Questions

We get the error and illustrator still "packages". But every time is different - sometimes the folder will have all links, sometimes it will only have one link. It is not consistent and it never saves the illustrator file into the folder. I can package the same file over and over and every time is different. This is not just my computer, it's all designers I work with having the same problem.* I have tried working from our server and also working off my desktop.* OS and Adobe updates are current.* Not using a Wacom (this was the only conversation I found related to illustrator / Tahoe issues.Our IT team has tried going through the process with adobe, but no one can figure out why this is happening. I was hoping someone in this community would have a fix. Thanks(screen shot attached for settings reference)

Hi - I have a filled path that I need to divide into even segments: The end result should look like a dotted line, similar to this image: I have found tutorials on how to divide shapes but nothing for a filled path or curve like in my situation. Also, the path cannot change shape or be distorted in any way since it represents data. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Pour un pack, j’ai une photo de texture, pour l’impression on me demande de mettre ce visuel en Pantone.J’ai un doute sur le process pour réaliser cette manip. Besoin de votre aide.Merci beaucoup

I have not had luck at all lately with my work IT solving this issue. I'm just going to take this matter into my own hands. I get the, 'Verifying access to '__________'' and apparently it is a drive that is no longer existing within the company i work for. All of my assests for my file are on my internal E drive, and any time i click stop. it just goes to save it like normal. this pop up occasionally freezes my Ai.  I just want this fixed. Below are just screenshots of what has happened 

Hi everyone, I am trying to figure out why my free transform tool has these bizarre scaling handles that do not transform in the traditional way. Thank you!

Hey people,I am using illustrator since 2 weeks and I can't get the glow to the front. I tried previously answered questions but those solutions don't work. Any help?

Hi, I prepared in Illustrator a file to go live on email only, however then I decided to prepare for print. I added the bleed points however there is now showing a gray space between my document and the bleed points. Please advise how I could get this fixed quickly, as I have a lot of pages on this document.

I have a MacBook Pro M4 Pro, and since version 29.8.2, Illustrator always crashes when I open it. Only Illustrator crashes—nothing else. I thought the problem might be the popup/modal that displays the latest product features, but it seems that's not the issue.I don't know what to do since it seems I'm not the only one having this problem, and yet Adobe isn't doing their job to update the program without bugs and crashes.

For a while now, I've been experiencing some issues with Illustrator's customizations that I wasn't used to, but which are now completely unusable.For example, if I want to create a square, the grid alignment process restricts me to certain locations on the grid, making it incredibly difficult to position it where I want. Even once the square is created, I can't adjust it by dragging, for example; I have to manually adjust the width and length. These kinds of issues are incredibly annoying, but I don't understand how they were changed or how I can reverse them.Hopefully, someone understands my problem and will help me!

I have just opened Illustrator 30.2.0 to get this home page:You can see that the LH side is missing several objects.The Recent grid view is filled with errors (while the list view seems to work).I then clicked on Open, opened a PDF file and, after briefly seeing the main interface with the single-page PDF in it, Illustrator crashed.I relaunched Illustrator but there was no crash reporting dialogue.I tried to open the PDF again and managed to perform a couple of edits (edit artboard > A3 > resize image to fit the artboard). Illustrator asked if I wanted to Save changes before quitting (but I had not asked it to quit). I pressed Save and Illustrator quit. What can I do?macOS 26.2.1 on Apple Silicon M3 Max.

I can’t place Illustrator files into Indesign – the artwork appears distorted with elements overlaying and ghosting that isn’t there in the Illustrator file itself.The same distorted image appears when previewing the Illustrator file in finder – so the fault is with Illustrator not Indesign.It can happen with a large document or with one artboard with one object. Sometimes you can resolve by deleting and pasting the items back, other times you have to give up on that file completely. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I’ve had this work killing bug for months across multiple versions and it’s impacting my job.

I need to transform a lot of dashed (single) lines into separate lines... Who can tell me how to do this in a few clicks. I don't need an outline of the dashed line. So the black dashes I need, the white in between the dashes I want to loose.A little complicated to explain... See the example. I need the second lines.Kind regards, Ellen

I have a bug/issue on curviligne Text / text on path or curve.   After designing and saving the Illustrator file, everything seems normal. Once I reopen the Illustrator file, then the text that has been placed on a curve (Type on a Path) disappears.   This has happened in different working files of mine.

