Please add automated color bar, separation color information - Print PDF output
Hi! I am missing a choice in PDF save or export. In the print industry is needed to add colour information for the customer, what colours is the artwork made from - esp. when we use solid colours. Customers need this for the approval process so we have to add this colour-bar manually. In the PDF (composite PDF) window there are Marks and Bleed choices, but there is missing a choice to choose a colour information automatically generated from the document colours - separations. The colour information can be graphical (squares with separation names) or text based (separation name in that colour).

Yes! I agree. Although adobe seems to look at Illustrator as only for Illustration, in reality it is widely used for prepress production and needs more features like this! Including mouse hovering color values in the separation preview 😊👍🏻 https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/39078493-separation-preview-with-values-on-hover
