So.. I slice up a design in Ai to export web jpgs for use in Dreamweaver - all good - I then make some Changess to the design and want to re-export the slices... suddenly ALL SLICES ARE NOT WORKING! The slices seem to be there, well the shape is there, but they are not active slices any more.The only fix is to re-slice the design. I had to re-slice a file 4 times the other day!! arrgghhhh!!! So frustrating to have to re-slice the design evey time I want to export. Anyone else having this issue?? got any ideas/solutions?Ive searched online but cant find any one else facing this issues.Ive tried uninstall/reinstall of Ai but no luck. WELP!

In the last few weeks, saving a file in Legacy Format (CS5) isn´t working properly.A Colleague of mine still uses CS5 and I often save files for him.Nowadays, files appear "corrupt" or "from a newer version", despite being simple designs, without any of the new features.Anyone else experiencing this? Any solves? Thank you

In Illustrator, when I “Save” or “Save As...” I cannot paste a name into the dialogue box. It ‘beeps’ like an error.

Buenos días:El otro día instalé la última versión de illustrator y desde entonces cuando utilizo el scroll para desplazarme se me queda activado continuamente y el programa deja de responder. Este error me obliga a cerrar el programa y volverlo a abrir. Al mismo tiempo es muy íncómodo porque tengo que trabajar mentalizada en no utilizar el scroll por el documento.¿Le ha pasado a alguien más? Muchas gracias.Un saludo,Beatriz

 I am experiencing a severe and recurring bug where text elements shift entirely out of their designated objects and bounding boxes. This is most prominent when opening older files or files created in previous versions.Even after updating to the latest version of Illustrator, the issue persists. Every single time I open a project, I have to waste hours manually rearranging text to its correct place. It is incredibly frustrating, tiring, and is significantly impacting my professional productivity.  Updating the software has not fixed the problem. without update  previous allighment and position were this.after updating file text had changed its position.

So this issue started only a few days ago but it has made it so I can’t do any of my design work.Illustrator laggs out for 30 seconds to a minute when I'm scrolling through the character lists and wanting to test different fonts for a design. This is sometimes not so bad, but with a little bit more graphically intense/ complicated fonts it is so bad. The program just completely decides to lagg out on me and I can't do anything about it.I have tried to install other versions, redownload the newest versions, tried disabling the ‘Enable missing glyph protection’ and I have GPU performance mode on. Any idea's on what to fix? My computer specs are:AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 6-Core processor32GB of RAMSamsung SSD 970 EVO PlusNVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Down here is a font example where illustrator freezes for 30 seconds to a minute 

Hey there!I've just run into a very weird problem with Illustrator CC. I can't seem to copy and paste anything. I'm not copying or pasting from another program or even from another illustrator file, copying simply doesn't add anything to the clipboard and paste is always grayed out in the Edit menu.After googling a bit I saw a forum post on the Google Chrome forums saying the issue was related to Chrome being open and the Skype Click-to-call extension interfering with Illustrator's clipboard, but I don't have the Skype Click-to-call extension and even if I close Chrome and relaunch Illustrator, no luck.I'm all out of ideas, can anyone help? As you can imagine this is super frustrating!

"Illustrator bug (latest version): I can't copy/paste smart objects into Photoshop or import my files into InDesign (the rendering is invisible). Only transferring to a new .ai file seems to 'fix' the content. Has anyone else experienced this problem with the connection between Adobe software recently?"

Every time I open illustrator all the layers in my file expand showing every single sub-layer. This is beyond annoying because I have to close EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM. How do I fix this????

In Adobe Illustrator 26 on macOS 15.7.4 (Sequoia), externally linked .PSD files are not being preserved. The .PSD functions normally when first placed and can be updated or opened via the Links panel. After saving and reopening the document, the link is inactive, with “Update Link” and “Edit Original” greyed out. The PSD has to be relinked, which is then lost on the next save/open.Illustrator 25 works fine.

I have my variables set up. I've loaded a variable library (CSV) and exported all the datasets as images.Then I was able to load a new csv file and export it again.But after changing anything in the file, I now get the dreaded "The filter cannot complete because of an unknown error."I saved a backup and deleted all the bindings and it loads. But I have too many bound objects to set up each time to do this every time I make a change and load a new csv file. Deleting the datasets doesn't even fix it. I have to unbind and rebind the objects to get it working again. I've had this happen before and just lived with it, but this time I have too many objects to redo it. Is there anything I can do to get it to work? Thanks,Bryan 

When I open my PDF in illustrator it appears like the boxes. how can i solve this?  

Hello,I have two layers I am trying to trace on.  When I lower the opacity on one layer, the image does not show through clearly.  Is there any way to fix this?

