Am I so blind that I am missing this?
I have a CMYK only PDF
Need to add in a new PMS of say Pantone 186 U
I want to select a fill of 100M 100Y and then tell it to become the Pantone.
What am I missing?
Thanks
 
Hi - yes to the not-obvious but we do this all the time in PrePress.
In the available Pitstop Convert Color Action you can change 'RGB' to 'spot color'.
You do have to select the object color first.
I would add the CMYK color to the document colors first but you don't have to as you can choose the 'selected object' color.
Works well. YMMV.

But, why is my new color 57 percent of the spot color?
