Anytime I double-click on an Illustrator file to open it, the Illustrator CS6 window opens up too small to view the file. It comes up with an error message that says "Can't open the illustration. There is not enough room for the window; increase document area and try again."If I then click on the box to expand the Illustrator window to full-size, then I can open the file. It's just frustrating that everytime I try to open an AI file by double-clicking on it, I get this error message.

I'm building large gang sheets in illustrator (22.5 inches x 240 inches), exporting them to png (300 dpi, type optomized hinted) but when opening these files in photoshop or another application, even illustrator, they are only 2.1933 inches X 23.3196. Putting the pngs back to the original size makes them pixelated. I do the exact same sequence in Illustrator 2024 and have no issues at all. I've searched the documentation for any information but I can't seem to find any setting that would affect this. Any ideas or suggestions?

I am brand new to Adobe everything. I am using Illustrator to design t-shirts.  I struggle to modify geometry with the Direct Selection tool since every time I click it, it will switch to the Selection tool. I tried Ctrl+Shift+B, which worked temporarily on one design but not the other. I tried turning off Real-Time Drawing and Editing, which worked temporarily. I have been able to manipulate rectangles but not triangles.  I have a 2022 Asus ROG Flow X16 and the newest version of Illustrator. If there are any other significant updates, changes, or pointers that would be helpful for my device, please share them so I don't have to make more posts plz and thank you.

Hey All,I'm not able to adjust the text boxes, and general shapes, sizing since the last update. Before I was able to grab an anchor point and adjust the box size in general, but now I'm only able to grab an individual anchor point and have to adjust each point individually. << I hope that all makes sense. Is anyone else having this issue? Any help in fixing it would be greatly appreciated--it's getting rather annoying and slowing down my work output and flow. Cheers!

I'm having an issue with text not bottom aligning within the text frame. I have the Area Type set to bottom (as pictured). The text within the frame will align to the bottom as I am resizing it, but after I'm done resizing, the text moves back to the top of the text frame. I can't figure out why it's doing this.

I'm having a problem where I've already downloaded Adobe Creative Cloud on my computer and should have free access to Adobe Illustrator through my university's student account, but for some reason the only versions of Illustrator that show up in the Creative Cloud are the web version and the tablet version. How do I fix this?

Hi,I created a long vertical file (resume) 210 mm x 580 mm. I thought it would be possible to split it automatically into two files when exporting to PDF, but it wasn't possible. So I decided to rearrange the design and changed the size to 210 x 294 and created a second artboard the same size to which I moved the elements that did not fit the first one.Now when I try to export it as a PDF the second artboard is exported as a blank page. All the elements are in the artboard and in the preview export window they are visible also. When I exported it as PNG it was visible. I would appreciate your help in resolving this issue. 

Hi EveryoneHave a customer of mine that is converting AI files to PDF and then trying to print PDF but get an ERROR: stackunderflow error after first page is printed. They are using 4 Konica Minolta C450i copiers 3 have IC-420 Fiery controllers and 1 uses standard controller using PS drivers. If they print directly from AI it prints all pages. I narrow it down to PS drivers once I changed to PCL the PDF's worked but the Fierys dont play well with PCL drivers on them. Need to see if someone as a solution for me. Also attached the error page. Thanks

Nothing has changed, no settings has been manipulated with, I've even tried resetting all setting and reinstalling the app, but my vectors and objects no longer snap to guidelines. Smart guide is on, snap to point is on, everything else is off. I can't zoom and center the objects to the guide lines anymore... Please help!

Hello! I'm new to Illustrator plugins (extensions) building and scripting. I just wanted to understand if there is a way to access CC library objetcs via CEP plugin. I want a plugin to read some properties of CC library assets, like color, gradeints, masks, etc.

