Modified on Wed, Feb 14, 2018 at 3:41 PM

How to add predefined spot colors within text?

 Use the following syntax:

 <fillcolor={spotname {actual color name} tint-value}>

 

Examples:

<fillcolor={spotname {PANTONE 481 U} 1}>

<fillcolor={spotname {PANTONE 100 C} 0.8}> 

Predefined colours:

<fillcolor={spotname {Orange} 1}> 

<fillcolor={spotname {Violet} 1}>

The actual color name can be taken from the list offered by PDFLib plugin when separation option is selected for color. 

For custom spot colors, use the following syntax:

<fillcolor={spotname {Custom name} tint-value {Alternate color in cmyk, rgb or gray}}> 

Example:

<fillcolor={spotname {MyViolet} 1 {cmyk 0 .45 0 .07}}>