Bonsoir la communauté, J’ai un bug sur mes fichiers illustrator et je ne vois pas d’où vient le problème.Je travaille sous profil Coated Fograph 39. Quand je mets un noir d’impression (C30, M30, J30, N100). Si j’exporte en pdf ou si je ferme et réouvre mon fichier, systématiquement, mes noirs deviennent (C0, M0, J0, N100).J’ai beau choisir l’option dans mes préférences “reproduire tous les noirs comme noirs intense”, cela ne change rien. Auriez vous une piste? Je vous remercieCé

I opened a file I was working on yesterday and ALL color swatches used are missing. What happened? Where did they go? I opened some older files, and same thing across MULTIPLE files. All color swatches gone. How do I get these back?!? Adobe Illustrator 29.7.1

Hello! I’ve got this issue where my illustrator app (up to date) freezes for a few moments any time i specifically use the alt + zoom function. If i press Z and then drag left or right, the zoom is perfectly smooth, but for some reason the alt zoom just completely freezes up my illustrator for like 5 seconds at a time. I’ve got a 4080 super graphics card that i have toggled on and off in GPU performance, GPU view, turned animated zoom on and off, and even set illustrator as a high performance application in the nvidia control panel, as well as uninstalled and reinstalled the application. Would love to know if anyone else has had this issue! Ultimately i can do without it i guess, but i’ve been using this zoom reflexively for an absurd amount of time, maybe 7 years at this point, and for some reason on this machine i’m currently working on its messed up. Thanks! 

While visiting the Adobe help site, I just realized that the Photoshop and Illustrator user guides are no longer available. Those guides contained complete, technical, and detailed information about the applications. Now, the new guides are very basic for beginners. I'd like to know who has access to the complete Photoshop and Illustrator user guides and why Adobe no longer publishes them.

I’ve been using Illustrator for well over-20 years and have never seen this issue at this intensity. Illustrator is freezing every 4–5 seconds, like clockwork, for about half a second. It’s rhythmic and continuous, and it’s now becoming difficult to work with.No other Adobe apps do this. No other program on my system does this. It is 100% Illustrator‑specific.I spent my entire Saturday trying to isolate the cause. Here’s what I’ve already done:•     Reset all Illustrator preferences•     Renamed/deleted Adobe cache folders (AppData → Roaming & Local)•     Checked mouse settings, polling rate, drivers•     Checked Windows registry scancode maps•     Disabled all overlays (Xbox Game Bar, NVIDIA, etc.)•     Toggled GPU Performance on/off•     Toggled Real-Time Drawing & Editing•     Toggled Pixel Preview, Overprint Preview, Smart Guides, Rulers / Reset Preferences •     Tested in blank documents and new files•     Disabled Creative Cloud sync features•     Checked for background p

Hi,I am trying to make a globe with longitude and latitude. I have sucessfully made the first globe in this illustration (this is not my design):  ...but what I’m struggling with is the second globe. Ignore the map, colouring and labels, I’m simply looking at drawing the concentric circles of latitude and longitude, all heading towards or meeting at the north pole. I think I can get my head around the latitude by drawing circles and then using Shape Builder to trim them, but it’s the lines of longitude that are difficult. I asked AI and it gave me these instructions:Step 1: Create the Grid (The "Map Art")Before we make the globe, we need a flat grid to wrap around it. Draw a Rectangle. Hold Shift to make it a perfect square. Give it a stroke and no fill. With the square selected, go to Object > Path > Split into Grid. Set the number of Rows (Latitude) and Columns (Longitude). For a standard look, try 12 Rows and 24 Columns. Click OK. Open your Symbols Panel (Window > Sym

Has anybody successfully fixed the mousewheel zoom in Illustrator on Windows? Very capable up to date machine. Updated / reinstalled OS, AI and Nvidia drivers. (Studio drivers should really be tested before Qualification)Updated Logitech driversTried Different UI scalesTried with and without all the Hardware Acceleration GPU preferencesWith and without Live zoomWith and without Smart Scroll (logitech options+)I am not sure how many versions of AI have to go back to get it working againThis is a major bug that keeps happening and it would be good if some resource could be allocated to fully testing and fixing it.Losing a LOT of time to the app hanging when I scroll the mouse wheel Tristan 

Hi. After update to v. 30.2.1 I am not able to open ai. file saved as CS5 version on PC were we use older version of Illustrator CS5. 

Hello, I have recently purchased a new notebook and installed Creative Cloud on it. After opening the application and signing in with the same email address that has my active Illustrator license, I can only see the option to download Illustrator for tablets (iPad). The desktop version of Illustrator does not appear in Creative Cloud at all. I have already tried: - Logging out and logging back in- Restarting the computer- Reinstalling Creative Cloud Nothing has helped. On my old computer, using the same account, Illustrator for desktop is installed and works normally. My license is active and visible in my Adobe account. However, on the new computer, Creative Cloud only shows the tablet version and does not offer the desktop installation. Could you please help me resolve this issue? Thank you very much. Kind regards,Eva Vontrobová

Having some issues with the top bar menu drop downs. The biggest issue is that they won't expand fully and instead have the little arrows at the top and bottom to reveal hidden menu options. I'ts seriously disrupting my workflow. Also, my Effects drop down is super tiny? I hope someone knows whats going on here.
