Hi,I'm new to Adobe Illustrator, so this is most likely just user error. However, when I open a stock photo I just bought from Adobe Stock, it doesn’t show individual layers. It only appears as if it were a PNG or JPEG. I can't modify the vectors or remove the transparency grid. Am I doing something wrong?

Hi I have a logo I want to export with a transparent background in SVG format. However it keeps adding a white background, eventhough the illustrator file has a transparent one. It works perfectly when I export the file as  PNG.  Can you tell me what I am doing wrong. I have attached the file. 

Is it possible to design a flyer with 8 pages, where each page is 21 cm x 9.9 cm, and print it on an A3 sheet of paper in a foldable triplet format? or are there other ways ? As a designer I should think about it or printing house can find the ways

Hi all. This is my first time altering letters for a wordmark. As you can see directly below, letters that were made by Create Outlines and not changed have a really smooth curve - it looks great.However for the letters I've editedIt's even more obvious when zoomed out Does anyone have any tips for improving this? I've tried the smoothing tool but it didn't do a huge amount. As a logo, it will be quite small and I'm concerned it looks jagged and also clearly different to the other letters. Thanks in advance   

Dear all, thank you for reading my dilemma in advance.Basically, I have a pdf file that has four fonts which is all in (Embedded Subset) Truetype (CID); encoded in Identity-H.As I am editing it in Illustrator and converting it into a pdf, I see two of the font changed to (Embedded Subset) Truetype; encoded in Ansi. I have further explored if I view the orginally pdf in Illustrator, even if I did not edit anything, whenever I save it us pdf, the font will automatically change to Ansi. I am wondering if anyone could provide me a solution so that even after I edited in illustrator and saved as pdf, the font will stay embedded, cid and Identity- H. please find attached a comparison, the left hand side is the current status after I saved it as pdf and the right hand side is a screenshot of the orginal document properties. Please enlight me on this thank you so much for your time 

Hi there,I've been trying to figure this out for days and it's driving me nuts - how to get this effect using Illustrator.I have tried using pattern brushes and clipping masks, but still can't seem to get the level of control I need (angle direction, colours) to achieve this look.Was it created using a plugin perhaps?This reference is definitely a vector file.Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated !!{Renamed by MOD}

I create my designs in Canva and download them as a SVG and import into Illustrator if I need to size up for printing purposes. I normally place the SVG file into Illustrator, and it is the exact size. Now when I place the SVG into Canva, there is extra space around the design and the design is not the correct dimensions. Does anyone know how to fix this?

After asking my friend, I found that this problem seems to only exist on Mac systems.① Establish a clipping mask group, ☑️ Knockout;② Drawing shapes within the clipping mask group reduces transparency, but does not have knockout effect.But if I remove the clipping group and change it to a regular group, I can achieve knockout effect.But previewing in the navigator panel is normal, and Transparency Flattener is also normal. This is what I discovered while knockout in the combining group, which made me very distressed because if combining and knockout at the same time, it would be very convenient to achieve this kind of overlapping effect on a Windows computer, but I'm Mac😭 Can this problem be solved by modifying the settings?

...how do I turn it off?Thanks!

Hello, there will be a script that restores the rotations to zero degrees "0°" of each selected object. I ask Chatgpt but unfortunately he doesn't get it. I have several objects selected with different rotation angles and doing it manually is very laborious.

I recently updated my OS from Catalina to Big Sur and I'm on Illustrator 2022. I can no longer create picture clippings from Illustrator. I used to be able to drag an object (or collection of selected objects) from my Illustrator artboard to the desktop and create a Picture Clipping file. I create these for consistency across many files or to update old artwork. I just drag a picture clipping from my desktop into an open Illustrator artboard and the objects would appear with all of the layering and swatches intact. Now I cannot drag anything from Illustrator to the desktop at all. It gives a werid noise. I can still use the old picture clippings that I've created, but I cannot create new ones. Has anyone else discovered this? I know there arent a lot of folks who use picture clippings, but they have been part of my workflow for decades. I tried using the CC Libraries as a substitute for our studio to use in a similar manner, but it was so slow compared to picture clippings. I

Dear Community,I'm using Illustrator 2025 on a Mac. When I try to export a file, I encounter an error. Can anyone help me resolve this?Thanks in advance!

Has anyone experienced this before ... every now and then illustrator makes his library a lot smaller ...Is there an option to keep the library open when al documents are closed ? Thanks in advance for the feedback and with kind regards 

When the shortcut D is pressed, the default fill and stroke are set. With similar behavior, I want to make only stroke exactly the same as the default graphic style, without changing the current fill. This is probably not a feature in Illustrator, right?   Not only making the main properties similar, such as stroke width, but also making the appearance exactly the same. Of course I know that script can't handle the appearance, but I'm trying to find a path to achieve this in some way, such as dynamic actions or applying graphic styles. If it can be done with normal Illustrator functionality, that's fine.   Any ideas?

Hi there! I've been trying to use gradients to make pattern brushes and in order to have accurate colour shading on curved objects.However, without rasterizing, then image tracing a gradient, you simply cannot use an object as any type of brush as long as it has a gradient.Does anybody in this community of adobe gurus know how to magic this bummer away?Many thanks!
