatches libraries. Here is the link: http://www.pantone.com/pages/Pantone/Pantone.aspx?pg=20721 (you have to be a registered member to download it).
Now I have the same both CMYK coordinates from the book and from the Adobe conversion.
Thanks to everyone who tried to help!

Hi , I have just started using adobe illustrator cs5 and I get a warning that I do not have enough ram to complete the task. How do i solve this?

The System overview shows I have 4gb of ram but in the L2 cache 3mb are used. ??
any ideas
Thanks

Hello,
I find 4GB barely enough for the OS itself, you can upgrade to as much as 16 GB of RAM...

Missing Fonts in Adobe Illustrator CS5 Version 15.1.0 Agenda Bold and Agenda Black

Hi,
We are using Adobe Illustrator CS5 Version 15.1.0 to re-create Points of Sales (PoS) that our 3rd party company sends us. But when we open the PoS from the 3rd Party we get a message saying we are missing 2 fonts. The names of these are Agenda Bold and Agenda Black. Are these Fonts from a newer version of Illustrator or are we able to purchase/download these?
Any help would be much appreciated!!
Thanks,

These are not standard system or Adobe fonts. You will have to buy them from whatever type foundry that produces them.

Hi,
I've been using Adobe Illustrator cs5 on my iMac. I am about to purchase a new laptop (Samsung Series 5 NP535U4C-S03MY Ultrabook) and is wondering if Illustrator is able to run on that laptop. The specs are as folllows:
Processor :AMD A-Series A8-4555M Processor - 1.6GHz, 4M Smart Cache
Memory : 4GB DDR3 System Memory
Graphic : AMD Radeon HD760G + 7550M Dual Graphics with gDDR3 1GB
Please advice.

Though I'm not sure how "compatible" AMDs CPU/GPU combo chips actually are. There could be issues nobody is aware of...

Adobe illustrator CS5.1 message: operation cannot complete because there isn't enough RAM available?

These are the issues I am currently experiencing using Adobe Illustrator CS5.1 using my Mac OS X.
- I am having trouble opening two files at the same time and Illustrator continually crashes because of this.
- When I try to scale my artwork to a smaller size and add more filters the program also crashes.
- When I try to add more gallery filters to my filled shapes the entire file at one point loses all colour and only a black and white outline of my artwork is seen.
The error message saying "not enough RAM" appears after all these crashes.
I had all these issues with 4GB RAM. I have just upgraded my RAM to 8GB and I am still experiencing the same problems.
Why is this issue with RAM still happening?

These crashes only seem to happen to a particular number of files (with a lot of effects and filters).
I think the large number of filter effects are the culprit for these crashes but I need to use these effects to create intricate garment details for my designs (I'm a fashion design student). I'm trying to get an image from three seperate files into one new page but I can't open all three files simultaneously nor scale them down due to these crashes.
I might give CS6 a go!
Thank you for the advice!

Adobe Illustrator CS5 groups problem.

I work under windows xp using Adobe Illustrator CS5, and the problem is that when I group a certain objects in an illustration and save that illustration as an *.ai file, then send it to a client that uses MAC the groups are getting jumbled up. The client even sent me a screenshots, and the groups are REALLY jumbled up.
Some objects that i originally grouped together are not in the same group any more, some objects from a certain group that, somehow became part of some other group.
I build my images on one layer with several sublayers.
Can building illustrations with every single group on a separate layer solve this problem? Am I missing something? This is the first time I encounter this kind of problem. Please help.

I don't ever recall this occurring but it sounds like a corruption to me. But I do not know if is on your end or your clients end.
I use a mac and am will to open your file and send you screen shots so you can compare, if I open it fine then the problem is probably with your client?
But they might not like to here this.
You can also try sending them a pdf or a .ps file they can open the .ps file directly in AI without distilling it.

Recommended hardware configuration when using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop

Hello!
I am an Illustrator who uses Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop most of the time. Today I am using Adobe CS5.5 suite and is thinking of getting the Adobe CC. As my computer today is abit old and "tired", I am unsure about what to focus on when updating my hardware?
I am using today a HP workstation with following hardware:
Software:
Windows 7
Adobe Creative Suite CS5.5
Hardware:
Processor:              Intel i7-2600 3,4GHz
Internal memory:     8,00 GB DDR3
Disc drive:               500GB SATA disk 7200rpm
Graphics card:        NVIDIA GeForce GT 1GB
Since I work both with Technical Illustrations with loads of anchor points in Adobe Illustrator, I get sometimes error messages like "Out of memory" and such. I read about having two discs, one system disc and one work folder disc, that would solve that problem. But I am also working alot with large illustrations for comercial and advertising situations and I feel that it tend to get a bit slow, especially when I add gradients and blendmodes to an illustration.
So If I could get som recomendations of what to focus on to boots the speed in my system, also taking into account that my budget is somewhat small, I would really appreciate it!
Best regards
Ulf

I have similar setup to yours.
From my point of view you need more RAM. I have 16GB. Than you will need to change in preferences to adjust memory used by PS and Illustrator. Maybe take a look at virtual memory in Windows and disable aero effects.
Disk. It is better to have one disk for system (eg.SSD) and one for documents. But don't buy something like WD Green series that is intended for backup.
Graphics. It is not a major player I think for your tasks, but OpenGl can speed up rendering in Photoshop and Illustrator.
When exporting AI with layers to PSD it will always show "out of memory" unless you turn off anti aliasing.
and the most important thing reinstall Windows after some time... It will work faster.

