Hi there, I was provided a logo from a client and need to add it to some packaging designs. The logo has a gradient using blurred layers and a clipping path. It appears pixelated at full resolution (Left in attached image) but becomes very bad when scaled down (right in attached image). Any idea what's going on? Eoin

Trying to locate the preferences but it is not where I normally find it. Has Illustrator moved it?

This may be a dumb question, but I don't have an answer for it and has always bothered me.Why doesn't the transform-move input measurements follow the the x/y axis mathematical chart we were all taught in school? Positive numbers should move the object up and to the right, but it moves to the right and down??horizontal is correct, but vertical seems backwards.Thoughts?

Hello everyone! Thank you all in advance for your help and advice. Our ssue:We have exported 1200 .svg files from nodebox.Each file has background, invisible stroke graphics and everything is in single layerWe need to remove the "background", colorize (#BBA3FF) invisible stroke graphics and make 0.2 px stroke weightsave and close all files Is it poosible to do su much actions?

Hi all! I create charts online then download them as SVG files. I open those in Illustrator, adjust them and save them. I've been doing this for years... probably since 2000. I know I've had this issue before, but I fixed it. And now I can't remember how I did! Basically, I download an svg file. When I open it, it alerts me that a font is missing (see screenshot "Font Problems"). Then I got to Type > Find/Replace Font... and it shows there are NO fonts in the file to change. So... what do I do? Or rather... what DID I do because I did fix this at one point. But I just got a new computer so I'm trying to figure out how to get back to what I was able to do before. Thank you! 

Hello everyone,i have a script with a function that resizes and positions one object (`odjFit`) to fit within another object (`odjTo`). It calculates a scaling factor based on the dimensions of the two objects, resizes `odjFit` accordingly, and aligns their centers. function fitObj(odjFit, odjTo) { var w1 = odjFit.width, h1 = odjFit.height, w2 = odjTo.width, h2 = odjTo.height; var r = Math.min(w2/w1, h2/h1); odjFit.resize(r*100,r*100); var x1 = odjFit.left + odjFit.width/2, y1 = odjFit.top, x2 = odjTo.left + odjTo.width/2, y2 = odjTo.top; odjFit.translate(x2 - x1, y2 - y1); }; the problem is that the object odjFit contains a clipping mask with objects way bigger than the mask itself so the function calculates w1and h1 considering these objects too. I want it to calculates w1 and h1 based only on the width and height of the object odjFit itself (which is the same as the dimensions of the clipping mask). Then the objects inside the clipping mask should be resized according

I decided to give the Illustrator 2025 Beta a spin, and unfortunately I'm getting several error messages on startup. They all start with "Debug Assert failed!".Here is an example bug:{ expression: "false && "Could not find tool's Tile Id"" hash: "63ae60da-2ef9-ad66-993a-765b00000061" sourceFile: "D:\J\ws\ilst_main@2\shared\META\dist\git\adobe\DVA\dva\shared\adobe\dvaui\controls\src\UI_DetailedToolBox.cpp" sourceFunction: "dvaui::controls::UI_DetailedToolBoxT<short>::GetToolInfoFromToolItemValue" sourceLine: "273" threadID: "35796" threadName: "main" timestamp: "2025-02-27T20:42:16.0Z" } -------------- StackTrace -------------- main ( @ 0) (AIToolBoxUI.aip+0x000000000004F86F) main ( @ 0) (AIToolBoxUI.aip+0x00000000000352BF) main ( @ 0) (AIToolBoxUI.aip+0x0000000000031168) main ( @ 0) (AIToolBoxUI.aip+0x000000000003383A) main ( @ 0) (AIToolBoxUI.aip+0x0000000000048D63) main ( @ 0) (AIToolBoxUI.aip+0x00000000000674F1) main ( @ 0) (AIToolBoxUI.aip+0x000000000004

I used to be able to click on a group and change the attributes of every object within the group at the same time. Now I can't. I don't know what changed or how to change it back. It's creating a great deal of extra work for me.

Hello, I'm not able to download any files. I keep getting the message "Cannot save illustration. You do not have sufficient access privileges. Identification: -5000'' I've restarted the application and the computer, but nothing has worked. Can someone please help me?

Bom dia, seria muito util e agradavel se adicionassem a opção de "CMYKOGV" pois o mercado da grafica e design sempre estão evoluindo numa constancia inacreditavel pois sempre tem novas ideias de todos os lados, e adicionar o CMYKOGV seria muito util pois as novas maquinas estão usando esse sistema de "heptacromia" ou "gama expandida". 

Is it at all possible to have a script pull Lab color information from any swatch or object in Illustrator? I'm specifically trying to write a script to compare Lab color information between two different colors. I've run across the renderSwatchLegend script, but I can't seem to get it to display in a UI instead of rendering to an object. I'm not much of a coder, mostly am trying to use chatGPT to make this. Any help/direction would be appreciated.

