Adobe Acrobat: Fix for "Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: setdistillerparams; ErrorInfo: CalCMYKProfile U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2"

%%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: setdistillerparams; ErrorInfo: CalCMYKProfile U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2 ]%%
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
Error accessing color profile: U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%

For a while now, my PDF creation has been broken and I never really bothered to read the error message. When I finally did, I thought what a strange error to come across.

Somehow, the colour profile "U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2" has gone missing.

Good thing Adobe has these up on the internet for us to download.

  • Go to the "ICC profiles for Windows" page to grab "Adobe ICC profiles".
  • Click "Proceed to download"
  • Click "Download Now" (So many steps to download a bloody file)
  • Now extract "AdobeICCProfilesWin_end-user.zip"
  • Go to "Adobe ICC Profiles (end-user)\CMYK Profiles"
  • Right click "USWebCoatedSWOP.icc" and click "Install Profile".
  • That should now fix your problems.