A referência de interseção simplesmente não aparece mesmo eu utilizando smart guides e snap to point, ja tentei diversas soluções e nenhuma delas funciona, eu estou perdendo alguma coisa?

The new version of Illustrator is not allowing to use the "select by:" feature, it appears blocked.

Dear Adobe Team, I would like to cancel my Illustrator plan, since i am not using it anymore, but I cannot find it in any of my accounts, possible i registered with a typo in my e-mail address. I also did not receive a confirmation e-mail.Could you please help me with the cancellation of my plan?Thank you and best regardsDilara Akhoundova

In Illustrator (most recent up to date version), I did a shortcut and accidentally turned my workspace to white.  I went to preferences ->user interface ->brightness and changed the color.  It changes the interface except for the workspace color, it remains white. However; if I open a new document it does change to the appropriate color.  I just don't want to copy and paste all my work to a new document.  This happened at work on a PC. When I brought the file home I opened it on a IMAC with the same issue. 

Just updated to 29.8.1 and I can no longer copy and paste a vector direct from Illustrator into PowerPoint. I can normally just grab an illustration from Illustrator and copy/paste into PPT, but since the update it's pasting nothing. I'm on Windows 11 and have tried copying from different Illustrator files and also tried restarting computer but still the same. Perhaps someone could have a go and see if this is working for them or not. Thanks

So I frequently need to batch export a number of various artboards to JPGs for web use. The maximum size that the files can be is 100kb, and while some of the artboards are small (and really should be exported at maximum quality so that they don't get too pixelated), some of the artboards are larger and need to be imported at about 40% quality. Up until now I have been manually adjusting the quality of each of the files in order to remain within 100kb, but I'm wondering if there is any sort of script out there that can help me with this. Any ideas?

Hey all,Got a question. I’ve been drawing in Illustrator since the 1980’s, but am not up-to-speed on creating custom strokes, as I rarely ever have a need for them. Anyway, I currently have 78 floor plans to draw and more them half of them have this really funky/curvy balcony/terrace wall that is a bear to draw, and slowing me way down on getting these things cranked out. What I am wondering is if there is a way to create a custom stroke so that I can draw this wall with one vector line? This outer Terrace wall is what I am talking about…...and I’d also love to figure out a way to easily draw the curvy WINDOW wall with it’s little custom-placed sectional dividers if that’s possible. If you all can give me step-by-step advice that would be great. I normally would just draw these things without worry, but I have 78 of them to do and I need a quicker way of drawing these walls. 

I am trying to close multiple small paths into one large closed path. Ultimately, I need to save as an SVG so I can import in to a CNC router. The original files are gears for a wooden clock that started out as DXF files. There are hundreds of small paths on the gear teeth that I can join manually, but there must be a better way. A Select All > Path  > Join does not work. The only thing that does seems to work is manually selecting the endpoints in each gear tooth and joining the paths this way. Do-able, but very slow as I have many gears to work on.Is there a trick I am missing or a better way to do this? I am relatively new to Ai.Attached is an example where I manually joined all the paths to obtain the hi-lighted path eight teeth in length. I have confirmed my CNC will read this joined path just fine.All the rest of the gear is made up of hundreds of smaller paths, all non-joined. There is no option of asking the DXF file author to save the file differently.All suggestions wel

Hi gusy I vae a 12 page pdf in that pdf I need to adjust tge artboards size on all and adjust the text boxes sizes on all to look the same all together. The text has shadows and effects on them I wa t the spacing in all to be the same. Who do I do this 

When adding gaussian blur to a shape it creates a large white square behind shape. It cannot be selected and only disappears when the blur is removed from shape. This is the latest version of illustrator and it appears the same in the previous version.

Pretty much what it says in the title. There is a reliable 4-5 second lag whenever I try to zoom in and out of the canvas no matter what I use to zoom (scroll wheel, zoom tool, ctrl+). This happens even on completely blank files.I’ve tried both CPU & GPU performance, toggling them both on and off, disabling animated zoom, updating my NVIDIA studio driver, restarting my computer. I also tried to switch to GPU view, but that option is disabled for me.The only thing that works is zooming in in Outline mode but… surely that can’t be the only solution. Can’t exactly use Outline mode forever.This is significantly slowing my work down, and I can’t find any answers 😭OS info Thank you for any suggestions!!
