Questions

I haven't logged into my Adobe Illustrator in a while and when I do I can't even get acees to the design center.  When Iog in, it says "Fetching your subscription details" then takes me to a screen that says I need to subscribe for a monthly fee.  I couldn't get around it so I just subscribed with the intent to challenge it later, but now I still can't get pass the prompt.  It happens every time I close the app and log in again.  Anyone experience this?

Hi there, as title, a color background was set to my AI file.  saves as a copy to PDF.and it turned out like this...the funny thing i tried was down the size to the color. and it works finally.Judging my design? How Artificial Intelligent it becomes...so i split my color into 2 pieces and it still works...  Is there any pro had similar experience?i had the same issue using InDesign, too. no matter what background color is CMYK, RGB, fashion, ugly... it's gone exporting to PDF.Thanks!

Does anyone know why you can't add fonts to Illustrator from the Adobe Type site? Seems like that would be a pretty easy and intuitive feature. 

I am using a Wacom 16, when my pen is active i cannot get the option panel even if i double clic on the icon or if i press enter when selected, anybody have a cue for me.

Text that I have coverted to paths ist siupposed to subtracted from a butto so the background will shine through.  It works  on most of the letters and numbers, but something wierd happens and not alle of the paths are subtracted correctly showing the background of the button in part of the text where it should be transparent, but the entire path still exists as a path.  It happens in illustrator as well as InDesign und the Font Type does not matter either. 

Hello all, I'm having issues with adding anchor points, adjusting anchor points and subtracting anchor points.Upon upgrading to cc 2018, the anchor points seem to be very finicky. Today I kept getting the error:“please use the add anchor point tool on a segment of a path”I know what this means, but before it felt like the program knew what I was intending on doing. Now, unless I am zoomed in really really close I'll get that message. I work pretty fast and this hasn't ever been an issue in the past. Anyone else experiencing any similarities?Thanks in advance!

Hello, how to I recreate this warped lettering (see attached) Is it a combination of photoshop and illustrator?

So here is my problem. When I start working in illustrator everything seems to be fine but after hour performance start to slow down more and more every hour. The most noticable thing is selecting objects. I select object by clicking and than after second the layers bounding box shows up. To make it fast again I have to restart Illustrator. The problem doesn't appear when I create new document. So I narrowed my search for cause to TEMP files. While program was running (slow) I delated TEMP files ( only those that Windows let me beacuse Illustrator was still on) and performance went back to normal. So what's going on with that ? Running Win11, I9-13900, RTX 4090, 64GB RAM, All Adobe programs up to date.

Hello There, Today, we have noticed one strange error in Illustrator while using multiple fonts.When we use multiple languages with different fonts, the justification is not working properly.Especially the last line or the last before the line is going out of the bounding box (Text string). See the attached image for your reference to see the problem that we have. Here is the list of fonts which we used in the artwork.Neue Frutiger World Medium     LanguageMarksSolid2.8Small     Neue Frutiger Thai Modern Md     Noto Sans S Chinese Medium     And 2 more fonts (Korine & Japanese) we investigated it a little bit in it. We noticed this problem is happening only when we added the THAI text (Neue Frutiger Thai Modern Md). Is there any solution for this? Or should we approach the font supplier to fix this issue? Please help me on it. Thank you. Regards,Hari from India

I´m trying to create a pattern brush consisting of following. But as you can see, there is significant gaps in the corners of the pattern. I searched for solution and someone suggested to place a no fill/no stroke square to border the image...but this doesn´t do it either. Can someone help me out? 

Hi guys, really need your help. Recently, I was working on a project and opened several files. I tried to save the logo in SVG format, but instead, I saved a whole canvas from a neighboring file. Now, every time I want to save an SVG, I save this canvas. I reinstalled the system and reinstalled the entire Creative Cloud, but the problem remained.Please help.

How can I change this title and subtitle to a diagonal arrangement, as in the bigger image?

Adobe Illustrator Version 2023 v27.5Windows 10 Pro Since March 5th 2025 we are unable to drag object on the canvas.If we use the rectangle tool, objects can only be created by using coordinates.Bezier curves don't work no more! Anybody the same issues?  

Quando salvo de algum documento do illustrator em versão para impressão no pdf, o arquivo apresenta alguns erros no objeto que usa malha fica aparente, os vetores ficam aparecendo por cima de outros objetos e a imagem de png dentro do documento esta saindo diferente o arquivo pdf. Eu sempre salvava na predefinição PDF/X-1a:2001, mas tá dando esses erros. Agora tô tentando salvar em impressão de alta qualidade, mas ou o aplicativo trava ou estraga algum outro elemento da arte. O que posso fazer?

