How can I get Illustrator to open my Pantone color book? I have the book in my library, and Illustrator won't show it in the list of color books. I've tried deleting the color book file, putting a new file in the folder., restarting, etc. I even got the Pantone Connect extension, but don't even know if I have to turn on the extension, or what...

THanks Everyone! I fixed it. I uninstalled Illustrator, and then re-installed, and my Pantone books were there.

My Pantone color books are in the Illustrator Application folder > Presets > language folder > Swatches > Color Books

Yes, that is where I put them. Restarted my computer, etc, and still not showing up in my Illustrator color books menu.

I still have the old Pantone books and they load without an issue. I don't even have them installed anywhere, just loading them from my disk.

 

What kind of file is your?

Exactly how are you trying to load it?

They are the old color books that my team members are all using. I put them in the correct folder, but they are not showing up in my Illustrator menu.
