I got an error when using split all. Seems there was a small issue with line 165 and 172. I fixed it by changing myTextFrames.duplicate(); > myTextFrames[i].duplicate(); and further myTextFrames.remove(); > myTextFrames[i].remove(); Here's the adjusted code /*

Okay i got it fixed now by change line 165 and line 172. I noticed it was looping of the FrameCount but was trying to duplicate a total number. I added [i] and now all frame get split. Here's my adjusted version, i bumped it to 3.0.1 now /*

@SJDes, i got those *.mrk files working again. I dove into the files and did testing removing some of the comments in them. Eventually, the file started working again. There is some issue with some of those comments in that .mrk file. Ive attached a working version of the Japanese Cropmarks http://www.filedropper.com/printermarks In the ZIP there is the Japanese version, i also added a QuarkXpress version. Not sure why, does anyone use that app? I did add the plate color to the QuarkX verion, this will show on each plate. Now looks a bit messy

Your better off using save for Web. The save as command and using JPEG is horribly bad, it hardly makes any difference, even when setting it to low. When using Saves for Web, files will be about 60% smaller. Not sure why this is, it seems like the Saves JPEG method doesnt work properly. What i do find strange is that i read there thinking of dropping the Sve for Web command, its very old and slow. Hope they come with a good alternative, because saves as is just not good in my opinion.

srishtib8795206​,, why does some admin state there that the issue is fixed while its not?? Many people still keep reporting this. I dont understand how such an imported "little" feature cant be fixed. IT completly ruins the illutrator experience i always had. Its bugging the hell out of me because it takes much more time now selecting stuff bcause i need to do 3-4 extra steps.

I just figured out that it will only show in the Effects Control panel and NOT in the layers panel. I was freaking out, search for more than a hour to find a solution...

Problem is save using artboards is very buggy, works half of the time. You need to pay attention you go over all inputs each time otherwise it will still save all artboards in a single file. The script is nice but export illustrator basic PDF setting, which not includes color profile. SO thats not handy

Than you end with probably wrong RGB values. When you check Pantone site you will notice that the "official" RGB values are different than when you convert from LAB to RGB. Than there's another nice Adobe "gift", each program seems to shift the LAB values a tiny bit. Well that is handy for controlled space

BobbyH5280​, I'm willing to bet there's a lot of graphics people specifying Pantone spot colors on jobs without having one of those costly physical swatch books on hand. I confess, im guilty sir.... I dont have have the money to get those. I use them as a guide and then work in CMYK.

@rob day, thanks it almost works perfect. The issue is that the Pantone app exports files as PANTONELIB.abs.bak. Because it ends with .bak it caused an error. I believe that is some windows format. Error after exporting lib from PCM I tried a easy dirty fix by deleting ,bak and than they do load just fine. So now i have up to date Libs. File with wrong extension on OSX, bottom one works after deleting .bak Ive just send them an email, let's see what the response is. There is one more thing i noticed. When you export the book you can choose between LAB or sRGB. When you choose RGB and add the lib in Illustrator, the RG values dont match to numbers given on their site. For instance PMS 3515c on there site 87-7-118 but in illustrator using sRGB color profile the color is 97-0-125? Does anyone know if the RGB values on their site are using a specific RGB Color Profile? However after checking the PCM app, i see the sRGB value for 3515c is indeed also 97-0-125 in there app. Now im wondering what that RGB is on their page with colors??? Ive also mailed them about this

Because if Adobe provides a service, its awkward this is not up to date. I dont own any Pantone products, i can try Pantone Color Manager as trial. I believe im than able to update the libs within the trial period.

PS i do see them show up now, they are showing under the "Print" presets and not under "Saved" presets. However Photoshop saves the saved document custom presets in the preferences folder, that is here: /Users/USERNAME/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop CC 2018 Settings/ Here there are 2 files located; New Doc Sizes.json and MRU New Doc Sizes.jason, these 2 files contain the custom saved doc sizes. This is what illustrator is missing and to me seems like a bug or broken GUI.