Illustrator for some unknown reason until today is not working properly after 3 years, the main dropdown menus at the top are now not working at all. Sometimes the effect will drop down but I can't select anything.All other drop-down menus work and all buttons work. it's taking the biscuit as I got assignments to do. Is there any fix?I have already tried disconnecting monitors, deleted remnant files and re-installed illustrator, reset preferences and updated drivers. apparently, 10 series are not supported but it was working fine until now. System: win 11, gtx 1060 6gb, 5600x, 16gb ram.Two monitors and small tv are connected.

I am working on an illustrator file and I clicked the little House or home icon in the top left region I get redirected to the home screen and it seems as if everything I was working on has been closed, I don't understand, is the file still open and I need to click something to get back to it or has it just been closed because I clicked on that icon? Normally if you're going to close a file it would prompt to "save as". What just happened here?

I have a script I'm running that changes localized type in swatches from Japanese to Gibberish. It works ok on when run by itself, but when run within other functions it's breaking. Is there an overall encoding for files that I should be using? Or a way to convert the string back so that it reads properly?Example White:ホワイトConverts to:„Éõ„É؄ǧ„ÉàWhen used as key in the alert, so I'm guessing it's not finding the swatch either. var swConvert = { "CMYK レッド": "CMYK Red", "CMYK イエロー": "CMYK Yellow", "CMYK グリーン": "CMYK Green", "CMYK シアン": "CMYK Cyan", "CMYK ブルー": "CMYK Blue", "CMYK マゼンタ": "CMYK Magenta", "ホワイト、ブラック": "White, Black", "オレンジ、イエロー": "Orange, Yellow", "色あせた空": "Fading Sky", "スーパーソフトブラックビネット": "Super Soft Black Vignette", "木の葉": "Foliage", "ポンパドール": "Pompadour", "ホワイト": "White", "ブラック": "Black",

HiI'm using in Illustrator 2025 (version 29.3)When I am trying to create images using multiple documents, noticing a weird issue during the copy & paste operation between different documents,due to which the image creation process takes mutiple times to get createdsometimes retrying the same image works but it is affecting the productivity due to multiple times creation of the image. while the image creation process takes place some of the components are not pasted properly where I get a specific error: an illustrator error occurred:1346458189 ('PARM') As a result I get improper images where I could see some blank spaces where the copied content is missed to be pasted.The copy and paste operation fails intermittently, with the pasted element sometimes not appearing at all or appearing incorrectly. I have tried mutiple ways but issue was not resolving. When the same process tried with CS5 version, I don't face any problem the creation process is clean & no multiple tries observe

Illustrator 28 on MacOS Sonoma 14.5 been crashing for weeks. I've installed various updates to v28.   It happens even after a fresh boot when nothing else is running. Usually during any kind of file operation (save, open, place, export), but I've also known it to happen when moving an object.   Mac Studio Ultra, 128Gb ram.     {Renamed by MOD}

One thing that has always been missing in Illustrator is the ability to apply transparency directly to the image and at the same time be able to apply a gradient to that transparency, modulating its intensity, exactly as you can do in InDesign where I can calibrate the intensity of the image's transparency with a gradient, blurring it as desired... is it possible to have this feature in Illustrator?

As you see below, I have three lines to which I've applied a gradient after making them compound paths. It works find for the bottom, solid line example. But for the dashed line, the gradient is applied to each segment indepently. How do I get dash lines to work the same way? 

Hi all! I desperately need help with a problem I'm having. I've been working in production design for various screen printers for a long time and the problem only came up recently but is persisting. My client prefers I export separated tif files of the artwork for her to print on film and then use for screenprinting, and whenever the artwork is vector everything is fine. But when any part of the design is raster, even if the file looks sharp when previewed on screen, it gets a really dramatic stair-stepped or jagged look around every edge (images attached). I read that it might be an anti-aliasing or "art optimizing" problem when exporting but those settings are turned on. Please help if you have any idea what is happening, I need the problem fixed quickly. Thanks!

I used to be able to toggle on and off whether Illustrator adds the stroke wight to the displayed size of an object, and whether it takes into account an object's troke weight when aligning. If I remember correctly it was a check box labelled "Add stroke weight" in the transform palette. I can't find this now - it has been missing for a while but I have worked around it. I'm now doing a job where I really need to be able to toggle it on and of as I'm wokring. Has it been renamed, moved to another palette? 

Hello, Everyone. I'm learning a lot of new techniques from all the members here. Thank you SO MUCH. You've been a lifesaver.  Most of my learning of AI has come through YouTube, and it's really great, but I can't find the answer to the following question.  Below is the image I'm working with. The number and the clover / Shamrock are being engraved, the holes and the outside shape are for cutting. Here is the issue. I cannot get this image to laser engrave and cut at the same time. It will perform either task perfecly on its own, but not simultaneously. What's weird is, it was working fine and doing that 48 hours ago with this exact same image, but now it won't. I assume I must have accidentally made some minor formatting change that has changed this.  Any Ideas? Thank You.
