since CS6, the Pantone Solid Coated and Uncoated libraries, regardless of illustrator, indesign or photoshop, are based on LAB values rather than CMYK equivalents. Others i’m not so sure but those two – definitely.

The ink manager that gert is referring to is available from the flyout panel of the Separations preview palette.

It is also available from the flyout panel of the swatches palette.

Once this palette is open, there is a checkbox on the bottom left corner that says “all spots to process” – click this and all spots – regardless where the colour was created – will be converted to process.

While this checkbox is a down-and-dirty way of changing all spots to process, it is worth noting that the same spot colour can have different colour breakdowns depending on what program contained the colour. This is explained in more detail in an old piece: https://colecandoo.wordpress.com/2011/12/19/spot-color-of-bother/

Ultimately, it depends on how colour critical the output is to yourself, your client or third parties involved (e.g. advertisers that have supplied ads with spot colours that need to meet certain colour criteria).

I'm with Kasyan on this: I'm using CS6 at home and work on Mac OSX platforms (10.6 and 10.7) and that script works fine. Just make sure that the script being used is MultiPageImporter2.5-CS5.jsx (an update of Scott Zanelli's original script) and this is available from the indesignsecrets link posted by the OP.

What can cause MultiPageImporter2.5 to fail though is if it is placing a PDF based upon placement options in the PDF that don't exist in that specific PDF. If this is the case, perhaps import using the placement option of Media Box or Bounding Box.

try this:

text {findWhat:”indesign”} {changeTo:”in^{design^}”}

there is a key script which makes using the findchangebylist.jsx invaluable, and it is called recordfindchange.jsx – simply make the search query in the find/change dialog box and then run the script, and hey presto, a text-file pops up with the find/change string ready to pop into the findchangelist.txt file.

that is how I generated the string which returned the correct answer when I tried to do this in indesign.

Ole Kvern wrote one called Registrationfix.jsx

Have a look at this forum: https://forums.adobe.com/message/1291783

Of course, it only finds registration colour made within indesign. That is, if a graphic was placed (EPS, PDF etc) which was in registration, then this script won't fix that.

something similar is going on in the adobe forums. have a look at this script:

two ways to tackle this, both effectively use find/replace.

1) the plug-in by automatication called “multi-find/change” in which find/replace commands can be chained.

2) using scripts that both ship with indesign and already in the ether thanks to other scripters to effectively do the same thing – chain several find/replace commands. have written a how-to on this blogpage: https://colecandoo.wordpress.co…..ord-macro/
