Pantone mapping

Hi, I would like to setup an Action List that does the following :
Map alternate color space to PANTONE+ Lab values (But always keep paper suffix from incoming Pantone name - and map accordingly)

You'll need to select spot by suffix and remap to the desired Pantone library.
Repeat for each suffix needed

Thanks Malcolm, I didn't realize that I could select by color suffix. Great!

Hi again, unfortunatly the select by spot color suffix does not work for me. I'm guessing since the Action 'Remap all PANTONE library colors' applies to all PANTONE colors in the document regardless of the previous select.

I have also given it a go.
My action list first selects PANTONE C and remaps. Then PANTONE U and remaps.

Thanks Malcolm and Jimmy! You both came to the same conclusion. This is working!

I'm late to this conversation, but in the past, I just renamed the Pantone colors since the name itself didn't matter until it got to the RIP. In this action list, every Pantone U gets changed to a C.
