Questions

Previously I have been able to create an EPS in InDesign (panels of text) and place into my Illustrator file as a linked EPS. Now, when I do the same, the placed EPS is converting to illustraor text and lines. I don't want it to do this as I want to be able to update the link and change it  on  each page.Not sure why its started doing this, or am I missing something? 

Olá a todos do fórum. O pathfinder não funciona quando usado na ordem dos 15 passos a seguir: O resultado final era para ser o desenho transformado em várias partes divididas com a cor do retângulo, cada uma delas "clicáveis" para escolher a cor, mas ao invés disso só poucas partes são divididas sendo que a maior parte do desenho permanece inteira.Ontem tive esse mesmo problema, mas ao reiniciar o computador ele voltou a funcionar.Estou com o meu pagamento atrasado, será que isso implica no funcionamento normal do Illustrator? Edit: Vou entrar em contato com a Adobe para ver se eles conseguem solucionar o problema.

Adobe Illustrator's Dash bullet point is so fking stupid. Someone please fix it. Great thanks!

Bonjour, je ne comprend pas pourquoi je ne trouve pas le nuancier Pantone dans le Catalogue des Couleurs ? Pouvez vous me dire comment faire pour utiliser les Pantones ? Merci

Windows 10, AI CC2017, wacom tablet (tried different ones)When I alt+click to place a custom pivot point with the rotate/ skew or mirror tool the anchor point sticks to the cursor and won't release. The program freezes for up to a few minutes before the menu pops up. It's not usable.This only happens when using the Wacom pen. Not with mouse or trackpad. When it freezes and I unplug the Wacom tablet, it works fine again.Looking at other threads and fora, this problem seems to be around for many years now, in many CS and CC versions. Why isn't this solved yet?I 'fixed' it by turning off GPU preview, but that's far from ideal obviously.

Below is a screenshot of the error that pops up when I attempt to launch Illustrator. This error has been occurring for 5 days. I have followed the error instructions to wait and try again later, but this has not fixed the problem. Does anyone have any solutions to this problem?   Thanks in advance for your help!   {Renamed by MOD}

Hello,Width tool is giving me a hard time. I edit lines/path on the outer ring of letter "R" and for some reason width tool is applying changes to the inner ring also.  Any idea how to prevent this?Thanks for reply 🙂

Please don't reply with lame advice about using some "cleaner tool." The fact is that Illustrator is not stable at the moment, and now my life is hell.Illustrator 29.3.1MacOS 15.3.1Mac version 16-inch 2019 Restarting does not fix it. It happens randomly at file open, or file save, or just trying to do my job processing packaging files. I'm going to try to downgrade as a solution because there's nothing else to do but waste time trying to use a once great, now horrible piece of software.

Hi, so, i was working on a school project and then, when trying to save as an editable file, it was showing an error saying "This file cannot be found", i don't know how to solve this problem, but i really need to save this in case i need to rework it... Ps. I never saved it, so it was literally the first time saving it not like, saving on over another copy

Direct selection tool highlight does not align to the shape placement. The anchor point hovers slightly off the shape. Have restarted and updated to latest version and still have this issue. Issue occurs with every shape selected and even on new created shapes. Snap to grid is off and show edges is on. Sorry for blurry picture. I zoomed in as far as illustrator would let me. Due to this issue, I can't tell where the true placement of the shape is. Please help.

I was surprised to see that Illustrator cannot import Text of a path from an SVG file. I create maps with a program that generates svg files which I then import to Illustrator for final editing. I recently learned how to do Text on a pth in SVG but when I imported this into Illustrator the text became individual letters jumbled together away from the path. This is an important feature that needs to be included.

Can anyone suggest a Fix to have Adobe - Open & work with PDF's?I checked on "updates" and the App was just updated - and not working 

Hi all, I'm working on a project in Illustrator and when I export the file, the long shadow looks HORRIBLE. Does anyone have any fixes for this? I'm using the blend tool for this effect- it looks great in illustrator and passable in PDF, but any other image format destroys the appearance of the blend. 

