Reply To: re: blocking swatches

Is there a reason why CMYK values aren’t added when I chose “Add Unnamed Colors” in my swatch palette? I’ve placed a PDF exported from Illustrator, and I’m not able to select any paths in the artwork, rather, I select the whole file, choose “Add Unnamed Colors” and nothing happens. The swatch does not already exist…so I’m not clear why the CMYK values aren’t added. Any advice would be much appreciated. I’m on Ventura, using 2025 versions of both Illustrator and Indesign, btw.
