Hola, tengo un problema ya que ilustrador cs6 ahora no me permite cambiar el tamaño de los objetos. Al tratar de hacerlo solo se mueve el objeto.

Wow!Banging my head against the wall trying change the color of the font to a Gradient. This has to be near the top of the least intutive processes I have experienced in several years. However, only after watching Monika's video from a couple years ago was I able to complete the task.Thanks Monika.

Hii everyoneI have this artwork that consists of outline strokes. I cant figure out how I can turn these outline strokes into normal strokes. Any thoughts?  

If I eyedropper a color from the vector art or pixel image I use to make a pattern swatch, I get the correct color. If I eyedropper (with shift held down) over a shape that is filled with that same pattern, I get the wrong color. Not sure if this is a bug or just a complicated color profile issue, but it occurs only in pattern-filled shapes, whether the pattern is generated from vector art or from an embedded pixel image. Anyone know what's going on here? I've attached a screencapture gif of me doing this, because I feel like I'm going crazy and I need y'all to see what's actually happening. The work-around is: I expand or rasterize a small shape off the artboard and fill it with the pattern, then color-select from that. With high-res images or complex vector art this can slow me down a little, but it works. It's just a baffling issue that's hard to catch and has lead to mistakes. Sometimes the color differences are less obvious than in this example. 

I found an odd issue with rotating elements around the centerpoint of a circle. To recreate the issue:Create a circleCreate a triangle with points aligned to the circumference of the circleRotate the triangle around the centerpoint of the circle  Theoretically, the points of the triangle should remain aligned with the circumference of the circle. However, Illustrator is shifting the tringle off the circumference. The issue is only visible at high magnification, but  causes issues when trying to create precise compound shapes.  I was able to recreate this issue across multiple machines, running Illustrator 29.7.1 and 29.8.1. No snap-to preferences are in use.  Is this user error I am overlooking, or is there an issue with how Illustrator is computing the rotation? 

Ive recently installed Cutting Master 5 and tried using it for the first time. I can't find any resources or help as to why the newest version of Illustrator locks up when I try to send a file to Cutting Master 5. All programs are up to date. Any ideas?

Hello everyone, I'm experiencing typographical issues with Illustrator. I open a file, make a change, save the file, and when I open it again, the font family of some text changes. I'd appreciate it if anyone has resolved this issue, which is showing multiple versions. Regards

hi, id like to try plugin with Illustrator Beta. Does anyone know about UXP beta? many thanks in advance

However, when I save the file as SVG using "Save As," the options "Convert fonts to outlines" and "Preserve Illustrator editing capabilities" no longer work. These features used to work before. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Illustrator multiple times, and I've also deleted the preferences, but the issue persists.What should I do?

Hello Adobe community,I am really struggling and not sure if it's a glitch or if it's something I am doing. My file is 8.5 by 11 inches and I have set bleed marks to 0.125 inches. The printing company I typically deal with asks for trim marks in order to print. For some reason, the PDF is saving with excessively long trim marks (see attached image). When I open the file in Adobe Acrobat and go to the document properties, the page size appears to be 17.67 x 20.17 inches (see attached image). I am also including images of the settings I use when saving the PDF. I tried creating a new 8.5 by 11 in document with the same 0.125 in bleed settings, pasting all the same artwork and saving as PDF with the same settings and it miraculousy works. Is this a system glitch? It will take me forever to do this with all the pages of the final file and I'm hoping there's a better solution. Please help!Thanks! 

Hello, Stroke changes shown only seen in Isolation Mode. It is not Outline mode obviously. But I cannot find how to fix it.  No colour, no stroke changes appean in, but filling is normal. When go to the isolation mode, stroke looks how I customised. When exit from isolation mode, it doesn show my update on the stroke.  Thank you in advance. 

Hi guys,Another bug in AI 2025 29.7.1 that wasn't in more stable versions like Illustrator 2020. Now, you can't place an image with an opacity mask within a clipping mask, without the outer corners of the clipping mask showing as white when placed on top of another object. It doesn't matter what shape the clipping mask is – it will turn it into a object with square corners with the excess being all white. Very annoying bug and very hard to work around when doing signage design etc., for client designs. You can see in the video, the image works fine within the clipping mask if there's no opacity mask on the image.Please fix this ASAP!Many thanks!

