Pantone Book Warning

[Tracy]

I'm starting to get the Pantone Book Warning, I did copy the Pantone books back when Joe warned us.
what is everybody doing about this?
will the Pantone colors still be in pitstop?

[Joe]

Yes they will still be in Pitstop.

Where are you getting the warnings?

[Tracy]

InDesign

[Joe]

Hmmmm...I have the latest version and I'm not getting any warnings and I still have the Pantone libraries. Do you still have the Pantone libraries in InDesign?

[Tracy]

yes you might try opening a document that has a spot color?
it looks like the postscript font warning you get down at the bottom

ok yeah I tried it and if you make a document that has a spot, save it and reopen it you will see the warning at the bottom
the warning just pops up once, when you reopen doc it isn't there
it just started happening when I updated

If you click the Learn More button on the error message it says:

After November 2022, the only Pantone Color books that will remain are:

• Pantone + CMYK Coated
• Pantone + CMYK Uncoated
• Pantone + Metallic Coated

Customers who rely on Pantone colors in their creative workflows will need a Pantone license via the Pantone Connect plugin available on Adobe Exchange.

If you create the spot using one of those libraries you don't get the message.

I am assuming these "needed" are "free" libraries...



LOL

[Tracy]

I use the Solid Coated and Uncoated, I think I made screen shots somewhere how to put the colors back
will work?

looks like it will be $60 per year, sheesh next will have to pay for each character that we type

[Possum]

Don't give them any ideas.

That post was 210 characters. If I start charging a dollar a character I would have just made $210. I think this might work for me.

You guys are killin' me! 

[Tracy]

I'm really doubting putting the Pantone swatches back where they go is going to work?

[Joe]

Depends^® if Adobe keeps removing them.
