Re: Different Pantone builds within Adobe Apps . . .
In other words, if in Photoshop and you want to match what you get when using PANTONE solid coated library in InDesign, you would have to use the PANTONE solid to process library in Photoshop, because that's actually the right library for choosing CMYK numbers given by PANTONE for the PANTONE color CMYK equivalents. InDesign gives the CMYK color equivalents by default even when using the solid coated library, and no color management is happening.
The reverse of this is if you want InDesign to use the same numbers as Photoshop for a certain PANTONE color, then you'll need to use the PANTONE solid coated library in both. Photoshop will use the Lab numbers as source by default and get the CMYK numbers by using the CMYK profile of the document. Color management is happening here. To make InDesign do this too, you'll want to use the same CMYK profile as used in Photoshop, and in Ink Manager, choose to convert all spots to process, and check Use Lab values.
Yes it would be nice if we could all just quit using PANTONE's wrong CMYK numbers and all start using the PANTONE Lab values. Unfortunately, mapping of out-of-gamut colors into the printing condition is inherent in the CMYK profile. More work needs done on this to get the best possible hue match to the out-of-gamut colors (think PANTONE Goe, RGB, Lab colors that can't be matched in CMYK, but can get better matched according to hue with research, and maybe one day we could all use the same profile or program to give us the best reproduction).