I've created a layout with two text columns linked together. When the text flows from the first column to the second, for some reason, Illustrator is treating the last line of the first column as the end of the paragraph and then indents the first line of the second column. Even though it is actually a continuation of the same sentence. How do I fix this?

Hallo,ich kann meine AI Dateien nicht öffnen und erhalte Fehlermeldung "keine Rückmeldung", Programm hängt fest. Auch Datei neu funktioniert nicht. Kann jemand helfen?Ich arbeite mit der Cloud Version 6.5.0.348AI habe ich heute nochmal neu installiert, der Fehler wurde nicht behoben!Gruß Frauke

I'm trying to use the attached stock graphic for a print project, but I'm having major issues when switching from RGB to CMYK. I've tried flattening transparency, messing with the blend modes, and adjusting color settings. For reference here is what it looks like in RGB vs. CMYK (also attached the Ai file). I've definitely seen things like this in print before, so there's got to be a work around, right? 

Hello Community There will be a script that copied all the content of "Various Artboards" from a document and pasted it to a new document automatically. I know that there are several options in Illustrator that copy the content but from a single artboard and the other option is to copy with the artboards and I only want the content to pass it to a new document.

I'm using Illustrator 2025, duplicating a few artboards, saving them, and trying to place them into Indesign; I can't use them. I don't see them, and when I open the Illustrator file to see why I can't see them, all the previous artboards are gone for some reason. I duplicated the artboards in Illustrator again, saved the file, and opened them again, but I still lost them. What is wrong with Illustrator 2025?

I just installed illustrator in v29.3, but found that regardless of whether I selected any type of object, the Properties panel in the new version doesn't show any controls, only the title of the corresponding control group.Even if the text object is selected or nothing is selected, it is still empty.I've tried resetting preferences, resetting workspaces, and even reinstalling the software, but nothing has worked.But there is no problem with the 2024 version of Illustrator.

Hi,Every version of Illustrator released so far this year has had the same issue for me. It was fine last year, but as soon as the 2025 version landed, there seems to be a chance it will crash whenever I open a file.It doesn't matter what file it is. We usually work in PDF but it will also happen when trying to open an .ai file. It doesn't matter how many documents I have open. I can have several open and open one more without a crash, or I can have just one open then it crashes when I go to open a second.It doesn't matter how many undos I have racked up in the files I have open.I'm sick of this. It's the most frustrating thing in the world. What is going on?FWIW, the crash manifests as a spinning ball of death. I can still use other apps so it's not an OS crash, and I need to just force quit Illustrator and open again. I'm on Sequoia 15.3.1, specs: Intel i7, AMD Radeo Pro 5500 XT 8GB. Retina 5K 17" Mac from 2020.App is up to date (29.3.1), I've tried restarting, changing settings, pra

Anyone else having constant issues with scrolling through fonts in either of the font panels. I get 3 down and it gets stuck, on a system font, i've reset the entire system fonts - reset illustrator and i can't seem to scroll more than 3 fonts. It's driving me mad. Latest version of Illustrator 29.3.1Sequoia 15.3.1

Hi I have an issue that a logo looks different on Figma and Illustrator.I created the logo on Figma, colour is HEX. Then exported in SVG.Then I opened it on Illustrator, the gredient is not smooth. Maybe because of the colour thing? Haw can I fix it? Thanks in advance!

This is a bug that I have found cross platform. A few days I was on a Mac using Illustrator and rage quit because of the bug. Now on my PC the bug is back. I might boot up OBS and record it because I don't see anyone else with this problem.  Illustrator did crash when I was attempting to solve this issue. Basically, the regular Selection Tool is bugged so that I select text boxes that my mouse is nowhere near. It's as if my mouse is actually down and to the left. I used the ruler tool and I am apparently selecting text boxes that are at least 200 pixels away from my mouse. Like it has this weird large radius of selection, EXCEPT it only allows some text boxes to be selected but not others. Meaning certain text boxes are inconsistently selectable. It only selects text boxes that are being used for ASCII artwork and doesn't like selecting text boxes containing regular text. Why is there a preference when everything is spaced out, the same font, and font size? I just need t

Illustrator crashed just a bit, and when it automatically reopened, the toolbar on the left side of the screen was different (tools in different orders, things like the shapes all being their own button instead of living under one, etc)! I think it may have reverted to an older version of the program?

For some reason Edit>Path> offset path does nothing.  I made a simple rectangle just to test on a clean shape , even try with the quick actions button, but no menu pops up. Am I doing something wrong?

Working with AI for 20+ years and these slight changes are what piss me off the most.Within the layers panel, objects with no fill or stroke are showing up in the layer thumbnail in outline mode.A quick glance to this thumbnail assures no stroke or fill are present in this cut layer, which is neccessary for output to printer. Now it shows object in outline mode which looks like a black stroked object.Is there anyway to view all layer thumbs in preview mode like the past versions? Is this a bug?