While working at home this morning, Illustrator would keep invoking the Quit dialog (with no option to cancel) and would shut down on its own after a few seconds. The same thing just happened to me at the office. In both cases, I was using a Bluetooth keyboard. At home, when I switched to the laptop keyboard, Illustrator behaved as expected. Two different Macs, two different keyboards and multiple files. Any advice? Thank you. Illustrator 29.3.1 MacMacOS 15.3.1 (both machines)

Buongiorno a tutti, sul mio pc sono sparite le librerie locali, il pannello è funzionante e anche il sync con il cloud ma anche li non trovo nulla... l'unica cosa che è cambiata è il tipo di licenza ( da illustrator a full )... cambiando licenza si perdono le librerie?? mi sembra strano... non c'è modo dalla cartella app data di recuperarle?Grazie a tutti

Hi everybody,I have a bunch of lines I'm trying to cut through. I've tried both Scissors and Knife. I don't want to individually slect each line to use Scissors, and Knife is sloppy. It doesn't have a Shift-slide option to cut a straight line (or I haven't figured it out).  So I'm like...can I just draw a box across this thing and pathfinder delete / punch it out or something? That's what I'd do in Photoshop. What's the best practice for something like this? This has to be a routine/easy thing to do. Thanks for reading everybody.

when have some changes and tried to save it pop up with " illustrator tried, but could not save the document "file name"aic". Click 'Learn more' to know about possible reasons and resolutions.

Hi, I'm getting the error message, "When spot colors are used with transparency, changing them to process colors outside of Illustrator can generate unexpected results." I'm working in a file that will be printed in large volume and needs to be right before sending to printer. How do I remedy this? I'm not entirely sure what a spot color is, so not really sure where to start. On a bit of a time crunch, so explanations (not links to articles) would be greatly appreciated.Thanks!

When opening the same Illustrator file on two PCs here, they have different WxH size when clicking on a particular element in the file!Both PCs have up to date illustrator installed through CCCan you let me know how this might be?? and how we could change things so that both PCs see all elements the same?I have included a screenshot with the 'problem' element selected, and the illustrator file 

Hello everyone, I have the following problem:I want to open a DWG exported from Inventor in Illustrator. Normally this works without any problems. But with some DWGs only the drawing area appears and nothing can be seen even when zooming out. When I select everything with Ctrl+A, the x/y coordinates show me that there is something at the value -5000. I enter the coordinates 0/0 and the drawing appears totally distorted and tiny in the corner. I export and import the DWG with the same settings as usual. Of course, I have already tested all export and import options, always with the same result. When I open the DWG in Inventor, it appears as normal. It is also displayed correctly in the preview in Explorer. I have the feeling that it is an import problem with Illustrator. At first I thought it might be due to the file size. However, Illustrator shows an imported file with 1416 KB and not one with 1330 KB. Can anyone help me? Has anyone else had a problem like this?&nb

Hi All,Something odd has happened to my properties panel that I've never seen before.  Yesterday when I was working in AI, it was working properly.  Today, when I click on an object, this is what it looks like:I've tried restarting AI and creative cloud, and I've tried checking to see if there are updates.  Nothing.Oddly though, when I switch modes from Essentials to say, Tracing, the Properties panel is back in action. I didn't fiddle with any settings from yesterday to today, and I always use essentials mode. Nothing has changed.  So, why is my properties panel blank and how do I get it to unblank?I need this fixed quickly as I'm on a deadline.Thanks!

Since the latest update, my files are dropping the stroke when from type that is on a curved path. The elements function as expected initially, but after the file is closed, and then reopened, the stroke drops on export. Doesn't matter which export method used, the result is the same. Happens with all fonts. (Apologies for the audio. I tried to include narration, but clearly failed. So, skip the first 20 secs.) I am using Illustrator 29.2.1 on an ASUS ROG laptop running Windows 11 pro. NOTE: I attempted to submit bug via UserVoice but it will not let me post there for some reason. 

Create Swatch Info seems to be a great new feature, but limited.I work in signage printing with HP Large Format Printers. Clients are always asking to match a colour. My question is how can I use the "Create Swatch Info" to print a Pantone Colour book?It has no option to make the book A4 or to fit a certain amount of swatches to a page
