Questions

I use the Esc Key to deselect in Illustrator but it suddenly stopped working. Help! heres what I did so far: -checked if it worked everywhere else, yup-restarted the program-updated the app-checked keyboard shortcuts and "deselect" is set as standard Cnrl+shft+A, cannot change it to the esc key thoughI'm using a Mac!

How do I get rid of this new line/ area which has appeared with the latest update of AI (29.2) just above the foot of the screen? 

So Adobe decided witht he most recent update to change how one of the most fundamental tools works.... The eyedropper tool.  The fun part is there is no freaking documentation on the changes of hotkeys, etc. Holding shift now no longer allows you to grab a color from a stroke and apply it to a fill, now instead it grabs a specific color within a gradient, etc. It's a nice feature, but how about you use one of those really annoying tooltip popups or the Home screen (new features section) for something useful for a change and explain how the new version of this 30 year old tool works.Thanks for making my day harder as always.

HiI'm currently using AI on my iPad, over the past 12months it has worked pretty well ip until recently. Whenever I use the colour picker, the fill colour remains black and the item I am trying to colour reverts to transparent with no colour at all.I have tried everything, from switching on/off to reinstalling adobe illustrator but nothing seems to work.

Hello, I've been running into some issues when trying to bring editable illustrator smart objects into PS documents. The object seemingly crops on its' own when i bring it into PS. I attached pictures for reference...  Thank you in advance

Hi, I posted a lot on the subject and didn't get any answer from Adobe. Currently, Illustrator only supports integer values for LAB. It'd be amazing if there will be support for decimal values for LAB swatches. See the feature request here.See other relevant post here that was unanswered here. 

When Tap the paragraphIt changes the font type.How to keep from changing the font while typing a message

Is there a way to set Export for Screens to export at 300 DPI/PPI? It only lets me do 72 I know I can make multiple art boards and then export them all at once using "Export as..." (which doesn't have a keyboard shortcut, grr). That works alright. But, would be really cool to use Export for Screens instead. Also, yes, the document is set at 300 DPI CMYK. But exports at 72 when using Export for Screens.Sorry if this question has been asked before! Thank you so much in advance.

This has happened in a few different files so it’s not file specific, but when I duplicate a text box with a font (for example ‘Mostera’) and try to edit the text, it reverts back to another font - example ‘Owners Medium’. It’s quite annoying and can’t seem to see whyI don’t have any character styles or paragraph styles set. And my default type tool is set to Myriad Pro so if anything it should revert to that shouldn’t it?Ive uninstalled and re installed illutrator, ive reset preferences, I've tried 'Clear Overrides'I cant seem to find the issue -> Video example attached If anyone has any suggestions that would be stellar 🙂

I am in need of a script that adds arrow labels to pathItems. I would like to use Unicode characters in order to not rely on any pre-existing symbols or external configuration. I have included a sample of the code that I normally use to add labels to the bottom center of a path. I could use some help in adding the proper logic to have the Unicode arrow character point in the proper direction according to the index of the path's anchor points.      #target illustrator; var idoc = app.activeDocument; middleBottom(); //========== (Create Label and Place Horizontal Center and Bottom of Path) ========== function middleBottom() { var labelMargin = 5; var label = idoc.layers.getByName('Layer 1').textFrames.add(); label.name = "Path Label"; label.contents = "\u2190"; label.opacity = 25.0; label.textRange.characterAttributes.textFont = textFonts.getByName('ArialMT'); label.textRange.characterAttributes.

My colleague and I each opened the same PDF in Illustrator to try to export smaller versions. Neither of us made the original PDF. When he opened the the file, he was warned that linked files were missing. They appeared pixelated and exported the same way. When I opened the document, I was given no warning about missing linked files, only that the version of AI I was using was older than what created this file. I opened anyway, the image previews looked great, the export looked great. All files in the Links looked embedded. To test it, I updated to 2025, 29.1. I don't know what version I was on before. it was 2024 something, so nothing too far behind. After the update, I got the warning about missing linked files with pixelated previews.Why would an older version see the linked files differently, as if they were embedded and not linked, and be able to handle the file and export no problem?The other strange part is that after hitting up the original creator, he told us that the ori

Hi,I'm getting an error message when I start up Illustrator that says: "Can't open the illustration. The file is locked or in use."  ID:-54 (pictured below)Someone please help! I've already uninstalled and reinstalled several times.

I've been experiencing a type issue...In the past, Illustrator will continue using whatever contextual font, weight, etc. is present. Recently, though, there are times where illustrator will change weight (or font) automatically once I start typing. Is this a setting that needs to be changed somewhere? It's driving me a little bit crazy! Thank you. 

How do I change the colour of the lasso tool selection line in AI? My artworks have black backgrounds so when I use lasso I can only see the selection line where it crosses other (non-black) objects which is rather annoying as I can't be sure what I have and haven't included in the selection.Also why does it slow Illustrator down so much after using Lasso that I have to save, close and reopen AI to get the normal speeds of operation back?

Here's a simplae explanation of what I keep running into:I have a simple document with 5 artboards as templates for binder tabs. I have a new document with 8 tabs, so I select and duplicate artboards 1 - 3 at the same time. In doing so Illustrator duplicates the tab artwork in reverse order. So artboard 6 has the tab placement for 3, 7 has the placement of 2, and 8 has the placement of 1.IT SHOULD BE 1-2-3-4-5-1-2-3 when it's actually doing 1-2-3-4-5-3-2-1. Why can I not figure out how to duplicate the artboards art in the current order??  

1. Illustrator 2025 updated five days ago - all working fine.2. Opened this evening to edit a document but was unable to print because all the printer specific custom profiles were missing.3. Checked the Windows folder containing the ICC profiles - all present and correct.4. Opened Photoshop 2024 and verified that the required printer profiles were all accessible and printing was working.5. Uninstalled Illustrator, keeping settings, rebooted and reinstalled. Printer profiles still missing as above.6. Uninstalled Illustrator, removing all settings and reinstalled. Printer profiles still missing and now almost all colour space options have also vanished. Only SWOPV2 remains (we use FOGRA39). 7. Contacted Adobe chat - agent came online and as soon as I described the problem he terminated the chat.8. All other color management systems on the PC are working as expected and printing is otherwise working perfectly.9. Could be a registry issue I guess but a clean reinstall should have cle

Whats happening is Im holding "Z" and using the animated zoom in and out using either the trackpad, a mouse, or a Wacom Tablet. At any point, it can just stop working. Mostly when I zoom in and then out quick. When this stops working, you only get the " Lasso Zoom option. " If you close the document, and re-open it, it resets.   It's the exact same thing that happens when you go into the "VIEW" menu, select " VIEW USING GPU " Now when you hold down "Z" and use a mouse / track pad / tablet, you only get a lasso zoom.    I've gotten so used to using the Animated Zoom of the past 10 or so years, that it ruins my entire work flow. So much so, I've just been using illustrator 2023 because this never happens on this version. I never used 2024 because of this, and I was just hoping it would be corrected by Illustrator 2025.   Computer Specs are  Apple M3 Max64 GB of MemorySonoma 14.5
