These books are searchable and can be simply parked in the folder where the other ones reside within the application.

Here are the Pantone libraries from my archive:

Pantone Plus: Pantone Libraries.zip

Older Pantone: Old Pantone Libraries.zip

Message me if you have trouble downloading.

Not sure who to be more pissed off Patone or Adobe. You can no longer find ver Illustrator 27 to get around this but an arugment between mommy and daddy now we have to pay for a subscription fee to be able to use Pantone colors -- what BS. subscription for everything now a days.

Pantone is not a part of the CC anymore.

Hi @positive_Rocket1587 , Akso you can manually install Pantone .acb files in the application Swatches folder. You can download .acb files here:

Or if you have a back up of an older version you could copy the . acb files fro the old application folder

Too bad this no longer works. I tried finding Illustrator 27 and no such luck. It worked last time I used it but it's no longer avialable in the Adobe cloud.
