Because of the changes to/with Pantone I signed up for Pantone Connect at Pantone. When I try to install the "free" plugin to Creative Cloud it says I don't have a compatible app installed. It says I need InDesign, PhotoShop and Illustrator. I have all three (Creative Cloud). How do I access this plugin so that I can use the spot color I need?
Hi @kdwpilgrim1 , the "Free" Basic version is pretty much useless. You can search, but you can’t add a swatch to your ID Swatches panel, and you can’t get color data without a paid subscription.
Also, Adobe is going to stop installing the Pantone .acb files that show up in the Swatches panel, but that shouldn’t stop you from installing them yourself. The .acb files are located in your ID app folder:
HD ▸ Applications ▸ Adobe InDesign 2021 ▸ Presets ▸ Swatch Libraries▸ PANTONE+ Solid Coated.acb, etc.
