Questions

Problem I've experienced since the swatch menu has been updated in one of the recent Illustrator updates. When trying to select the specific fill swatch menu (the little drop down swatch menus that appear on the top left) the selected color will only apply to the fill if it is set to the primary swatch (the big fill/outline swatch that appears under tools which you can toggle using the "X" key). So if outline is set to the primary swatch and I select the specific fill swatch menu and select a color, the selected color will apply to the outline instead of the fill. Easier to understand once you see it in the screen recording. In the recording the specific fill swatch menu is the one experiencing this bug, however I believe I've experienced the same issue with the specific outline swatch menu at a different time. OS: Sequoia 15.1.1 (24B91)Current Illustrator version: 29.1 

I started having issues with illustrator around late November, when it automatically updated. Since then, my Illustrator crashes whenever I save my file. I have uninstalled the 2025 version and reinstalled the 2024 version, but that one is having the same problem now. I have reset my preferences, freed up space on my computer, and have run the Creative Cloud Diagnostics, but nothing has fixed this issue.Please let me know what else I can do to to resolve this.

Hi there,When I was using the 3D and Materials panel and went to the Lighting tab, I couldn't go further down to work on the Shadow options because there was no scroller there that would allow me to do so (it was supposed to be on the right side of the tab?). Please see the attached screenshot. Any tips and suggestions will be much appreciated. Many thanks.     

adobe illustrator 选中物体有延迟，抓手工具盒放大镜工具使用后切换其它工具也有延迟。比如直接用 选择 工具选择一个图形或者图片，会停顿一会，才会出现定界框和表示选中，不能立刻选中，而且在点击选择一下后，若移动鼠标则会跟着鼠标移动图形。同时切换抓手工具或者放大缩小工具后，点击 V 按钮，也无法立刻切换成选择工具，其它工具也无法立刻切换使用。

Hi - In Illustrator, I'm using an artistic texture (for example, stipple, ripple, etc) with the symbol sprayer.  Is it possible to change the color of the texture? All of the textures are currently black; I'd like to change it so that the texture is white or gray.  Is this possible? Thanks in advance.

Bonjour à tous,Je suis en train de développer un petit logiciel en Python pour optimiser mon workflow, et j’aurais besoin de vos lumières.Mon objectif est de créer un programme qui m’aide à vérifier des plans réalisés sur Illustrator, exportés en PDF. Dans un premier temps, je souhaite que mon programme puisse :Afficher une fenêtre où je peux glisser-déposer mes fichiers PDF.Afficher un aperçu de chaque PDF avec ses dimensions (largeur et hauteur).J’ai pu avancer un peu grâce à l’aide d’un assistant IA, mais je rencontre un problème que je n’arrive pas à résoudre :Si je dépose un ou plusieurs fichiers provenant d’un dossier (ou sous-dossier), tout fonctionne bien.Si je dépose un fichier depuis mon dossier "Téléchargements", ça marche.Par contre, si je dépose plusieurs fichiers depuis "Téléchargements", mon script affiche une erreur : "Aucun fichier PDF valide trouvé".J’aimerais que mon programme puisse importer correctement n’importe quel fichier PDF, peu importe sa provenance (dossier

Hi, today I turned on my iMac (I turned it off on Saturday as usual) I always use the default color profiles but today every file I open tells me to choose whether the embedded profile or the file where it will open, I've tried everything changing to the profile that I've always used but when I export to PDF with the same settings as always the color is different (using the same profile that I've always used) help 😞 I need to send a file to be printed in bulk and I'm very worried about the color issue

I have been experiencing crashes with Illustrator specifically when editing strokes and editing pattern brushes. I've listed below all the components of the problem: I'm using Illustrator 28.1, which at this time should be the most recent. I keep it updated, and It's happened with every version I've used for the last 2 years, though, so that seems like it's almost a moot point.I'm on a Mac Mini M1 with 16g RAM running Venutra 13.6.1, but again, it's happened independent of version.It happens at different times, in different areas of stroke editing, but almost without fail it happens when I am trying to make a pattern brush. It will happen MOST often, by a thin margin, when I am editing the inside corner image, but also happens slightly less often when editing the standard/outside corner option. The exact moment varies: It's crashed when clicking the drag down button, when scrolling through the options IN the drag down menu, and when clickout the selection in the drag down menu.I'v

