Why won't Illustrator show pms color accurately?

If I draw a box in illustrator and fill it with pms 180 it's bright orange. When I do the same thing in photoshop it's red (which is much closer to the actual color). I've synched all of my color settings in bridge but that doesn't make any difference. When I copy the image from illustrator and paste it into photoshop it's still orange. And when I save it as a pdf or export it as a jpeg, it's still orange. I can make it look red in illustrator by switching to overprint preview, but that doesn't do my any good. When I send this file to my client. They keep asking why it's orange and not red!!!

Get your color management in sync between apps using bridge >> edit > creative suite color settings.
Make sure both apps are in same color space (cmyk or rgb)
Below is screenshot of a placed .psd in illustrator against a vector rectangle both filled with pms 180
If your mintor is color calibrated, then my screenshto should look close to what it shodul be on your monitor. Will never be perfect, especially with some colors  (flourescent, metallic)

  • HT3669 Now that the driver update allows my HP printer to scan, why won't it show up in Image Capture?

    Now  that the driver update allows my HP all-in-one to scan, why won't it show up in Image Capture?

    According to IC's help:
    If you can’t see your scanner in the list, refer to the documentation that came with your scanner to see how to scan images.
    Alternatively, quit IC, reset your AIO in Print&Fax prefPane, relaunch IC, and see if that lists it.

  • Why won't Apple show in my Common files?

    Why won't Apple show up in my common files when I try to update my Iphone

    I assume Canon 70D came after Lr4 was no longer being fitted with new camera support (i.e. when Lr5 was released).
    (feel free to double-check that assumption - if wrong, then forget the rest of this post..).
    Remedies:
    * upgrade to Lr5, or
    * convert to DNG (using free Adobe Converter).

  • Why won't Firefox show visited links in a different color, even though I've specified so in my Color Settings?

    When I'm on a page with multiple links (ie. Google Search, Craig's List, etc), and I click on a link, then return to the search page, Firefox doesn't show the visited links in purple. As a result I can't see which links I've visited, which makes browsing very difficult on some sites. I've updated my Color Settings to show visited links in purple, but it's not applying. What might be causing this?

    I think I figured it out. My privacy settings were set as "Custom," so I chose "Remember History." Now the link colors seem to be working.
    Thank you!

  • Why won't illustrator open after I've bought it

    Illustrator won't open can you please advise why? only the top bar comes up and i can't open up a new document.

    Sarah,
    You could try to reinstall using the full three step way (otherwise strange things may linger):
    Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool, and reinstall.

  • Why won't JPanel show up in an external JFrame?

    My code generates a graph and displays it in a JPanel.
    If the class extends JFrame, the output looks exactly as it should. The problem is that I need to extend it as a JPanel so that I can imbed it in another GUI. When I modify the code so that it is a JPanel, the graph does not show up at all (except a tiny little smudge).
    What am I missing? Here is a trimmed down version:

  • Why Won't Photoshop Sync my Color Profile Settings?

    I am using a Lynda.com tutorial for color management by DEKE MCLELLAND and after following his instruction to change my color management settings in BRIDGE AND ILLUSTRATOR to use the color profile ADOBE RGB (1998), I receive this message when switching to Photoshop to check if it has synced as well as the other two programs: "The color settings file contains settings that are not supported by this version of Photoshop running on this system.  These unsupported settings will be reset to their default values."
    I have tried several times and it simply will not sync
    I am using a MAC PRO (late 2007) 10.9.4.

    You are the perfect candidate for Adobe Support CHAT. You will speak with someone from India, but they are very smart, and very polite. It may take an hour or so, but every problem of this type I've had, they have been able to solve.

  • Why my MacBook screen showing white color and a folder with question mark?

    My MacBook screen blank in white color and with a folder showing. How to settle and ensure open properly?

    To reinstall:
    1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities or File menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    7. When finished quit DU and return to the installer. Complete the OS X installation.
