Questions

Bought a Roland BN-20.  Using Illustrator for my graphics.  I have downloaded and installed the Roland VersaWorks Swatch from their website.  When I save as either a PDF OR EPS, the file will not load into the queue and says the file is corrupt.  When I load a JPEG file that has ZERO cut/contour lines, the image loads perfectly fine and will print.  This tells me there is an illustrator issue, NOT a printer cutter issue.  Seems like this is the spot to ask for help.  I've had a number of "experts" help with this and nobody seems to have a solution.  All help is welcomed.  I am using Illustrator 2021 from our Creative Cloud Desktop.

I have a very basic jsx script for illustrator that shows a window. It has two buttons, when you press one of them the window closes. But for some reason it runs the script again that creates the window, if I run the same script from within the Extended Script editor toolkit linked to illustrator it runs the same script to build the UI once.I have tried running the jsx script from the main menu and also as an action and both ways will appear ti run the script again once the UI is closed.

Hola, tengo problemas con la nueva actualización, cuando abro el plugin Silhouette Connect el illustrator se friza, tengo actualmente el softfware macOS Sequoia, Illustrator 2025 y el plugin V2.0.058 que es compatible con las versiones mencionadas anteriormente. Si alguien sabe solucionar el problema se lo agradecere!

Starting roughly the beginning of this year all my Illustrator files change while they're closed! The most common thing is images are moved all around or effects like dropshadows will have changed settings. It's so annoying, I just want my file to stay the way I designed it. It's causeing a lot of rework to be done. Has anyone else been having this issue? I've tested the files by packaging them and even zipping them and even the zip files shift while closed. I've tried files that are on my desktop and ones stored in a cloud storage. It's not my computer, it's perfectly up-to-date. Any solutions out there or can we get this bug fixed soon please?Thank you!

Trying to rotate multiple objects all on their own central axis at the same time,a big time saver would be to be able to select them all, then choose rotate tool and option to rotate on own axis, so instead of all the objects rotating around one central point, they all rotate on their own central axis... big time saver for me if this is possible,, its very useful for me with things like,twigs, leaves, grass, many other shapes where I want to angel  them all in another direction but only swivel on their axis not around one pivot axis...

Hi all- Everytime I open illustrator I am now facing a new issue. I get a dialgot box with a JavaSCript Alrt. It states: Error: aborted.  I can click OK but it will keep popping up forever. There is no way to get rid of it, even after a restart.  Not sure what has caused this, anyone else?

Hello!I don't know how I ended up with this tiny little arrow appearing when I select my Shape Tool, but it's messing up all my shapes (ellipse, rectangle, etc.).This arrow normally appears when adding text to a path, which I did earlier, but now it just won't go away.I've already tried closing and reopening Illustrator, but the issue persists.Does anyone know how to fix this?Thanks in advance!

I've been creating art on Procreate, sending myself the PDF and trying to save into Ai but when I embed the image, Ai inverts the color. What's going on and how to correct this? 

Bonjour,  depuis quelque temps, certaines fonctionnalités de la sélection directe (A) semblent avoir été échangée avec la touche V. C'est le cas pour arrondir les angles, et l'outil ne marche pas aussi bien qu'avant... Que faire ? 

Bonjour, j'ai acheté il y a une dizaine de jours  un abonnement adobe illustrator.Quand j'essaye de l'utliser, on me propose de l'acheter. Il n semble donc pas activé. Comment faire? 

Hi,I am developing a plug-in for Illustrator that needs to handle custom data in the clipboard.I registered my plug-in as a new clipboard format handler.  When registering my plug-in with AddClipboard(AIClipboardSuite), I am using options with kClipboardCopy | kClipboardPaste to support copy and paste.The plug-in should receive several kinds of notifications: kSelectorAIGoClipboard, kSelectorAICanCopyClipboard, kSelectorAICloneClipboard, and kSelectorAIDisposeClipboard.Today the only notification I get is kSelectorAICanCopyClipboard when the user makes a copy inside AI. The other notifications are never sent. Since kSelectorAIGoClipboard is never sent, I cannot handle my custom data.Has anyone experienced this issue ?

How do I get rid of those??No matter what I do, it keeps selecting on of those if I resize my artboard to 1920x1080, when I want it to stay to "custom" ... I'm pretty sure I'm going to be told I have no choice, but I guess it's worth asking.Thanks.

No Adobe Illustrator para Windows, ao usar a ferramenta "Exportar para telas" com a opção "Usar nomes de prancheta" habilitada, a exportação para o formato .AI resulta em arquivos sendo salvos com nomes de prancheta duplicados , como este:Logo Vertical - Off White - Azul_Logo Vertical - Off White - Azul . aiO comportamento esperado é que o nome do arquivo reflita o nome da prancheta apenas uma vez , como acontece corretamente ao exportar para formatos como .SVG ou .PDF , o que resulta em:Logo Vertical - Off White-Azul.svgEsse problema ocorre mesmo quando o campo prefixo é deixado vazio nas configurações de exportação. O Illustrator parece anexar automaticamente o nome da prancheta duas vezes ao gerar o .AInome do arquivo, o que é inconsistente com a forma como outros formatos são manipulados no mesmo processo de exportação.Parece ser um bug específico da .AIexportação de formato por meio do recurso “Exportar para telas”.

Hi all,  I recently have gotten the issue that after I copy and paste in place (as well as a typical copy and paste) when the paste happens, the objects are no longer automatically selected. It used to work before, but now when pasting, it does the command but doesn't show a bounding box of the newly pasted object. Bounding box has been turned on, and works once the item is selected. I am not sure if I accidently pressed off a preference or something, but this is particularly problematic when I paste in back since its blocked by the more-forward object.  Has anyone else come across this issue?  Using AI Beta

I just used this file I have last week and exported 1200px by 1200px artboards at Medium (150) dpi. They came out, as usual, at 2500px by 2500px. Today, the same 1200px by 1200px artboards exported at Medium (150) dpi are now coming out 250px by 250px! This is not happening to other documents; just this one all of a sudden. Please help!
