Pantone solid coated missing in illustrator 2023.

What if I no longer have earlier versions? This is a mess

There is still one version that you can download that has the libraries.

Install an older version of Illustrator: 2023 (27.0), this is the last version that has the old Pantone Color books.

In the Creative Cloud app select Apps > All Apps > Illustrator > click the 3 dots …  next to the Open button >  click Other Versions and select 27.0

Go the Illustrator 2023 Application folder > Presets > (your language folder) > Swatches > Color Books > and make a copy of PANTONE+ Solid Coated.acb and PANTONE+ Solid Uncoated.acb 

Keep them in a safe place and copy them to the same location in the Illustrator 2024 application folder.

You can then uninstall the older version.

If you have a Photoshop license, you can install Photoshop 22.2.

Then, open Photoshop 2021 Application folder > Presets > Color Books and you will find the PANTONE color books, so copy it to Illustrator's Color Books folder.

Adobe have to solve this! Please!

@gracielle nonakm79192628 This is not Adobe's doing - the issue lies with Pantone. To their credit, Adobe has offered some workarounds for users to get by for now:

Ah, All right, sorry. So I rope Pantone y Adobe solved this then :o)
Thanks Kevin, for mí is more easyer open a older versión of Illustrator. 

[Kevin Stohlmeyer]

@gracielle nonakm79192628 that is one of the workarounds, but if you already have an older version of Illustrator, you can move the swatch libraries to your current folders and use them there as well!

[gracielle nonakm79192628]

thanks a lot Kevin!

Hi, I have the exact same question.

I bought TPG fans+specifier from Pantone and now can't use it with the most efficient (for me) tool in Illustrator (Colour Libraries) to start matching the colours to "real life" since .acb isn't available. With the previous TCX + TPX it worked like a charm. I'm frustrated and disappointed 

Can you please fix this!

What if I no longer have older versions of A.I.?

Can someone help - my system just updated Illustrator to 28 and I can't find the 26 version to download with the Pantone Charts - can someone email them to me or tell me where to get them ASAP?
