Pantone solid coated missing in illustrator 2023.

Correct answer Kevin Stohlmeyer

@RillyGud You should check for the Pantone V4 series of acb files that were released in 2019. That is the last time Pantone updated their colors. You can find them available for download from various design sites.

@Anubhav M - you marked an answer as correct with outdated information. The current Pantone information is displayed on this page: https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/pantone-plus.html

This is not good for us as a printer using this for year and didn't get this update. Adobe should fix this issue.

To be clear this is not an Adobe "Issue" this was Pantone pulling support from Creative Cloud and going it alone with their Pantone Connect plugin (a paid subscription). Your complaint should be directed there.

As a printer - there were many notifications given by Adobe prior to you updating your software. If you didn't pay attention to them, then I'm not sure what else could be done.

As others have posted, you can either subscribe to Pantone Connect or download and manually install the .acb books from previous Pantone offerings.

Maybe printers were notified, but I don't recall a notification either, unless it was buried in a massive amount of fine print. You're reply to that person was a bit sarcastic saying "…if you didn't pay attention…" People are looking to forums for help and assistance, not sarcastic comments.

This is a complete ****show!!

In my part of the world, every printer uses Pantone Solid C/U as a colour reference. Hence the reason it (was) included in every adobe print-related product. What the hell are we to do now? Has anyone actually tried the complete joke of an extension Pantone has uploaded to Adobe Exchange?? It's effectively a webview that forces you to pay a subscription. Slow, ugly, doesn't always work and is a nightmare for workflow.

I don't, in theory, mind paying for Pantone colour libraries, we already have their physical colour books. But for the love of god PLEASE give us a better integration!
