Hi everyone, I wanted to ask if anyone knows how to create multiple blank Illustrator files from a CSV, using the following parameters: File name CMYK color mode Width in cm Height in cm So the idea would be to provide a list of 500 items, and have the program automatically generate the files with the dimensions specified in the CSV. Many thanks in advance!

I’d like some guidance, tutorials, or anything that can help me get started with Illustrator plugin development. Right now, I’m facing a lot of issues after looking at the sample code in the 2025 SDK, I feel overwhelmed because there are so many files. The plugin I’m trying to build is full of errors, and I’m not sure if it’s because I linked the paths incorrectly or forgot to include something. It’s all very confusing to me.

I am trying to create a gradient mesh from shapes I made with the pen tool. I know that there must be a way to do this but I can't figure it out.

When using the Eyedropper tool (I), Illustrator samples black instead of the visible color from an object (like a rectangle in your custom palette). The correct color only appears if you go through the Color Guide.Possible solution:A PNG image with transparency, even if it's locked in the Layers panel, can interfere with the Eyedropper tool. Illustrator ends up sampling a transparent pixel from the PNG rather than the color from the object underneath.Open the Layers panelTemporarily turn off the visibility of the PNG image (click the eye icon next to the layer)Try the Eyedropper again — it should now correctly pick up the underlying color💡 Even if the PNG is locked, Illustrator still “sees” it when using the Eyedropper. Visibility overrides locking in this context.Hope it's helpful!

I really don't need generative expand everywhere. Give us the option to disable these popups.This is bad & cluttered UI design, and at this rate every windows is gonna have these.   On top of that, the info button doesn't even do anything...  

Hello.Have been trying to create hyperlinks in Illustrator CC following the usual procedures of typing the full URL, using Slices etc. Whatever I do, it just isn't outputting clickable links in the generated PDF. Does anyone know of other methods or if there is something I am missing in the way I'm saving or something?Many thanks.

Hi,So this is one of those problems which im sure has an easy answer. I make sculptures and I want to do a design at full scale to use the new 'dimensions' feature. I want to then scale the whole design down to A4 but keep the 'dimensions' the same ie if a side is 2000mm I want the a4 scale to show 2000mm. I guess I can save the design as a png then paste it onto a new artboard? Is it possible to set dimsnions to a ratio eg  1: 10 then I can draw on an A4 sized artboard to scale? thanks, Jake

Hola comunidad, ¿cómo están? Tengo una consulta puntual: necesito utilizar una tipografía que no encuentro dentro de Adobe Fonts, y me gustaría saber cómo puedo agregarla a Illustrator para poder usarla en mis diseños. Agradezco mucho cualquier ayuda o sugerencia. ¡Gracias!

Hi Please someone help me. I created a symbol with my artwork and transferred it to 3D. Why is the symbol becoming so pixelated once placed? The original symbol is here left to compare:   

Hola amigos,  Quisiera empezar a trabajar con unas personas diseños en ilustrador pero cada uno en sus casas y que nuestro cliente nos envíe el trabajo a un solo lugar.  Alguna sugerencia para que ese modelo funcione?

It would be extremely helpful to find this out since most of our logo library that is created as a white logo when we are saving previews, you cannot tell from the preview because the background is white 

Hello i have a issue opening adobe programs, in all programs appears this message .help pleaseeee

Hi everyone! I've been checking the folders within my Mac's operating system (macOS Sequoia 15.5) and I've noticed two folders that refer to the preferences for Adobe programs, in my case ILLUSTRATOR. Both are located within the LIBRARY folder in the USERS folder and are different since within the LIBRARY folder we find the PREFERENCES folder and within this there is a folder called ADOBE and another named ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR. I think the latter is where the ILLUSTRATOR preferences are stored, but within the other one, called ADOBE, I find several folders, one for each ADOBE program I have installed and consequently there is also one named ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR. Well, within this one there are a bunch of folders named with different previous versions of ILLUSTRATOR, as you can see in the attached screenshot. Do I need all of these folders, or can they be deleted (I assume all except the one for the version I have installed...)? As always, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and prov

After exporting a design from illustrator to pdf, some of the text and images look blurry when opened. Even with high quality print settings. What'd be causing this? How to keep it sharp?

Hi,I'm troubled typing Bangla/Bijoy in my adobe illustrator cc-17 and cc20. I can type in other software eg. ms word, photoshop cs6.I changed the preference>type>indiac option but still now facing this type of worst situation. 

