Hi, 

 

So, the following .icc profiles are needed for exportingthe file to pdf.

- PSOcoated.v3.icc

-PSOuncoated_v3_FOGRA52.icc

 

I have a mac and placed these profiles on this location:

- /Users/larabergsma/Library/ColorSync/Profiles

 

The problem still accurs. The profiles aren't showing up when I'm trying to export with one of these profiles. The following profiles are showing:

 

I already tried to locate these other profile map, and placed the two profiles, but still no luck..

 

I hope somebody can help me out with this issue.

 

Thanks!

Also, do the profiles show in Apple’s Color Sync Utility? You might try running Profile First Aid, which will try to repair problem profiles.

It's fixed! The file didn't open in apple's color sync. So I downloaded the .icc-files again, and it worked!

Hi,

they should be here: 

/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Profiles/Recommended

As Uwe said, they should not be in the user library.

    Hi Lara,

    I'm not sure, because I'm not on Mac OS X, but you may copy the icc profile files to:

     

    /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Profiles

     

    That's not the Library folder of your user account.

    Just the Library folder in the root of the partition where your system is.

     

    Try to access the profiles with PhotoShop instead of InDesign and build your custom csf files from there.

    Store them in:

    /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Settings/Recommended

     

    You may have to add the Settings and the Recommended folder yourself.

    InDesign, PhotoShop, Illustrator and Adobe Bridge should see the csf files from there.

     

    Regards,
    Uwe Laubender
