Questions

I hope this isn't a silly question.. I am working on a document which has been supplied with the Language set to French. I need to spell check it in English, but don't seem to be able to change the languge of the dictionary.I have changed the setting in Settings>Hypenation.Did language not used to appear as a setting in the character panel?Thanks!!

Came across this simple yet elegant effect and always wondered if this can be replicated easily through overlays and effects in Illustrator. I would like to keep text editable and the only method I'm aware of is compound shapes and exclude using Pathfinder, which isn't ideal.Thanks in advance

Hi!I'm an artist and I really need some help. I am in dire need of a new computer that supports Adobe CreativeCloud and Adobe Illustrator. I thought it was going to be simple to find one but I keep getting mixed reviews and there are so many options and details to consider. I just got out of college and I need to be careful with big purchases...and I am nervous that I'm going to waste my money on the wrong device. I am getting super overwhelmed with this whole process so if anyone can give me advice or recommendations I would really appreciate it. Heres where im at:I know that I do not want a Mac device. Right now I have a Surface Pro (which I absolutely love)  but it is really old and does not meet the requirements for Adobe. I would love to get an upgraded Surface Pro but a lot of the newer Surface Pro's have the Snapdragon/ Snapdragon x Elite processor and I don't understand if that is compatible with Adobe Illustrator. I understand most of the system requirements but

I thought this was an obvious bug and it will get fixed quickly but this was a couple of versions ago... Why does the black arrow acts irregularly like a white arrow?Meaning... I have the black arrow selected and a group of objects, I'm zoomed out, I want to drag this group to another position on the page, but illustrator keeps selecting single points, so I'm dragging single points out of a single object instead of the whole group  - which is usually what a white arrow does, not the black one. .. Why? What is this?It's pretty annoying and stops the workflow.

Before I pull my hair out and have to spend hours starting again I wanted to find out if there was a problem, or I am missing something (which ios possible as I don't regularly use Illustrator). This is the second time I have saved I have saved a file in Illustrator Beta over the past few days, but when I go to open the file the next day there are missing layers and all the assets are gone.  I had spent hours getting the file to where it was yesterday, which was almost print ready, and I don't want to have to start it again as my friend is waiting on the file. Also note that whilst I can click on the tool icons on the left, the screen icon remains as a Pencil and does not do anything, so I cannot edit the artboard even if I wanted to. Does anyone have any idea of what I have done, or how I can recover the layers/assets?

Hello everyone. For the past few days, I've been having a problem displaying transparencies in Illustrator 28.7 on my PC. When I click on ‘Preview’, a white rectangle appears. To view the transparency correctly, I have to disable the GPU, which affects the application's performance. Has anyone else encountered this problem and found a solution? Thank you.

Does illustrator extendscript have an event listener?I need a certain function to be activated when a object/group is selected.I am planning to actually use this in cep extension, it will be some change in UI depending on number of selected objects. 

 Can someone advise?I have a shape, that is filled solid with black. It has reduced opacity.It has a weird jagged stroke, evn though I dont have a stroke applied on it.I have changed to different layer, and still shows. I have restarted all, and still shows.Can someone advise?

I had this issue in the past. System fonts not showing up in Illustrator. I just migrated to a brand new machine and most of my Google Fonts installed on Windows 10 do not show up in Illustrator. Some of them that do show up, have display issues. I just contacted Adobe support, but they cannot provide support (so they say) as these fonts are "third-party" fonts and they are "unable to provide the troubleshooting". They asked me to contact Google directly. Since all these fonts show up in every other Windows 10 app I have installed on my system, this is clearly an Adobe issue. I prefer using my (non-cloud) system fonts, as I had three instances in the past, where Adobe just randomly dropped fonts from the cloud (licensing issues with thrid party font providers?) and my documents were left with a missing font. This system is too unrealiable for me, so I prefer to keep fonts on my local machine.Another issue that I have: some fonts that do show up in the list suddenly and quite

I am having a recurring issue when I am trying to print out something tiled from my HP Officejet Pro 7740 printer, which I have set in Illustrator's print set up to be not double-sided. It always prints double-sided anyway. Totally useless for a tiled mockup to be double-sided. I do not know where I can even look to further assure that it prints single-sided, since the only place that I know of to toggle that setting on and off is set already to off. Thank you, and sorry if I am missing something terribly obvious! Has anyone else had this issue? 

Hi, Im not able to find the fillinger script in adobe illustrator, i dont see that option can some one help.

Hello, On my new computer, also using Windows 11, the toolbars are really really small.I tried increasing the display magnification to the maximum (300% from the recommended 200%), which made a little difference. Changing the screen resolution didn't help.  How can make the toolbars big enough to read?

A client has sent several illustrator swatch libraries that I need to be in a CC library so they are usable in other programs. Is there an easy way to do this other than manually adding each swatch??  Or is there a way to have swatch libraries in Photoshop? - I can only get them to add to main swatch palette and that is not going to work for me.Thanks

This looks like a new visual bug. There seems to be a problem with the way Illustrator is displaying clipping masks. It has only started happening recently.  The image below is taken from a file that worked fine before. The wavy lines are contained inside a clipping mask (the same shape as the blue section). I have included images of the lines outside of the clipping mask (above) and inside the clipping mask (below). Any separate objects placed behind this clipping mask have a section missing (see black shape behind). The clipping mask and the black shape are completely separate. The black shape is just a rectangle.  This only happens with clipping masks that had been created in the past. Any newly created clipping masks do not have the same problem. However this is quite a big problem for us as we have hundreds of files, each with multiple clipping masks. It won't be possible to recreate them all. This is only a display issue. Any exported images don

Is there a way when searching for similar fonts in the character menu to get them to show as Regular weight instead of showing them in the thinest weight  possible?

Hello to All, My Illustrator is displaying the short instruction videos without me even hovering over any tools. Often times I have to go and hover the mouse over the video for it to go away; the videos don't even disappear when I've got the artboard in presentation mode - so annoying!Has anyone else experienced this and managed to... MAKE IT STOP?! ;D

I'm having problems starting with version 29.8.1. When I manipulate artwork that I already have saved on my PC, it opens with parts of the artwork displaced, logos off the artboard, the background displaced, and parts of the logos spaced out. However, returning to version 29.7.1 magically returns everything to normal. What could be happening?

Question about Adobe Fonts licensing and delivering files to clients Hello, I have a question regarding the use of fonts included in Adobe Fonts. If I design a logo using a typeface available through Adobe (with my active subscription), I understand that I am allowed to use it freely in my projects. However, I would like clarification on a few points: 1. As a designer, when preparing a logo, fonts are usually converted to outlines, so they can no longer be modified or edited as text. In that case, does the client who receives the final logo still need to acquire a separate license for the typeface if they will use the logo commercially (stationery, signage, website, etc.)?  2. Would the client face any legal issues if they don’t have an Adobe Fonts subscription, considering that what they are using is only the final logo I deliver (already vectorized or as an image)?  3. As part of the final delivery, many clients request the editable files, for examp
