Using ORIS CxF Designer Plug-in for Adobe Illustrator

Use the ORIS CxF Designer plug-in to import CxF/X-4-defined spot colors into the swatch palette of Adobe Illustrator. This allows designers to use colorimetric brand colors for their artwork. ORIS CxF Designer automatically exports the full CxF/X-4 metadata to the PDF/X file when the final artwork is saved in this format. The file is then immediately ready for print.

ORIS CxF Designer is only compatible with Adobe Illustrator CS6 and CC2015.2.1 or lower. Development of this plug-in has been discontinued. Users of Illustrator CC2015.3 or higher can use ASE format to import spot color names into Illustrator.
