I created 18 artboards, each vary in detail. I then attempt to save each as a seperate .AI file:File < Save as <  Save as type (*.AI) < Save.Illustrator Options - I check "Save each artboard to a seperate file" < All < OK.The problem is that each artboard is not saving as a seperate file. Each seperate file contains all 18 artboards. See screenshots. How do I correct this so that each artboard saves as a seperate .AI file?   

 I need to view somewhere in the Illustrator interface, the value set in the "raster effects settings" panel.Is there a scripted way to implement this?I've created actions that set this value to 72ppi / 300ppi so that I can change it when the document becomes heavy and unmanageable (thanks to using only 1 CPU CORE, thanks Adobe ❤).The problem is that if I save the file, I will probably save it at 72ppi, but for printing the effects are poor and you have to set them to 300ppi.So having the value always visible on the screen, I can have more control in knowing which value is set...The problem: Can it be done and how is it done?    

Hello, When I copy a graph from GraphPad over to Illustrator, the error bars have HUGE bounding boxes (like twice the size of the overall graph).  I can't make them the proper size using Transform > Resize Bounding Box.  Does anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it?  It means that I end up having to group the entire graph as soon as I copy it, then I can't ever ungroup it near another graph when I'm building figures.  This causes problems.  Thank you,Allison

Would like to understand what is happening here.  I have a PSD file and I flatten it to 4 layers then save the file (but leaving it open in PS)  > I go into Bridge , choose that same saved PSD file and open with AI > Save as AI file.  The resulting AI file size can be wildly different even thought the settings are the same and the file is saved the exact same way.   Example:PSD File is 2850 x 2850 @300 ppi first time I saved this as an AI file is saved as 648 x648 @300 ppi  When I did it again, same file, same settings, same everything, it saved as the same size as the PSD: 2850 x 2850 @300 ppi waht is going on here? thanks.

Not sure if it is a Mac OS issue or Adobe issue, but when I create some new image (could be jpg, psd, ai, or any file type) and then try to "Place" it into Illustrator, the image is greyed out in the import dialog. Weirdly, If I cancel, and just do Place again, then all the sudden, the image is available. Please don't respond with questions about what version of Mac OS or Adobe Illustrator I'm using, or other settings and the like. I'm just looking for an answer, not an interview. 

Looking for Pantone library in the new version of Illustrator and it's not there. Google it and AI says I have to> Window> Extension>Libraries>No go. Then Open Swatch Library> Color Books> no Pantone.Further- need to install Pantone Connect extension. Go to Illustrator help, got a link (thank you) and weed through a tutorial (I don't have time to browse). Scroll down to Plugin acquired, install using Creative Cloud and pop-up asking to allow website to open Creative Cloud Desktop App>OK> hit Install again, and it goes back to: allow website to open Creative Cloud Desktop App- over and over. Forget this- no time, I'm going to safari/google the pantone colors. Why does Adobe make things so complicated? I still need to access pantone colors for Illustrator. What am I doing wrong?

Adobe Illustrator is frequently lagging it takes time to respond. The dragging feature is not working. 

Please fix the bug!! I used to be able to open DXF files on Illustrator, but with the new update, I wasn't able to. The error message keeps popping up "The operation cannot complete because of an unknown error. [2067]". It's not my DXF file problem because I tried opening the DXF file that I previously successfully opened through Illustrator, but now it doesn't work. 

 Wanting it to look like 1 (pulled from canva).  Tried by using evelope distort> make with top object (image 3) and it  resulted in #2.  So basically just wanting it to "gather" tighter at the top.Thank you in advance!! 

各位好，我遇到一個 Illustrator 的問題想請教：同一個 .ai 檔第一次開啟時排版都正常，但關掉再重新開啟時，所有圖層內容會整體「往上偏移」，尤其是在有裁切區（artboard 或 clipping mask）和置入圖像的區域更明顯。我已經確認所有圖像都有嵌入（Embed），並非使用連結方式。請問這可能是什麼設定問題、還是某個版本的 bug 呢？有人遇過類似的情況嗎？🙏Hi everyone, I’m experiencing an issue with Adobe Illustrator and would like to ask for help:When I open the same .ai file for the first time, everything looks perfectly aligned. But after closing and reopening the file, all layer content shifts upward, as if the whole layout has moved. This is especially noticeable in areas that involve the artboard edges, clipping masks, or placed images.I've already embedded all images (not linked), so that shouldn’t be the issue.Could this be caused by a particular setting, or is it a bug in certain versions of Illustrator? Has anyone else run into something similar? 🙏  

I installed an Arabic Adobe font and after changing all the preferemces and I even tried changing the language. The font keeps appearing in english. What am I doing wrong?  

Hello everyone.I have been experiencing great latency in working with illustrator for a few days now.No upgrades of any kind have been made to either the PC or the hardware, but for some time now I have realised that the software has become unusable. You only have to watch the attached video to realise this for yourself. Here I was doing a simple drag and copy of the red dot.Is anyone in the same situation as me?I take advantage of the post to also ask if there is any configuration or way to set up illustrator to make the pdfs I import as a background on which to do my references and illustrations lighter and more manageable. The following are my PC configurations:Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-9900K CPU @ 3.60GHz, 3600 Mhz, 8 cores, 16 logical processors(RAM) 32.0 GBNVIDIA Quadro P2200  

For the past week my arrow pointers at times, when over tool bar or the File, Edit etc. bar turn into a small circle with four pointers, a bit like a target. Any ideas why?   {Renamed by MOD}

Help! I made a set of playing cards in Illustrator. My artboard size is 58x88 mm. To send it to the printing company I had to make one big file, which means I have 432 artboards in one document. There guidelines state I need to safe it to PDF/X-4:2008. Every time I export the size of my artboard changes. If I check te size in Acrobat it states 291 x 321 mm; but according to the printing company my PDF is 5,8 x 8,8 mm.  I tried different PDF settings, but it only exports to the right size if I use 'Illustrator Default'. I'm on a deadline, can someone tell me how to fix this. Thanks a looot!

How to Create Dress design 

When the number of paths is extremely high, the view preview and operations become very slow and errors occur. Could you add a feature to improve rendering speed by reducing the preview quality? I really need this feature. Thank you

How to create a digital Token in Adobe illustrative

I need super help.I'm having a problem with my Illustrator. I use version 26.1, but this problem has already happened on another version and also on another computer. When I open some file created inside illustrator and I go to save it (ctrl + s) after making some changes, it doesn't know. Illustrator loads the save and shows as save complete (100%), after that I close the document. But when I go to open the document again, the document appears unchanged. I don't know how to solve this, but it's hurting me a lot, because sometimes I make a lot of changes in a single document, and I end up having to do it all over again. Can anyone help me?

I've gotta reopen this one ...I tried all the solutions -  > Object > Expand.. Nothing.> Object > Expand Appearances Greyed out. > Select > Remove stray points  Nothing. > Quit out of Illustrator. Reopened AI file. Nothing. Still the same effing message. Background: This was a Word .doc saved out as a PDF file, which I then opened in AI and did a create outlines.I un-grouped everything, unlocked everything. Can't move it. I can copy it tho, paste into a another layer in the same file. But I can't paste it into another AI document. Get an error message - 'Can't past the objects ..'Welcome ideas Illustrator-ers!
