Hi all, I am drawing a 2D sketch for my clothing line.  But i have a problem with filling  the colors in. i think i made a bit of a mess with the drawing, but i have really no clue how to solve this. i just have the program a few days and spend alot of time on drawing this. Can someone please help me out? Thanks in advance. Nick,

Currently Adobe Illustrator automatically and arbitrarily converts text parts to outlines, making these parts not editable nor selectable. It's not related to fonts, because that font is on my computer, and, other text parts that has exactly the same font are editable and not converted.It's just because of the code point. For example, in term `∀𝑥`, the ∀ (U+2200) is editable and 𝑥 (U+1D465) is converted to outline. I really dislike this arbitrary behaviour. If compatibility is considered critical, the program should at least give an option to allow us the users to choose whether to convert them to outlines  

Hi Adobe team, I’ve noticed that recent updates to Illustrator have changed the thumbnail background in CC Libraries to white. This has made it very difficult to see white or light-colored graphics, especially logos or icons, since they blend into the background and become almost invisible.Previously, the transparent or darker thumbnail background made it much easier to preview and organize assets — especially when working with branding files that include white elements. Our ideal use for Libraries is to quickly navigate branding elements like logos, icons, and design components. This feature has always helped us work more efficiently and stay organized. However, now that we can't see the thumbnails for white graphics, it's significantly slowed down our workflow and made visual navigation much harder. It would be incredibly helpful to either:Restore the original transparent/dark background, orAdd an option to toggle thumbnail backgrounds (light/dark/transparent) Tha

I need help or I need Adobe to fix their app because for the past month I have been fighting with this message. I am constantly losing or having to remake files/artwork that took hours to make to begin with. I have been saving as I go and all of a sudden this message will appear. I'm losing WORK files. I am losing valuable time, deadlines are being affected, HOURS OF WORK IS POINTLESS.  I followed the steps it says and nothing is being resolved. I keep having the issues. I have tried saving as an SVG file when this message appears but it is making my worked harder to complete. This shouldn't be happening to begin with.  What am I supposed to do?

Hallo liebe Community, ich habe folgendes Problem mit Illustrator. Ich kann seit ein paar wochen nicht mehr an den Ecken Größer und kleiner skalieren was echt ein Problem ist. Normaler weise zeigt er mir, wenn ich mit der Maus auf den Ecken gehe ein Pfeil an, dass ich größer und kleiner saklieren kann der wird mir nicht mehr angezeigt. Woran kann das liegen? Könnt Ihr mir da bitte weiter helfen?

I like this image and don't want to straight up copy/steal it. Is there a way to EASILY get all dots and all possible connections drawn in Illustrator? I'd hate to manually draw hundreds of lines. Thanks for any help you might offer.  

Why is selecting characters like letters or numbers in Illustrator so complicated? I have to be surgically precise every time just to move a word or a number.

Is there a way to select multiple anchor points in a shape, delete them and have the shape remains closed? I know I can use the delete anchor point tool, but this can only be used on one anchor point at a time. Using the lasso tool, direct selection tool, you can select multiple anchor points and delete, but it breaks shapes.

I run a mixed workload of RGB and CMYK documents.  One of the major drawbacks of Illustrator is the functionality of the eyedropper.  It's an RGB elitist and doesn't want to help anyone with CMYK.There I said it...the eyedropper tool is an RGB bigot.  It's the 21st century, c'mon Adobe...fix the tool. 😉

Hi everyone,I’m trying to find out if there's a tool or feature in Adobe Illustrator (or any other Adobe app) that allows you to convert expanded shapes into simple linework or strokes again.Once a shape has been expanded, is there a way to revert it or auto-trace the edges back into editable lines?I’m looking for something that can help clean up or simplify expanded vector graphics—almost like turning fills back into strokes.Any suggestions, tips, or plug-ins that might help?Thanks in advance!

I have an illustrator file that i can't open but others on my team can. I can open other illlutrator files so it seems specific to this file. I had them resave and I can't open that one either. I created this doc originally, was just opening to make edits, so at one time I could open it. I have the fonts etc. I cannot open the .ai file or the .pdf in illustrator that I created last time I saved. Not sure what the fix is. I get endless beachball, application is not responding etc. I have restarted. I can open other illustrator files so it seems to just be this one right now. 

Hello community members,I have an issue in which when I try to outline this squiggly stroke, it creates way too many points, especially up close. Smooth / simplify do not work for me as they affect the shape too much, without affecting the problem.Is there another way or anything I can do to make this as clean and accurate as possible?

Can not print anything from Illustrator, it just spits out 2 blank pages. Recently moved from a laptop running Windows 10 to a desktop running Windows 11. Didn't encounter this problem on Windows 10 and was able to print directly from illustrator. I can print if I save toPDF and then print but this adds extra steps to printing, especially if I'm just printing a test to look at layout.  Running Adobe 29.5.1Running windows 11 Pro version 23H2 (can't update or I lose access to the company shared storage something with the NAS and SMB and 24H2 not getting along) 

Hello Team,When I create a 3D image and ungroup to make a color change to a particular word or letter, the image is no longer in 3D but 'flat'(for lack of the proper word). How am i able to make changes and revert back to the 3D image? or is there a better way to modify a 3D image to make color changes to a word or letter?see screenshots illustrating the 3d & flat files.

Hi all,I'm working on a packaging design in Illustrator and I need some help figuring out the best way to cut out text from two overlapping shapes that are visually layered but not merged.My setup:A blue background.A bird made of multiple path segments layered on top of the background.The two elements are separate but form a single visual unit.My goal:I want to cut out text from both the background and the bird together, so that the text becomes see-through when printed revealing the paper beneath.The problem:If I use Pathfinder > Unite, the bird and background merge, but it overrides the fill color — I lose the design.Compound Path causes cutouts where I don’t want them — likely due to the way it treats overlaps.Grouping doesn’t help because Pathfinder can’t cut through groups.I’ve also tried wrapping them in a compound shape and even a clipping mask, but can’t get it to act like one cuttable unit that retains color.What I’m asking:Is there a clean way to keep the bird and bac

Cuando deseo utilizar "objetos en trazado" Illustrator se cierra. Varias veces lo he intentado. When I want to use "objects on paths," Illustrator crashes. I've tried this several times.

Hello everyone. I am planning to create various printable designs using Illustrator and sell them on an online site. I don't know if consumers will print these designs with their home printers or somewhere else. Also, consumers may be in very different places like USA, Europe. In this case, which profile should I create the design in (currently Coated FOGRA39) and should I select "high quality print" or "press quality" when exporting the design as a pdf? Or should I create another setting that is specially created as "include all profiles" or something else? I am confused. Should I check "embed icc profile" when exporting this design as a jpeg again?On the other hand, is it unnecessary to send the design directly as a pdf along with the jpeg? I think it can be printed in the desired size this way, and yet, I am planning to send separate sizes in a single pdf, is this unnecessary? In terms of jpeg/pdf, I see that some designers put the jpegs in the pdf, if I understand correctly. W

I have several spot colors saved in my cloud library.  When I share that library with others in the company, those colors are converted to CMYK values and lose the spot color.  Is there something that I need to change in the way I'm saving them? I appreciate your help.
