Illustrator question

A customer sent me an ai file. All I have to do is output it but they didn't supply any spot colors. My question is, is there a way to select the colors and get the PMS equivalent in Illustrator cs2 like you can in photoshop?

I'd just eyeball it?

yeah, I'm lazy and didn't want to. Damn people for not using spot colors! Thanks man.

nope, not in illustrator. plug the design into photoshop, get your equivelents, then go back and set them in illustrator

i wish illustrator had that feature like photoshop. i work for a screen printer and we have that problem every day!

we usually just send the file back and tell them to set the colors themselves

Yeah, I work for a screen printing co and see it a lot. That's why I figured I would ask to see if there was a feature I was missing.

I work full time for a screen printing shop in maryland. I have to do what the customer wants all day so it is nice to make designs that I would wear and post them here.
