Hello, why have you altered the function crop an RGB image, with an icc-profil, to do this? This is, in my eyes, totally wrong.The embedded version of the image is in CMYK without icc-profil, when saved as a PDF. The result of this conversion to CMYK is a fault, and the result when offset printing the PDF is going to be wrong in colour.In version 28.7.6 is cropping an images just fine and not embedded. Mac Studio, M1 Max, Sequoia 15.4.1. (Text in the screenshot;  "When a linked file is cropped, a copy of the original is embedded. The original file in the linked location is not affected.") 

Hi, I have an issue with vector generation by Firefly. I have generated many vectors during this day but during the afternoon a bug occured. When i try to generate new content it says me that my adobe app is not authentic... (file in french uploaded) Have you ever heard of this bug ?

I have the latest Illustator and Photoshop version and in both of them the spacebar ain't working as quick hand tool on Mac.

Hi- I'm running into an issue where if I have multiple artboards in a file, save my file as an SVG, and close it, upon reopening the file all but one of the artboards disappear. The artwork is still there, and placed as if the artboards were still there, but the actual artboards have disappeared.  note that if I am not choosing "save to artboard" on the save screen. This only applies to those files that I save with multiple artboards. When I chose "save to artboard" each artboard separates into a separate file and there is no issue there. This only occurs when I have multiple artboards in an svg file.

Hi I'm trying to create a Mockup but my Illustrator doesn't show the option. Does anyone has the same issue?

Great to see the bullet feature finally being added to Illustrator, but how do I chnage the bullet color? Thanks in advance,Liviu

Hello, So we had a catastrophic failure on a file server that resutled in a lot of files being recovered. While we have some files that we know are lost, we are running into a reoccuring problem with illustrator files matching the file size of a previous backup but being 'corrupt'. This leads me to suspect that if there is corruption on these files, it's not by much. Is there any ways in which the community has found to deal with this issue? Obviously data recovery is tricky and there may still very well be data lost. But the disproportionately large amount of corrupt illustrator files leads me to believe there's something I'm missing. I've tried just importing these files with no success.

Heya!I haven't been able to find an existing answer, so here is my problem. I have a series of shapes that I need filled with a pattern; I also need the pattern to be scaled and rotated to be more or less parallel to the edge (see the rightmost section of image attached); the contour of the whole shape is one object, with divider lines added. It is separated into three live paint groups (left, middle two, right). I've filled the right section first, and immediately rotated and scaled the texture (via rotate and scale menus). I then proceeded to fill the remaining two sections; however now I can't rotate or scale them individually, the pattern within the entire shape moves.I've tried selecting the anchor points surrounding a section, using live paint select. I suppose I can break it into individual shapes, but I wonder if there is a more elegant solution. Thanks!

I am looking to accomplish a seemingly very simple effect.I assume this was created using an envelope distort.(Though if there is another/better way I am all ears!)However, when I use envelope distort, it comes out like this.I think I could resolve the issue by adjusting the mesh, but I can't break the handles apart.This is all especially frustrating because I can't seem to find anyone else with the issue. For example, here is a video of envelope distort being used with more extreme angles, and none of the issues I am having.How to Fill a Shape with Text Using "Envelope Distort" in Adobe Illustrator - YouTube Any advice?

I have a weird bug... I wanted to slighlty nudge some elements in a composition and was suprised when it deleted the elements I was trying to move. So here's the behavior I observed :When I press the right or up arrow key the selected layer disapear but it doesn't delete. I can still see it in the layer panel. And the left and down arrow brings it back... I attached a screen capture of the behavior.  

I have some artwork that i want to have the gradient follow the top part of the art.  The gradient should folllow the direction of the arrows ( i just put those in there for reference). 

This is all  that appears on my screen when I open my Illustrator app on my Macbook. These are the settings. Much help would be appreciated.    

