Hello I was about to post, and thanks to chat gpt I've had a working solution. Just posting so users can find the solution for themselves later on Script is on second post 🙂 Cheers pals!This script will rename the artboards in the active document by using the name of the document and adding a suffix number. The suffix number will have a fixed width of 2 digits and be zero-padded if necessary. For example, if the document name is "Myfilename.ai", the first artboard will be renamed to "Myfilename 01", the second artboard to "Myfilename 02", and so on.

Whenever I open Adobe Illustrator, it always has an error message and needs to be closed. I have attached the crash report for reference.Later on, it recommends resetting my preferences. This happens every time I open Illustrator and nothing changes. I am stuck in a loop.I tried reinstalling, didn't work. I tried unchecking the “Read-only (Only applies to files in folder)” in the AppData > Roaming > Adobe, it also didn't work.Is there another way to fix this? Thanks!

I am having trouble uploading images to my adobe illustrator app on my iPad. This started about a week ago. It shows an outline but not the actual image. 

I need version 28.x for windows 11 and its not available in the cloud. because a critical Cutting Master Pro Plus plugin used with my Graphtec Cutter is not compatible with my current Illustrator workflow. Illustrator 2024 is no longer visible under Other Versions in Creative Cloud. Please provide the official installer or escalate this request to the download and installation team. Please Help!

I'm hoping that there is a way to hide the bright blue Gen AI button in the toolbar. Just my preference to see it go as the bright blue is very distracting.Thanks

Yesterday, after working in Illustrator for a few hours, the program began to crash frequently. I was prompted to send the error report to Adobe then the program closed itself. This would happen every 10-15 minutes, but as the day went on, it became more frequent. Now, I can maybe work for about 10 minutes before it crashes, but many times it will crash right after opening the program and before a file is loaded. The error report says it’s an unknown exception and does not really help.I am on version 29.7.1 and cannot upgrade because I’m in a professional environment where every computer needs to stay on the same version of the program. I haven’t made any changes to my PC or installed any new software. Graphics drivers are up to date and have been uninstalled/reinstalled. I have reinstalled Illustrator and Acrobat with no success. Does anyone know what may be happening?

Ive been running into an issue where this happens alot… i sort of come to a conclusion that it has something to do with color space, but even when the color space is correct, this happens when zooming in and out or when i use the hand tool to move my work space about… if anyone has any details / solution to help me sort this out, it would be appreciated.

Scripting has become very popular through the use of AI to create and edit scripts for Illustrator.This week, Astute Graphics launched its scriptable plugins updates. This brings 20+ important new functions to Illustrator scripting including:Super Smart Remove Points Remove Unneeded Points Remove Redundant Points Remove Duplicate Art Rejoin Paths Close Barely-Open Paths Align Close Points Axis-Align PathsThis is in addition to the recent update to the Astute Manager allows scripts to be easily installed, managed and shared across teams.We understand that Illustrator scripting still has voids which stop scripts from accessing certain features such as:Live Effects are not properly scriptable Opacity masks are essentially inaccessible The Appearance stack is poorly exposedRegarding Effects, we looked at this and found ways to control Astute Graphics plugin-based effects. As our plugins also control native effects such as Drop Shadows, Blur, etc. via a panel, it’s possible that we can exte

When I double-click the icon on the layer in PS Smart, a message appears that the program that created the object doesn't exist. The fact is, Illustrator 2025 stopped working, and I had to install Illustrator 2026.I'm working on Windows 11.Needless to say, this could result in the loss of a significant amount of my work over the years.

The Color Guide panel does not update harmony rule previews when changing the base color. All rules (Complementary, Analogous, Triadic, etc.) display the same colors regardless of which color is selected in the artwork. The previews only correct themselves after clicking on each individual rule.Environment:Mac Mini M4 Illustrator 2026 (v30) and Illustrator 2025 installed simultaneously The problem occurs exclusively in 2026 — 2025 works perfectly on the same machineWhat was attempted without success:Reset of Illustrator 2026 preferences (renamed folder at ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator 30 Settings/) Uninstall from Creative Cloud + Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool + clean reinstallAdditional notes:The issue appears with all documents, not just specific files The top color strip in the Color Guide panel does update correctly — only the harmony rule list previews are frozen No identical reports were found in the community prior to postingHas anyone experienced this or found a wo

I keep trying to insert images from my iPhoto library into new and existing projects and it’s just coming up as an empty rectangle. I’ve tried restarting the app and the iPad, have even waited overnight and it’s still doing it. I’ve never had this issue before. 

I remember I was always able to click and drag to select multiple items, and use the mouse wheel to quickly scroll down the page to select more. This allowed my selection box (the dotted outline) to expand as far as I needed it to. But now when I try to scroll while selecting, I move my selection box instead of expanding it.

 I'm on Sequoia 15.7.3 and Illustrator 30.1, working on a 2025 iMac.  I can't seem to get the Tilde key to produce copies. Are there shortcuts I've forgotten or am missing?

Despite installing the English یدعم العربیه version of Illustrator and enabling both the Indic Options and the Middle Eastern and South Asian Single-Line Text Composer, I still don't have the RTL (right to left) text options for Arabic. As a result, the dots and symbols at the end of the text are appearing on the right side instead of the left. Can anyone please help?   In the screenshots you can see my seetings as well as the text. I am using the most up-to-date version of the illustrator (28.6) as of 2024 Aug 20th. MacBook Pro 13-inch, M1, 2020, MacOS Sonoma 14.5  

Hi! my vendor is asking me to create designs so they can copy the patterns from my AI work. I have attached what they are requiring but I have no idea where to start! Can anyone assist please?  

Heya! We are a small team which contains a few graphic designers. These designers create Illustrator files containing the font Inter. We can’t really change this font since it’s our client’s must use font.When the graphic designers open these files, they have absolutely no issues. But when the rest of the team opens them, they can see the text boxes displaying the right font but when they go to see the font used and determine if it’s the light or the regular version, the box is completely blank. It also just happens with the font Inter, all the other ones display their names with no issue.We have tried desinstalling Illustrator, making sure it’s the latest version, desinstalling the font, installing different types of fonts files for Inter, opening the file locally and in our One Drive.We don’t know what else to try :(

The problem came up at the agency today, and it took us hours to figure out why the print shop kept rejecting our PDF. (We needed the stroke for a cutline)At some point, we found an answer online stating that outline strokes are only exported as such if they are aligned centered. Otherwise the object will be exportet with filling and no stroke at all. But why is that the case from a technical standpoint? Wouldn't it be helpful to receive a warning message during the export process?We just want to understand how this is working. Thanks in advance!

I'm trying to make a label appear to wrap around a bottle from a front on view, like looking at it square on from the front. None of the Warp options seem to do it (please correct me if I'm wrong). I've tried Envelope Distort using Make with Mesh, single row, multiple columns, adjusting accordingly, but the words on the label look distorted. I'm thinking there surely must be an easy way to do this in Illustrator. Does anybody know?
