1. Re: Is there anyway to get more Pantone books into InDesign
MW Design Nov 29, 2012 3:20 PM (in response to iBabs2)Hello babs,
If you have the "PANTONE+ Premium Metallics Coated.ase" file, it simply goes into the ID application, Presets, Swatch Libraries folder.
Then load them into the swatch panel in ID.
Take care, Mike

P Spier Nov 29, 2012 3:21 PM (in response to iBabs2)Not sure what you mean by faked it out. Since you can't really render the metallics on screen anyway, I'd probably just create a new spot swatch and assign a CMYK mix that looks something like it, then name it Pantone 10121 C and forget trying to load a color book. That way the custom spot will make a plate with the right name for prepress and they'll love you forever.
If another book can be added, I'd guess the Pantone website would be the place to start. They do have some downloads for that sort of thing for Illustrator, I believe, and there may be some stuff for ID as well.

iBabs2 Nov 29, 2012 5:00 PM (in response to MW Design)Hi Mike,
I don't have the PANTONE+Premium Metallics Coated.ase file, so that is why I couldn't find it. My client does have that book, so hopefully, I can find a disk or can register for the download.
Thanks so much!

iBabs2 Nov 29, 2012 5:03 PM (in response to P Spier)Hi Peter,
I just meant I did exactly what you kindly suggested..that is what I meant by faking it out... I just found a color that looked very close and changed it to a CMYK break option, so I could name the PANTONE color properly, but leaving the option set to spot. For what I needed to to at this point, that was sufficient, as we are just in the stage of choosing and comparing colors.
I will look into getting my hands on the file that Mike mentioned...
Thanks so much!! ;-)

BBBarrlley Mar 23, 2013 8:32 AM (in response to iBabs2)I don't know about you, but for me, Program Files/Adobe/Illustrator/Presets/en_US/Swatches/Color books has all the Pantone books. You simply have to load other library.
