X6 adds colors to document palette for no apparent reason - can't delete them

Hello,

For some unknown reason X6 adds colors (usually pantone) to the document palette when those colors are not being used - and were never used.

When I try to delete them from the palette I get a message that they are "currently in use" even when nothing other than black is being used.

These offending colors also show up in the pdfs I create from the document.

I have re-recreated the same document page by page, watching the document palette as I go and for no apparent reason colors start to magically appear.

Dos anyone have an idea what is going on here and how to address the issue - other than using InDesign?

FYI, I'm using 64bit X6. Windows 7, 16Gb ram.

Thanks,

K

  • The Document palette doesn't work as it should, or at least not the way I would like it to do, and I have personally stopped using it.

    To make it a little bit more useful I suggest you disable "Automatically Update" from the palette menu (little arrow at the end of palette) and make sure there are no colors in the palette when you start a fresh document.

    Then you can easily add the colors you want, by using either "Add from Selection" (my preferred choice) or  "Add from Document" (which may add a few strange colors as well).
