Questions

I am a huge fan of the VariableImporter script. I was wondering whether I can trigger this script from ExtendScript. I'd be happy with running the default script, transposing the data and specifying the path to the CSV. I think I then need to be able to hit return twice for the script to run. Background: My workflow now is:- generate an Illy file with ExtendScript- run VariableImporter script manually to load a CSV- run some post-processing on the Illy file I guess I could write some ExtendScript code to load a CSV myself but I'm really happy with how VariableImporter works.Any help appreciated.

I am currently working on a project and my automated guide lines for object placement and spacing have disapeared. I am referring to the arrows (green) and lines (pink) for centering objects, text or images and for equally spacing them without using the alignment tool. Would someone happen to know how to reactivate this tool or setting as I have tried everything I can think and search for thus far.

I have a document with many elements, I am trying to copy some objects and paste into new layers to create slightly different designs for presentation. I copy the objects, create and name a new layer then 'paste in place' and have tried 'paste' and the item pastes back into the original layer. I have selected the new layer, I have locked the source layer and tried pasting, I have hidden the source layer and it still won't paste into the new layer, this has only recently started happening. I have been using Illustrator for over 20 years and am not a novice. I have tried everything I can think of but cannot create multiple layered artwork / designs. I can create new graphics in the new layers but just can't paste to them.Has anyone experienced this before? I am using CS6 16.0.4 installed from disks on a late 2013 27" iMac intel core i5 OS X Yosemite 10.10.3.Many thanks in advanceDavid

I am trying to save a file that has two artboards as a pdf. I click save as, use artboards, 1-2 artboards. When I go to open the pdf it shows 2 artboards but one of them is blank. If I go to open the pdf in Illustrator everything is there, but I need to show this file to my coworkers who don't have Illustrator. All of my layers are visible, the artboards are in the right place, I have updated my programs and I have also reinstalled them. I don't know what to do to solve this problem anymore and I couldn't find this issue in the forums.

Hello all, I am having trouble converting objects into shapes. I've tried everything I've seen online, Expand, Expand Shape, getting rid of any overlapping lines and nothing seems to work. There are no locked layers and I've even tried selecting everything at once and every object by itself. Any ideas or suggestions are much appreciated

I use to click on an object and drag to move it. While recently, after I single click on an object with out draging it, the object will automatically move with my cursor. Even I don't want the object to be moved. Another senario is that I clicked on an object and then I click on the canvas randomly, the object may automaticlly move to the point I clicked. How to solve this problem?

I am trying to crop a simple rectangle using the Illustrator crop tool and I cannot crop it to the size I want without getting a white border appearing on at least one edge. If I try to crop out the white border it just appears again. I think the issue was already brought up elsewhere, but has not been properly addressed or resolved.

What is going on?

UPDATE!!!ADOBE HAS FIXED THIS BUG Hi folksAdobe has been quick and responsive and fixed this bug in the version 29.0.1 updateGo to you CC app and you should see the version there under the update section. Thanks everyone for the team effort voting and posting to solve this bug.--- ------ --------- --- ------ --------- --- ------ --------- --- ------ --------- --- ------ ---------I’m here to post about the same issue I did in 2014.The Pencil tool has become unusable once again! It’s smoothing too much, even on the maximum accuracy setting (left first slider tick).Back in 2014, when Adobe rewrote the Pencil tool, you removed the previous numeric settings and replaced them with four ticks. All of them were too smooth and took too much control over the path, leading to imprecise bubbly and smooth drawings.I made a post about this back then, and Adobe was super nice to respond by adding a fifth lowest left tick with the previous lowest accurate settings, which

The align button is stuck on the 'align to artboard' setting. I have two items selected (a text box and a vector square) and it will not allow me to align to selection. It is "stuck" on 'align to arboard.' It was working perfectly when I started my project. The issue seems to have started after I went into the preferences and selected "scale strokes and effects" in the general tab.

I can make a document, put in any file I want and there is no issue, but as soon as I close it and re-open it, I get the relink error. Trying to relink the file gives me the same error, and ignoring it causes Illustrator to crash. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling and restarting my computer. No luck

Hello, how are you? I had a video call today to present a project, and when I went to open the file, I encountered the message "Illustrator was only able to partially read this file." The file is on my C drive. I had been working on it and saved it (the file was already saved; every time I make changes, I go to File > Save to keep the updates). After it was fully saved, I shut down my computer. Later, when I came back and opened it, this message appeared. I clicked to open it anyway, and the entire file is completely blank. I tried recovering the file through data recovery, but the folder is EMPTY. I updated Illustrator, but the same error occurred. I tried opening it in Acrobat, and it says the file is damaged and cannot be recovered. However, when I go into Illustrator, I see a preview of the project in the Recent Files section... I followed some advice I found in the forum, but nothing worked. Is it possible to recover it?