I am using a Pro 100 printer. I am on a Mac using Adobe Illustrator and printing on A-2 paper.

Hi Guys -
I am trying to print on A-2 paper which is 5.5" x 8.5". On a Pro-100
I would like to print my image without any boarders - "edge to edge".
I am using a Mac and I am using Adobe Illustrator CC
It seems that my margins in the pre-set are off - the preview shows what I am printing, which looks correct - but when it prints the left side is getting cut off. Very strange.I re-set the margines to 0.3 but that gives me a boarder. I tried changing the paper type to boarderless - which changed everything.
Any adivice would be great.
Thanks!

If you installed the Seagate software, remove it according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Can i create program, using Adobe Illustrator SDK, which would understand *.ai file format (cs versi

I need to write converter from cs ai files to my own format.
Can i use Adobe Illustrator SDK for creating such a program?
Is there in SDK libraries, which would be used for reading by program cs ai file format?
Must Adobe Illustrator be installed for such a program would work?

Well, if Idraw can do it you would need to figure out which format it likes (probably tiff would be my guess), save in that format and open the image there and proceed with however it works. The only useful advice I can offer is that jpg is a poor choice for any image that includes text. It will be fuzzy.

Can I use Adobe Illustrator symbol to create a logo identity?

Is it allowed to use an Adobe Illustrator default symbol (which is normally supplied with the program in the symbols library) to create a logo for a non-for-profit organisation? Is there a contact in Adobe for such enquiries to be officially addressed?
Many thanks,

Thanks, Mylenium. Actually it is for a non-for-profit ogranisation and I am not charging anything for it, it is totally on a probono basis. Also the symbol has been modified from its original form in terms of colour.

Subject: Illustrator Can I use Adobe Illustrator symbol to create a logo identity?
Read the Adobe EULA, section 2.7. Basically it says (in human language) that you can use any of the files that come with Adobe programs in your own work as long as you don't sell them 1:1, i.e. it's okay to use a symbol as part of a logo, but not use a unmodified symbol alone and sell it to clients.

Pattern file does not function properly in Adobe illustrator CS5

So I learned Adobe Illustrator CS5 (Say 10%). I have these two files which I downloaded from the net. They are patterns files for animals skins.
The first file is named "Animals_skins.ai" and is taken from htthttp://www.adobe.com/uk/web/tips/ill10qtpatt/p:// and can be downloaded from the same page ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/magic/special/illustrator/win/pattern.zip and has 10 Animal Skins patterns. When I
Open the file directly in Adobe Illustrator CS5, I get the contents of the file as well as they are added directly to the "Swatches Panel" on the left. When I hover over the individual boxes/Thumbnails/rectangles in the Swatches Panel with the mouse, I get the titles like "Jagur" or "Tiger" telling me the name of the patterns.
The same is the Case when I load the file using the "Open Swatch Libary" > "Other Libary" and browse to the file and open it. Works perfectly. I can apply the patterns to any shapes and it works like a charm.
The Second file is named "skins.ai" and is taken from http://www.vectoropenstock.com/4416-Animal-Skin-Patterns-vector and can be dowloaded from the same page http://www.vectoropenstock.com/descargar.php?id_vect=4416 and has 35 Skins Patterns. When I
Open the file directly in Adobe Illustartor CS5, I get the contents of the file showing me the patterns. However they are not added to the "Swatches Panel" directly as the first file does. Insted I get some other colors in the swacthes panel and when I hover over the individual boxes/Thumbnails/rectangles in the Swacthes Panel with the mose, I DON'T get the titles.
The same is the case when I load the file using the "Open Swatch Libary" > "Other Libary" and brose to the file and open it. Does not work. I CAN't apply the patterns to any sahpes. Even If I select the patterns from the main windows by clicking, selecting and draging to the swatches panle and add there. When I apply the same to any shape it applies them but it's all messed up and lines appear around the single/individual pattern if the shape to which it is being applied is big enough.
Can't figure it out that why the first file works and the second files does not. I am new to Illustartor (How many times you have heard that?) and any solution would greatly aid me in my learning process. I need the patterns for a logo design.
I have another 3rd file which has Cow Patterns and it behaves exactly the same way as the second file. Opening it shows me the pattern in the main window but it does not get added to the swatches panle either by adding it using the mouse or opening it using the browse libary method.
Thanks in Advance

you have to read the tutorial in the same page you downloaded the swatches from. It tells you exactly how to make the tiles match.
