Questions

I have a Intel Ultra 9 & 5070ti and yet my illustrator runs like i'm working on a laptop of 15 years old. Whatever I do brings illustrator in the (not responding) state and I have tried some of the advised solutions on internet but nothing seems to work. I have updated it and the latest version is installed.

Hi. After logging out and in, uninstalling and reinstalling, restarting my ipad and my mac, I am resolved to asking for any knowledge or resolution anyone may have on this subject. I need to copy an image to illustrator desktop, but when i do share > open a copy > illustratory desktop, I get a "Export failed" note in a little blue box on the screen. It's become rather frustrating. Another problem is that when i resolve to export manually, the image I'm uploading can't be made into a repeat. The options for radial, grid, mirror are greyed out. I have done image tracing to turn the raster into a vector but this does nothing. It was working, then in one day, it stopped.I would greatly HUGELY appreciate a fix, or at the very least, a promise from the Adobe team that these issues - if technical, and not due to a lack of adobe graphics knowledge on my part - will be sorted and an update with the fixes be made asap. Thanks

I have separated countries from a singular world map SVG into individual SVG assets.Workflow:Joined countries into groups using the shape builder toolDeleted artifacts from shape builder tool and general cleanup.Turn all grouped countries into compound pathsSeparate each compound path into individual named layers at the root of the artboardExport Issues facedShape builder doesn't automatically make compound paths, and instead groups multiple objectsNo easy tool to join simple touching SVGs without creating MANY artifacts Exporting SVG using "asset export" nests even a single path in a <g> tag, but exporting individual artboards does not. SVG ID and sometimes Group ID populate with "Layer_2" or "Layer_2-1", which do not exist in my Illustrator file.Classes are not assignable from export (Unless you use graphic styles)Graphic Style classes do not populate for inline stylingClass names are not assignable (regardless)Can't group elements to easily toggle hidden/visible

Hi,I'm new to Illustrator and trying to convert a phrase into a Raiders of the Lost Ark Style image as below. I need to angle and create depth and add the drop shadow as well as add the gradient.

Will there be any possibility to have ai agents in some of the adobe softwares, so that designer can use the softwares in a more effecient way ?

Hello! How can I make the logo/object at the bottom of this number become transparent? So you can "see through" the logo, replace the white with transparency.

i have designs with around 30 colours, with codes like these.  #009245 and #ec3744. The colours i use change a lot so i have to individually select all and group each color. I would like to know if there is already a script for grouping each color fill or adding each color fill to a different layer. I tried Meta to make one but it did not work :var doc = app.activeDocument;var items = doc.pageItems;var colors = {};for (var i = 0; i < items.length; i++) {var item = items[i];if (item.fillColor) {var color = item.fillColor.toString();var hexMatch = color.match(/(\w{6})/g);if (hexMatch) {var hexCode = hexMatch[0].toLowerCase();if (!colors[hexCode]) {colors[hexCode] = [];}colors[hexCode].push(item);}}}for (var hexCode in colors) {var layer = doc.layers.add();layer.name = hexCode;for (var j = 0; j < colors[hexCode].length; j++) {colors[hexCode][j].moveToBeginning(layer);}} Is there anything that is already made? I've searched but cant find anything that puts each co

On MacOS I've been used to `opt` + `arrow` for increasing / decreasing tracking and leading. But it seems to have disappeared with the same update that killed the `cmd` + `k` for keyboard increment. I've updated to 29.8, that brought back the latter, but the other has gone. To check if it were any other app, I've booted and run Illustrator as the only app or plugin, and it still doesn't work. I'm on MacOS 15.6.1 (24G90). Any suggestions?

I just installed Illustrator v29.4 and created documents very quickly. However, after restarting my computer, Illustrator created documents very slowly, taking about two minutes. After creating, the entire window shrank together.

I am trying to place a jpg with a clipping mask (created in photoshop) into illustrator. The clipping path is not coming over with the file. What am I missing?

Goal: I want to translate text within an .eps file.Currently, To achieve the goal I’m using an ExtendScript/JSX script, but it has to be run manually in Illustrator via File → Scripts → Other Script → select .jsx file.Query: Can this process be automated so it runs without requiring Adobe Illustrator to be installed? Is there any API available for this? 

Hello, Illustrator community! Maybe a clever mind out there knows how to do this. When creating print files from variables and data sets, is there a way to make sure the file name output is a variable? I would be great to use the file name from each data set to be named the same as the "filename" column and not as Data set 1, Data set 2, etc.  Example:ORG_1122.pdfORG_1133.pdfORG_1144.pdfORG_2211.pdf Br

 The print on the right is scaled as expected... the image was printed on US Letter paper The print on the left is printing the same image on 2.5x3.5 inch paper... note that it for some reason I don't understand it has scaled up a bit.. how do I figure out why this is happening and stop it so it prints unscaled.  

Hi guys, I'm having trouble with the illustrator app. The problem is that when I open any file and do some changes the saving process doesnt run. It just stays with the " * "  in the file tab as if its saved yet. It only happens in Illustrator.... PS, AF, etc work good. I tried to uninstall ann install it again but it keeps happening. If anyone knows how to fix it let me know. Thank you.

Will Artificial intelligence make Adobe Illustrator redundant in the future?

The keyboard shortcut for Create Outlines doesn't work.I need to use the menu Type/ Create Outlines. It's really annoying.I've tried to change the shortcut, open another document, but nothing worked. The other shortcuts using Ctrl and Shift work (like Ctrl + for zoom...).Usually, I select all the artwork (Ctrl + A) then Ctrl + Shift + O to Create Outlines. It doesn't work.Started at least a month ago.I'm using Illustrator CC, the most updated one.Could someone help me? Thank you!

Hi there,I’ve never come across this issue before, but when I opened my Illustrator file, a bunch of white boxes appeared. They’re uneditable, and I can’t seem to delete them. I’ve already tried expanding the appearance of the hills and rasterizing, but nothing works, the white boxes don’t become selectable or removable.Do you know what might be causing this, or how I can fix it?  

Hi all, I need you help today. I have received a multi page pdf file which contains a design to be laser engraved to a trophy.Unfortunately, I'm not able to only export the visible part of each artboard. Each time I try to export to svg, it exports all the objects on the document. There are a lot of clipping masks and hidden objects in the pdf, which I cannot hide from the export. Image shows how the pdf is imported.I only want the visible parts to be exported as svg.As you can see, there are hidden paths, clipping masks and objects:If I export the pdf to svg and use the "Artboard" option, it always exports all objects within the pdf. Is there any option to only export the visible part of each page in the pdf?I cannot remove or clip / crop each single part of the pdf as this would take forever.I will receive more than 30 different pdfs with this content.ThanksDaniel

Please!! somebody tell me how to deactivate that bar with the question mark on the bottom of the frame. Thank you!    

Was working on a complex file and knew that my next move was risky so I saved my file. A few minutes later after the file has saved I did a little too much and somehow lost the saved file as well. HOW? I actually have a screenshot showing the file with the saved file name from before the crash and now its completely gone. Im sorry but paid adobe products are absolute garbage in 2025 and pirated versions work way better and never crash.