What is the trick for inserting guides using a Wacom tablet? Every time I lift the pen the guide moves.     <Title renamed by MOD>

Is there a reason why I have to constantly re-link assets from a shared CC library every time I open a project on a different device? Isn't that the entire point of a shared CC library?  So that we can share assets between collaborators and devices? Even if it's just me bouncing between my desktop and laptop - two devices logged into the same Adobe ID, both with access to the same CC account, and both with updated CC libraries - every time I reopen a file I have to go through and re-link all my library assets. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Nothing has changed.  Nothing has moved.  It's in the exact same place in the library it was last time.  I even have the library panel open before I open the file, just to make sure it has refreshed itself. Nope.  Still need to relink. What gives?

It seems that the Live Pencil Tool broke a small part of the Pencil Tool. With an existing shape selected, using the Pencil Tool to modify the path of said shape, the Pencil Tool line is now invisble while drawing/modifing the shape. Makes it very difficult to use.   <Title renamed by MOD>

Im not sure it this is the place to go for featcher requests but one that I would love to see is color gradient being added to live text. it is soo difficult to have to outline the text and create a compound shape just to add a gradient, and then have to undo everything because the client wants the wording changed. or redoing it when you forgot what the font was from an old document... I would like it all nativly, without plugins, if there even are plugins for this.

Hello 🙂Is it possible to make action which will place or paste something into specific Layer  (if i have few of them). I was trying to lock other layers and just leave unlocked the one where i want to paste my objects but its still trying to place it in same layer as it was from begining. I know its possible to make it on scripting but i would like to know if there is possibility to make it in action without scripting

I need a script for Illustrator that does the following:First path follows clockwise directionSecond path inside the 1. Path follows a countclockwise directionThird path inside the 2. path follows clockwise direction .... and this cycle repeats...To Illustrate what I mean see the picture:and this follows, depending on the amount of paths inside each other.Does anyone knows how to solve this?Thank you in advance!

Hi! When I save a document appears document info on the screen. Why?

This issue has been persistent since the August 2025 updates across all programs (or at least the ones I regularly use).  If I have Illustrator open for a while and come back to my project, the Libraries panel just ceases to work. At least it doesn't appear to work. I can't scroll through the panel, I can't click on anything, and I can't switch libraries. However, the panel is actually responding to all my movement, I just can't see it. It's like the panel froze as a facade and underneath it I'm actually interacting with all the assets. Sometimes I'll drag a graphic out and it's a completely different graphic from a different library. Other times when I'm lazy, and I can't scroll through the library, I just make my best guess as to where the colors or graphics I need would be and see what happens when I click.I usually have to quit the program and reopen it to be able to use the Libraries panel. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, I deleted the CC Library folder in

Hi everyone, I've been working on files with heavy 3D effects and today, they no longer open correctly. I had three files in which I was using a mix of "3D classic" and "Extrude and Bevel" features. While Illustrator was processing things very slowly when ever I'd make any change to a design with a 3D effect, I had no other major issues until today. I went to open up a file, and I got the message "Illustrator Could Partially Read This File. We recovered as much of the file as possible, but some content might be missing. Open to view the recovered file". When I'd open the file, all I'd see was flat images of anything I had saved on an artboard. All my artwork off of the artboards was gone, and I could no longer edit anything. I had five files I was actively working with. Two opened up fine, the other three had that message. All three had 3D effects in them so I assume that's the cause.  I chatted with a senior member of adobe support and he got into my computer remotely. Howev

At our school (MBO, vocational education), students (ages 15–25) use Adobe software to control machines such as the laser cutter.As instructors, we create new instruction videos every year to explain functions clearly. Some students manage well with text, but many benefit much more from visual material.The short, clear videos Adobe shares on Instagram are exactly the style that works.My question: Is there an Adobe archive or library with these kinds of short instruction videos, so we don’t have to produce new ones every year and students can learn from consistent, high-quality material?To give an idea of what we are looking for, here are some of the functions students frequently need support with:Converting images to vector pathsSetting correct line thickness for laser cuttingUsing color coding for cut/engrave linesBasic Illustrator navigation (artboards, layers, selection tools)It’s hard to imagine this doesn’t already exist.Thanks in advance for your help!

There are two images. One is round corner with hollow closed image & other one is round corner, filled rectangular image inside the hollow image. I used transform effect to equate the vertical & horizontal gap between them but it is not precise. Is there any other way to do so? file is also uploaded. Equate Gap
