Bonjour,

Dans Illustrator, le nuancier Pantone SOLID Coated n'est plus disponible dans la bibliothèque de nuances,

Pantone + cmjk coated le remplace, de ce fait il manque plein de couleurs...

Quelqu'un a-t-il une solution ?

 

merci par avance !

Correct answer Kevin Stohlmeyer

To be fair, this had nothing to do with Adobe. This was all Pantone's decision and consequences.

To help users, Adobe has listed workarounds including how to download and reinstall the Pantone acb files in current builds as listed in the link below.

There are also copies of the Pantone V4 current library (last update to Pantone was 2019) available for download from various sites.

When you install a previous version like 26.5, you will find the color books in the Illustrator application folder > Presets > (Your language folder) > Swatches > Color Books.

I think some were removed in 26.5 (at least my 26.5 installation has fewer Pantone books than my 25.4 installation), so it may be worth going back prior to that.

I am totally confused regarding the installation of Pantone books.

My latest update 27.0.1 did not have the solid coated/uncoated. I uninstalled that version (throwing away prefs), installed it again and the books were there...

The library (among others) was removed from the most recent update:

Going forward, the only way to access up-to-date libraries will be via Pantone's software.

However, if you have an older version of Illustrator installed, you can copy the colour books from its swatches folder

You need to subscribe to Pantone's software if you want their up-to-date colour books from now on.

If all you want are the old colour books as swatch libraries, you can get them by installing an Illustrator version before 26.5 and copying them from C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator 2022\Presets\en_GB\Swatches\Color Books