I work with the SVG format a lot, creating and modifying icons.I was resizing a few SVGs today when I noticed this problem. You don't even have to make any changes to the file for this "bug" to corrupt your files. If you re-save the file simply by hitting Ctrl+S, your SVG will very likely have distortions and glitched out paths due to the precision that Illustrator defaults to on every startup of the application.BE CAREFUL when re-saving a modified SVG using the default File>Save after first opening IL. I'm pretty sure it's because Illustrator's precision for saving out SVG files has a default of 1 decimal place.This precision setting is reset to 1 after closing and re-opening Illustrator no matter what settings you have applied in the past. You can replicate this by opening a svg, nudging it maybe a pixel or two, and then saving it with ctrl+s. Re-open the file and then observe the obvious distortions.I am now terrified to think about how many SVGs I've warped after making modifica

I've paid for a subscription to Adobe Illustrator for years because I'm an illustrator. I like to illustrate. I like vector art especially. What I don't like is generative AI stealing from us, prompting me to try it while I'm working, or robbing me of freelancing opportunities. I feel like Adobe Illustrator is circling the drain. If Adobe wants to sell an AI product to losers who can't draw make it a seperate program and get it out of Illustrator. Leave us alone, let us draw. We never asked for this garbage.

I am using Illustrator Version 29.4 and I am not seeing the 'Text to Vector Graphic' option. Any help on how can i find it?

I'm working on creating marketing floor plans from architectural drawings done in Revit.  Am I simply missing the shortcut to box deselect objects from a selection without reselecting new objects?Is there an option I need to check in the settings somewhere? Here is an example of the function I'm describing in AutoCAD:https://autocadtips1.com/2011/08/02/deselect-objects-from-selection-set/ This is neccessary when I'm trying to move/edit/delete lines/fills (shapes) that are stacked and put them on separate layers.

I am experiencing an issue when exporting JPG files using Illustrator, I am able to successfully export the JPG files to my computer folder. However, when I share the exported JPG as a document via WhatsApp, the recipient is unable to view it on their mobile device, although they can view it without any problems on a PC.Could you kindly assist in resolving this issue, or provide guidance on how to ensure the file is viewable on mobile devices when shared through WhatsApp?Thank you for your assistance.

I have a subscription, but ever since 2020 I cannot save as the more recent versions. I just opened up a file using the latest version of Illustrator and these are my save options (see screenshot). It used to not bother me but now it's 5 years old and I'm paying for the latest version, so why can't it save as the latest version?

I have been struggling to find a way to do the following in javascript: 1) Open an .ai file that contains a shape (in this case its a warped rectangle)2) Place a PNG file3) Move the PNG file below the warped shape4) Perform an envelope distort (Make with Top Object) on the shape + PNG file This seems stupid simple, but I can't figure out a way to do the Make with Top Object envelope distort using javascript. Any help would be amazing. Thanks!

I'm not a daily user of Adobe Illustrator so I'm not that experienced. I mainly create logos to use for screenprinting and embroidery projects. To do this I use Simulate Colored Paper to represent the garment color. I've recently started having the issue where AI changes the color of my imported logo to whatever my simulated page color is. For instance, I have a white logo that I can't see unless I simulate the page color. As soon as I change the page color, the white logo I imported changes to the same simulated page color.Any help would be appreciated.

All day, everyday, I'm let down by this product I have no choice but to use. We are back to the early 90s where you have to save your work after every single operation. Thanks, Adobe 🙎 Please do not reply with questions about what I was doing. It doesn't matter. This thing crashes on its own whims now. Each new update brings its own set of horrors.

Illustrator changes the image resolution on its own when placing it , but not all the images !!I placed an image  with 300 ppi into illustrator and it changed to 72 ppi, that of course changed the size significantly.P.S. - I used place command in file menu, i dragged the image directly to illustrator and used the open command in file menu, same result - I checked the page resolution and the document raster effects, they both 300- I tried another vector software it didn't change the image resolution.- I saved it as TIFF from photoshop (which read the size and resolution correctly) and illustrator got it right !! but i need it jpg !!So, what could be the problem here ??

I'm having issues with a spot color. I need to print something on a press.  It was advised that I change the logo colors to all one shade of green and then set the green to a different color percentage so that my press guy only has two screens to burn (one for red and one for green). But I'm not sure how I acheive the correct colors of green when I change the color percent.  The logo is attached below. It was advised that I change it all to the darkest green and then change the percentage but I can't get the correct colors of green when I do that.  Help!!