I am working on a brand book in Adobe Illustrator, which consists of a large number of artboards (about 90), each sized 3480x2480 px in CMYK format. As a result, the file is quite large.When I try to save it in EPS format, I encounter the following error:"Can't save the illustration. The requested transformation would make some objects too large."It is very important for me to save the file specifically in EPS format as this is required by the client and for further work with the file. Could you please help me resolve this issue or suggest a workaround to bypass the limitations when saving in EPS?Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Can I find a script that converts a letter I type into a .png file stored in a folder? I'm working on a restaurant menu, and several restaurants need allergens listed. Instead of entering them manually as you see in the image, I want to use a script or any other method to add them by just pressing the letters or numbers. I would appreciate any help.

Hey folks!For some reason, Illustrator is reverting font within a line of text. If I click back into a line of text, instead of using the font that I set it to, it reverts the new text into the font I originally set before typing. Is there a hotkey or setting I accidentally activated? Continually going back to change fonts is quite the nuicance!I have attached a screenshot of what I mean. The original text was done in Gotham, I then changed it to Faraco Hand as it fit better for the theme. While going back to change capitalization, the box reverted back to Gotham, even though the font selection in the properties tab said Faraco Hand.Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

I don't know why, but my effects panel has looked like this for months now and Adobe Support chat has been a hassle and couldn't find the solution. I'm guessing it's an issue with my computer? Othe UI pop-ups are normal, but the effect panel always look like this? Makes it way too hard to use effectively.    {Renamed by MOD}

Whenever I save/delete a color swatch or click "Close" on the "Missing Fonts" window that comes up when I open an Illustrator project, the program crashes about 90% of the time. I don't know how to read the crash reports, but I'm pasting the parts that look relevant in case that's helpful. Missing Fonts:Crashed Thread: 0 Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-threadException Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)Exception Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x00002b2139a9c430Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000001, 0x00002b2139a9c430Termination Reason: Namespace SIGNAL, Code 11 Segmentation fault: 11Terminating Process: exc handler [39638]VM Region Info: 0x2b2139a9c430 is not in any region.

Hi! I'm kinda new into scripting and writing js for Illustrator. I work as a designer for a print shop, where we do all kinds of jobs and orders, some are from other designers or sellers (they send us their files for printing or production in general), and some others are for the general public (where we design ourselves). Our workflow is based on the creation of a "client preview", where we make a template that has some basic info, such as the client's name, the requested material, the requested polishings or finishes, deadline for delivery and quantity of the production to print. It also contains the design itself, with dimensions on it (width x height, in cm or meters). We send a screenshot of this preview to the client, they authorize it, and then we prepare our files for printing or production. The files always have the same resolution, the same margins or bleed/cutouts depending on the material, material width, polishings or finishes, or quantities (we make a uniqu

Dear Community,I’m experiencing a critical issue with Adobe Illustrator on my Apple M3 Pro running macOS Sonoma. For the past two days, I’ve been unable to save files directly to my computer (not an external drive). I have 1.7 TB of available storage, so disk space is not the issue.When attempting to save even small files as .ai documents, the progress stalls at 98-99% before failing with an “unexpected error” message. This problem is seriously impacting my workflow and ability to meet deadlines.I would greatly appreciate any guidance or solutions you can provide.Thank you very much for your help!Best wishes,Jaz

Hey there,So since the new update, fonts just swap to the ones beforehand without me doing anything. Would love to know to to turn this stupid feature off. https://vimeo.com/1039643440/4a2027decf?ts=0&share=copyALSO. It happens quite often, that when outlining or ungrouping parts. Illustrator needs 5-10 seconds to do the job while mz mouse coursers travels weirdly. I have an m2 Max and tried re installing the whole system multiple times.

Is there a way to command Illustrator to save the file where it deactivates/unchecks the receiver's PDF "Enhance thin lines" setting?

I need help understanding creating transparency masks in Adobe Illustrator. I am adding black and white graphics via the Place command. After I do this, I add them to other black backgrounds. With this encompassed selection, which is what I want the white areas to become transparent, I then group everything and use the Transparency Panel. Sometimes it works. I mean, the white areas become transparent so that I can export a PNG from Export Screens. Other times, I cannot understand what keeps the graphic's white part from becoming transparent. Can anybody give me some insight on what I could be doing wrong? Thanks
