NOTES & DOCS [SEPARATE TAB]
We've made important color space bug fixes in this latest version:
- When adding a spot color to swatches (PMS, TCX) in InDesign, the color now passes as spot instead of a process color
- Color Bridge and CMYK guide colors are now added to Swatches and documents as process colors, thus keeping their CMYK values intact. Be sure to have your document settings set as CMYK for these color values to apply correctly.
Please use the unsigned ZXP file available from Pantone. Contact us at support@pantone.com to get in touch with our team.
There are no reviews currently available. Be the first to review it.

Additionally, certain premium features of the Services are available on a subscription basis only (the ”Premium Services”). In order to access and use such Premium Services you must upgrade and pay the subscription charges.
Pantone currently offers the Premium Services, (as a single-seat or a multi-seat license) on a monthly or annual subscription basis to be paid in full as of the start of the term. When you initially subscribe for the Premium Services (as a single-seat or a multi-seat license), you will have to select either the monthly or the annual subscription and pay the subscription fees for the period selected. Only if you purchased a single-seat license the first 30-days of your subscription will be considered a free-of-charge trial period (the ”Trial Period”) and you can cancel your subscription at any time during such Trial Period through the functionality of the Application, by emailing Pantone at Support@pantone.com, or through our third party payment processor. If you have not so cancelled the by the end of the Trial Period your subscription will continue as is for the full term you selected. The Trial Period doers not apply to multi-seat license purchases.
In most regions, Premium Service subscriptions are subject to automatic renewal for consecutive renewal terms of the same duration (e.g., a month or a year) as your initial subscription. In such jurisdictions, you may avoid a renewal term (and with respect to multi-seat licenses also be able to reduce the number of seats) by notifying Pantone of your desire to terminate your subscription (and with respect to multi-seat licenses also reduce the number of seats) at any time prior to the renewal date through the functionality of the Application, by emailing Pantone at Support@pantone.com, or through our third party payment processor. Termination of your subscription (and with respect to multi-seat licenses also reduction of the number of seats) will in all cases be effective as of the end of the then current term such that in no cases will subscription fees be refunded, unless and to the extent otherwise mandated by applicable mandatory law.
In order to subscribe to Premium Services for use through the Application (”In-App Subscription”), you will be required to provide certain information including your credit card number, billing address and any related payment information (collectively, ”Payment Information”).

For accounts that are subject to automatic renewal, you consent to the automatic debit of your credit card in the amount of the then current subscription fees for your type of subscription. We reserve the right to suspend access to the Premium Services if our third party payment processor is unable to process your renewal subscription fees and no other form of payment is provided.