So how do I set a  scale for a flat, 2-D drawing in Illustrator? I know how to specify a page or panel/file size, and I can pick a type siz that's approprite, but how do I set a scale for the drawing itself?

Hello,I created a PDF file in Illustrator using multiple artboards—something I do regularly. However, with this particular file, I'm encountering an issue. When I open the PDF, I can see all the elements correctly. But when I open it in Illustrator, only the contents of the first three artboards are visible.I didn’t have any issues saving the file, and I’ve worked with larger files before without problems. This is the first time I’ve encountered something like this.I really need to modify the file, but this issue with Illustrator is preventing me from doing so. Is there any workaround or solution you can suggest?Thank you!

Here’s a clear and professional explanation of the solution for restoring Pantone Color support in the new version of Adobe Illustrator:---If you're using the latest version of Adobe Illustrator and noticed that Pantone Color support is no longer included, there's an easy workaround. By copying the Pantone color books from an older version of Illustrator, you can restore access to Pantone colors in your updated software.Here’s how to do it:1. **Locate the Pantone Color Books in the Older Version**:Navigate to the directory of the older version of Illustrator on your system. You can find the Pantone color books here:```Presets > en_GB > Swatches > Color Books```2. **Copy the Pantone Color Books**:Copy the entire folder or specific Pantone files from this location.3. **Paste into the Updated Version**:Now, go to the same directory in the updated version of Adobe Illustrator:```Presets > en_GB > Swatches > Color Books```Paste the copied Pantone color books into this fold

See video: The copied path was originally magenta... I changed it to blue.. then when moving to another layer, it is changing back go magenta visually, even though the property still shows blue. https://youtu.be/fjfXSymvIBI  I tried to upload the file, but the forum is telling me that my adobe illustrator (.ai) file: "The attachment's blue to magenta.ai content type (application/postscript) does not match its file extension and has been removed."

See video attached. My cursor wants to flicker any time I'm attempting to use scale and/or rotate. Using a $5,000 Mac so I don't think its CPU or hardware, definitely a software glitch. Any ideas?  Thanks. T

Since I updated to Illustrator 29.6 several days ago, I've realized that some of the Illustrator documents I saved aren't really Illustrator documents. They are, instead, PDF files without Illustrator editing preserved. Ugh! I didn't realize that Adobe had implemented a new feature where the Save dialog will remember the filetype last saved. The last step in my workflow is to save a small-as-possible PDF file to share with my sales rep and client. But then, when I start working on the next project, and create a new file from a template, when I save it, I have to be very careful that it is actually saving a .ai file instead of saving a PDF that I won't be able to edit later. I see lots of repeated work in my future. Thanks Adobe! Please make this "file type memory" a preference that we can turn on or off, as preferred!!!!

I'm trying to export a PNG of various versions of a logo through the Asset Export panel (see image below). I checked, and there are no hidden guides in the selection. When I try to export a PNG 8, most of the time, it doesn't work even though Illustrator displays a success message (see image below). I had to repeat the process several times before one of the files finally exported something (see image below). I've reset preferences and the problem still persists.Any ideas would be welcomed?

Im having trouble resizing font in the little slidebar that apperars when text is selected. Im also having other minor issues regarding ipad version and the app is up to date. 

I'm adding this hyperlink to an object using the attributes panel:https://www.google.com/maps/place/39%C2%B009'25.3%22N+84%C2%B024'16.9%22W/@39.1554966,-84.4155797,14.54z/data=!4m4!3m3!8m2!3d39.1570278!4d-84.4046944?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MDcwNi4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D But, when I export as a PDF, the clickable object goes to this URL: https://www.google.com/maps/search/39.440534,+-84.327643?entry=tts&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MDYwOC4wIPu8ASoASAFQAw%3D%3D&skid=c79482a6-194b-4ec8-9815-bebb1db7418c  I've linked to the second URL in the past, but never in this document. I have no idea how it even got into the AI file. This is happening on Chrome & Edge, which are the two main browsers I use. I also have to fix this within illustrator (not using Acrobat), because I'm working with a large number of documents and need to streamline.  Couldn't find anything about this online... This is such a weird issue, I don't even know where to begin on how to fix it. Can an

2 yıldır kullanıyorum, ayarlarımı kontrol ettim ve hiçbirini değiştirmedim yeni versiyonlar ile sürekli güncel tutuyorum ambalaj kutu tasarım sırasında gecikme gibi sorunlar yaşıyorum.  Fare işaretçisi kontrol edilemiyor bunlar son zamanlar sıkça karşılaştığım sorunlar.