Hi All!I've asked to generate background in rectangle for description "White room, curtains and window at the left" and got "One or more words in your prompt violate user guidelines". Screenshot is attached.What could be a problem? P.S. Midjourney and ChatGPT generated image with the same prompt as usually very well.I've tried it for the first time (just for test) and even first request failed. Also Topics requested to send this post do not relate to the issue. So I just select first of them "Performance". 

Hi,We use a lot of dynamic symbols in the fashion industry to make colorways and keep the link with the original sketch which is in black and white.In Illustrator CC 2019 (23.1.1) and CC2020 (24.3) version on Mac and Windows, I noticed several bugs with the dynamic symbols:When I copy a dynamic symbol (CTRL + C / CTRL+V), the outline of the copy disappears.When I copy a dynamic symbol (ALT + Drag & Drop), the outline of the copy disappears.When I copy a dynamic symbol using CTRL + C / CTRL + F, the outline of the copy is normal.When I copy a dynamic symbol from one Illustrator document to another, the outline of the copy disappears.Do you have any idea where this problem comes from? Thanks for your help !  Daté TETEGAN

Hello Community, I need help with an Adobe Illustrator script for Stacked Object Distribution. Simple objects work fine, but when they are objects with a clipping mask, the same does not happen. Objects with a mask are stacked according to the content they have inside in order to align with the simple objects. Let me explain in the sample image.

Hello Community, I hope you can help me.This past week working in Adobe Illustrator 29.1 everytime I "place" another .ai file in my base illustrator doc it comes in as a group.  Inside the group everything is clipped.  It is supposed to be a linked file. Does anyone know what glitch may have corrupted the "place" function? Thank you for your thoughts.

We just had a large wall graphic with several placed links - had one of the links change to another in the document. Before we send files to the printer we make a JPG which shows files correctly but the AI file is changed. Anyone have that issue?

When I open illustrator file an error pops up that says "Program Files (x86)/common files/adobe/startup scripts CC/adobe InDesign/indesign-v20.0.jsx" I know its not an indesign file because i opened it yesterday before i installed illustrator updates over night

With latest Illustrator update, this error has started appearing.The document gets switched to wireframe and can revert only by restarting AI.I have brand new MacBook Pro – hardware is not the problem.What's wrong?

For the last 3 years I cannot get the pen tool to work properly in Illustrator.I'm using the Creative Cloud and upgrading whenever a new version comes out,I've dumped preferences, restarted , created brand new documents, etc.But no matter what I do - the pen tool tries to snap to something.I click my cursor where I want the point/node to land, and it goes somewhere else.I've made sure that all the "snap to..." options are turned off in the view menu, but it keeps happening.I've noticed if I zoom in really close and do it, it works fine. But that's not good enough. This has been buggy for the last 5 or more versions.Does anyone have any solutions (using iMac 10.14.6 but it's been doing this for the last 3 or 4 OSs') 

Hi! I am a meek student new to the world of adobe -- I have been making a drawing for an upcoming deadline and it is turning out 'funky.' No matter if I export it as a png or jpeg or PDF it looks really grainy and the hatches overlap all over eachother. I have tried to increase the resolution to 300 600 and 900 ppi but it is not getting any better. I am confused because it looks fine on my screen in illustrator... so much so that I was able to screenshot it and the screenshot portion looks way better than the same part in the jpeg (attaching) when in InDesign. I need to plot the drawing and Indesign crashes when I try to insert the file as .ai (yes eek I recognize that means there are probably big problems with the file!) If anyone has any advice for quick ways to output the illustrator file - as I see it excellent and flawless on my screen in the application - I would love the advice. If someone has posted this before I am very sorry for the double-post, I promise I tried to sear

Hi, would anyone know why the gradients I have in Illustrator show up as transparent when I open the file in Corel Draw? Is there a specific way I need to be setting up my file? Thanks!

I need a way to change the size of the logo so that they look proportional next to each other.If I use one height or width for every individual logo, some logos are large and some are too small..is there maybe a script for this or plugin? Is resizing them by hand really the only way?
