I have a document with some large images that suddenly switches my view to CPU Preview shortly after opening, or sometimes when zooming. It'll freeze for a moment before switching to CPU, and GPU Preview will be greyed out. I was able to fix this temporarily by switching to Outline, saving, then closing and reopening the file, but it keeps happening regardless. Does anyone know what's causing this, or how to fix it?

Hi there people. I have a problem or more like something that i dont do right because im still learning... Anyway, the problem is : i want to make a card and print it. I have a .ai file from a friend of mine where i want to put a part of it in my card. Picture 1 : the original color from my friends .ai file.Picture 2 is when i put it in my .ai file, convert in pdf, run it trough destiller and bam... the color is gray .... and the weight becomes white. Somehow i cant find anyting on the subject... Have been searching for 3 days now ... Thanks in advance!Cheers.  

I'm working on an art project and trying to get it by a deadline, however, I seem to be coming across a certain problem that I have not been able to find a solution for.As you know the "line" option for the freform gradient acts like the curvature tool, and I use alt click alot to manuvre it. But when I stop working and reopen my file those sharp points I made turn into curves and I get a prompt saying that the color stops cannot be "edited, move, or deleted" because it would cause lines to intersect. What's confusing is why this is happening in the first place and I'm hoping there is a solution to this that doesn't involve me having to nuke the object and re-apply not just the gradient but the lines and colors.Please send help asap 

Just updated to 2025 Illustrator and now none of the versions I have will work? Also was having trouble with the Save function (hence the update)?

I have received a lot of .ai files from a client, and I was wondering if it possible to merge these files as artboards in a single illustrator file, the files I have are not pdf-compatible, so I cannot use the merge function from acrobat.I am using CS5, but perhaps it is also possible with CS4?

I know there a couple of posts about this, and there seems to be no simple way for the user to check the performance (And there should be...). But it's simple for other software, you can run Cinebench, Geekbench, or simply do time comparisons in render time. It's a bit harder with Illustrator because it's static. So mostly we're measuring how long it took to navigate around the screen. And I don't know if it was slow because it's taking a long time, reading, writing or rendering. To explain better:I need to upgrade 15 computers, so it would be nice to have something to compare the current situation, where is the bottle neck or perfomance issues: cpu, gpu, ram, drive speed?Does anyone have some sort of routine, maybe scripts or actions or a way they check it.

This has been driving me crazy!!! Im trying to make a mockup of a belt and in order to do so I needed to make holes inside the rectangle to show where the clasp goes. ISSUE IS no matter what I do to create those holes (wether its the shape builder tool or the pathfinder or even recreating the shape entirely) EXTRUDE AND BEVEL IGNORES THEM AND ESSENTIALLY JUST GIVES ME A RECTANGLE AS IF THOSE HOLES WERE NEVER THERE. Can someone please tell me what I Gotta do because I already updated illustrator, restarted it, expanded the shape, tried to see if it ignores other random shapes with holes (which magically it doesnt it only has an issue with this belt), etc.

I created an arts resume in 2023 and now and returning to edit it but I can only edit heading and not body text when using the ediitng tool. I don't remember what I did and have been away from Adobe software for some time. Any suggestions?  

Illy crashed and re-opened a restored file which I thought was complete -- so I saved it as my original file AND saved that as my backup. Then I realized that half the content was in fact missing from that file; weeks of work gone... And now, I have spent the past hour on Adobe's support who keeps telling me I should find the file where I saved it. Which is not exactly what I need. 🙂 He also claims that my recovered files are in DropBox, which I frankly don't understand since I've never used that service and I doubt that Adobe is using that platform for storage of user files, but he is not able to provide any explanation. He also told me sign out of Creative Cloud and back several times, which didn't appear to serve any purpose. So, what I despearately need to know is this: Exactly where does Illy store the recovery versions it automatically creates? I there any way for me to restore any of these versions? I found several answers on Google, but non

Hello,I am a CC subscriber, with the latest version of PS and AI, as they upgrade automatically. I run both on Windows 10.I am unable to go successfully through the following scenario:1. select a path in AI;2. grab & drop it in a design in PS ("place" it), so that it becomes a Vector Smart Object;3. double click on the Vector Smart Object's thumbnail in the PS Layer's palete, in order to further adjust the paths that comprise the Vector Smart Object.EXPECTED RESULT: the Vector Smart Object should open in AI; upon changing and saving it here, it will automatically update in PS.ACTUAL RESULT: (1) if AI is not running at the moment, it starts, but will not load my Vector Smart Object; the "home" screen of AI is shown instead; or, (2) if AI is already running (freshly started), its icon flashes in Windows' task bar, but my Vector Smart Object won't load either; the "home" screen of AI keeps showing instead.This was a crucial workflow in my work. Please advice.For the record, the exact

After Illustrator update generate text to vector not working properly - whatever text I prompt with it produces incomplete vectors as per image here ( should have been a dog with a bone ) In the preview whilst creating variations they look complete but when finished nothing is complete - many vectors missing ! Any ideas anyone how to resolve - restarted illustrator many times which made no difference !

I am encountering an issue with Adobe Illustrator (Version 29.2.1 - 64-bit). Whenever I use the software, it automatically crashes without any specific action triggering it. I would appreciate any suggestions or guidance on how to resolve this issue. ThanksHarsimran

In my illustrator, the properties panel on the right side disappeared. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but that didn't help. How can I get it to reappear please?

Перший раз встановив Illustrator і все було добре, але після другого запуску він зависає і навіть не встигає запуститися. Я шукав весь Інтернет і не міг знайти нікого з цією проблемою. Наче в мене є.

what to do? after update it is not displayed

Hi everyone!If anyone has any insight or suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it.My current "fix" was dowloading and using an older version of Adobe Illustrator, but a small error still arose with that.There was a change of the SVG code with no option to choose the former SVG code (which we need for our eProduct). Also other issues appeared when saving AI to SVG. See below:Clipping paths are handled differently (see screenshot "Example-Code)File format of the linked background images changed from JPG to PNGFile size from the linked background images increased significantly (won’t load when opening the SVG)• 4. Background image shifted, so things aren't properly lined up anymore (see screenshot "Example-ImageShift")

I must have pushed something or selected something in right click menu, but now even in the Selection tool I am showing all of my anchor points/nodes.  I have toggled show edges on and off. I want to see the line normal, without the anchors like when using Direct Select. Also the Show Anchor Points in Selection Tools is turned off. This happened mid use and I know it did it on a right click menu or some hot key.  Then when I go to the Direct Selection tool, I can see the adjsutable radii nodes now, but when I hover on an anchor or handle, the words telling me what I'm on is gone.

I have about 20 Diagrams of the same type and want to "automate" the process since I have to put in new data every month.I want to display the values of the bars next to them and I tried it with applying designs but the bars are not the correct length, also when the bar is very short it gets really messed up, how can I fix this?

Hey there, has anyone found a fix for this problem after the new Windows 22HD update? I print a ton of stuff from Illustrator via usb to my Canon Pixma Pro 100. However, after the update it seems like only my Adobe programs have been affected by this issue. Basically, when  I go to print in Illustrator the normal print dialogue still pops up (although takes much longer now). However, my issue is that when I click "Setup" to choose my printer settings, this dialogue now appears before the normal printing preferences window does, and again after, and as a result negates the paper size I just changed. Here's what my old workflow looked like:And now it looks like this:Does anyone have a fix to this? This is super frustrating and really slows down my workflow and apparently my computer. This window never shows up when printing from Chrome, just in Adobe.I also can't post on the Windows forums because they won't let me choose a display name, and every time I try to the page freezes
