Color Swatches Between Adobe Apps?

Hey!


I spent a lot of time creating a custom swatch with the color palette of a corporate client in Adobe Illustrator. I'm not working in InDesign and I don't see the same User Defined swatches in the menu to select the custom swatch I created.


Do the Adobe suite of apps share swatches? How can I access my Illustrator swatch in InDesign?

Thanks!
Scot

    Save the swatches as an ASE file from Illy and then load them into InDesign.

    Thank you!

    I did that, however InDesign is only loading in 13 colors from that swatch when there are actually about 25 colors. Any ideas?

    Thanks for your help.

    Make sure all the swatches were selected in Illustrator when you save the ASE file. Only the selected swatches are included in the ASE file.
