Copy all Pantone libraries with extension. Use this workaround only if you encounter missing colors in legacy documents opened in Illustrator CS6 or CC. It is not recommended to use older Pantone libraries to add new colors to a document.
There is no change in this process. To add a spot color to a document, open the color book and click the desired swatch. CMYK values took priority over Lab values. The spot color added to the document usually came with CMYK values. This workaround makes the Pantone spot color uniform across different versions of Illustrator.
Files from earlier versions open successfully. Spot color definitions are preserved along with their original definitions. When you place-link such files in an Illustrator CS6 or CC document, the system searches for the color information for spot channels in the installed Pantone Plus color books.
If an identically named color is found in any of the available spot color books, the system fetches it and links to the file or opens the legacy file. During this process, there can be a slight difference in how the color appears compared to Illustrator CS5 or earlier.

Are you asking about Pantone process colors? Or spot colors? Spot colors. Unfortunately, all printers print these colors differently. We print out large charts to compare color — Alyssa. Why are you using spot colors on a CMYK printer? That doesn't make sense. I, too am looking for this kind of solution to printing a color book.

This will then show you the closest color match from that book, which you can find in the default Illustrator Pantone color libraries.
If you use these colors a lot, I highly recommend getting it set up instead of using the converter over and over — which is not very convenient for a long term solution.
