Hello, I need to automate Illustrator color separation (inkList) when printing to a file. But the scripting API doesn’t work (printColorSeparationOptions.inkList; InkPrintStatus.DISABLEINK) and just silently ignores the ink inclusion / exclusion settings. I wonder could anyone tell me is there an equivalent API via C++ SDK? Any regarding information would be appreciated.

Hello,I am opening up a .SVG in Adobe Illustrator CC 2019 and I want to create custom classes for paths. Every time I saved the save with some styling Adobe Illustrator creates class names is there a way to edit the names in Adobe Illustrator CC 2019?Hopefully this makes sense.Thank you

how can i cut this little red strip in yellow circle as it is messing with my tracing

Hello everyone.It's been awhile. I need to recreate the yellow hash marks on this tach. Note, the hash marks equal 77 and stay the same throughout, what changes is the space between the hash marks (which are the yellow lines) I'm using a .50 stroke weight.  I have no idea how to get the spaces between the hash to increase in size without increasing the area or any of the hash marks.  I've looked quite a lot on youtube for an answer and I'm not able to find one, although I came close.I've included a jpeg.  The hash need to fit inside the arched rectangle.  I hope that I've explained this problem well enough.Thank you. 

Dear Community,I’m encountering a critical issue with Adobe Illustrator on my Apple M3 Pro running macOS Sequoia (36GB memory). For the past two days, even basic actions like selecting objects have been extremely slow and laggy, regardless of file size.I’m running the latest Illustrator version (29.1) and have not installed any window management apps like Magnet.I would greatly appreciate any advice or solutions you can provide to resolve this issue.Thank you very much for your help!Best wishes,Jaz 

My fonts no longer work since Illustrator was updated to version 2024 and the same with version 2025 .   Worked just fine with the previous version.   Nothing has changed with my fonts and files I use to be able to open without missing fonts now has the fonts missing and I have tried reloading them to font book and still can not get them to recognise them.  Any help would be appreciated as I have an older file I need to update and when the new ones were installed my old version went away so I cant go back,.  thanks so muchDarren

Hello. I am looking for help with how to change the colour of a pattern brush which seems to be made up of images. I have used all of the colourization tools but none seem to allow me to change the colour from green and gone through every tutorial I can find but the colour doesnt want to change. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks

Hi everyone!I’m working on this project in Adobe Illustrator, and I’m running into two issues: Connecting Paths: I need to connect the two top paths so I can apply the same fill to the entire shape. However, I’m unsure how to join them or blend them into one cohesive path.Brush Overlap: I used the Pen Tool to add some elastic lines and then applied a brush stroke to them. However, the elastic lines are overlapping the trousers, and I’d like them to stay within the waistband area without spilling over. Any tips on how I can tackle these issues? Thanks so much in advance!

Hi I'm using Adobe Illustrator 2022, OS12.1 I know I can add URL links within Adobe, using Attributes, but does anyone know if I can do the same with an email link.If I had the option to click on an image or text to then take me to an already opened email message to a certain person. Would be great to have several individual client email links on my artwork/document, so I don't need to keep opening email app and selecting name etc. 1 button or text could do it for me.This is hopefully do-able in illustrator alone, don't want to use Acrobat or InDesign for this. Hopefully someone somewhere has an answer.Cheers Stu

I am requesting the restoration of the functionality in Adobe Illustrator that allows importing DXF files while maintaining their original groupings.Currently, when importing a DXF file, Illustrator automatically ungroups all elements, including patterns and mold structures. Even when selecting the option to group everything and later attempting to ungroup selectively, the original groupings are lost.In Adobe Illustrator 2021, this issue did not exist.After contacting Adobe's technical support team, I was informed that starting from Illustrator 2022, this functionality was removed. I was also advised to submit a request through the community for its return.Thus, I am formally requesting that this crucial functionality be reinstated. Our company heavily relies on DXF files, and manually regrouping all ungrouped components is not a viable solution. It significantly disrupts our workflow and causes unnecessary delays.I trust that Adobe prioritizes a smooth and efficient user experience. B

I added this font named Playwrite CC Portugal to Adobe Suite, and it keeps displaying like this in every programs including Illustrator and InDesign:  This is how the text appeared when I added it from the Adobe Fonts website:  It seems like all the other cursive fonts on my laptop is having a same problem. How do I solve this?

So i've got a stationary PC last November, a high-end gaming pc, hoping it would optimize my workflow with heavy duty projects. Now, when i start InDesign or Illustrator, my RAM (32GB) gets used up to a 70% usage, resulting in a slideshow. Putting the programs into efficiency mode sometimes helps, not always though. On my MacBook everything works just fine, so i assume, that the problem must be Windows related. I reinstalled the programs alsready, even reinstalled the OS, without any positive result. Need urgent help please.

This problem has been present for the last 2 weeks. The photos I put in my designs disappear automatically even if I zoom in. I constantly have to relink. But this problem prevents me from printing anymore. 

Used to be able to double click an object to create artboard that fits it But I can't do this in the last version of illustrator  double clicking with the artboard tool does nothing   How do I enable it or fix it?

I was working on a file all day long. Auto save was set for every 2 minutes as always. At some poin I started closing preview tabs I was no longer working on, I had quite a number of them oppened, and to my surpise the tab I was working on was no longer oppened. Lets say I closed it by mistake, I have worked in Illustrator for years now and if that were to happened all I had to do is go back to the folder and re-open the file and continue working. Now, here is the question, I went back to the folder, re-opened the file and to my surprise again all the work I have done during the day was reset to the previous day. Can somebody help me to recover this file?  

Hey, When i started working in illustrator today, the type tool doesn't work anymore.I can select but after i try to type anything. Illustrator doesn't respond anymore the only thing that changes is the layer name. But the text won't appear on the screen. I already reinstalled illustrator. Does anybody know a fix?

I have recently downloaded the illustrator app for iPad and have been using it for the last few days without any issues. Today I try and use it and I can only select tools and options but can't use them. Neither the Apple Pencil or finger is working, other apps they work fine. I have updated iOS and reinstalled the Ai app and it has made no difference.

I am currently working in Adobe Illustrator 2020, but this has happened to me since at least 2018-2019:I will create an RGB document, create my RGB swatches (the brand colors I use are unsaturated pastel colors) and after working with the file for a while (dragging screenshots in, playing with text layout, etc...) My unsaturated pastel colors will randomly change to a hypersaturated brighter more vibrant color. It really destroys my productivity since I end up having to go back and adjust all colors before export. I never see the actual change occur, its almost as if it happens when I have the window hidden and am looking at something else. The only thing I can image that could be causing this is when I drag in screenshots since they are foreign to the document. I've attached screenshots of what the color starts as, and what it consistently changes to in all my documents.  

I got a file that was shared to me and includes several linked images,the image previews are shown in the file, and yes the links are broken, but thats not a problem for me.What im trying is to get rid of some annoying popup that appears every 2 minutes bloking my whole system "Verifiyin access to 'some IP here'", its really frustrating.Do someone know how to get rid of this popup, setting to avoid illustrator to check this url, or something?PS: Yes I have found several post here, but no one got a right answer.PS2: No, I dont have access to that drive, not will ever.

Hope you guys and gals can help.I'm looking to get a new laptop, been using a MSI Apache Pro for the last 7 years, but it is time to upgrade.I will be using my laptop for creating SVGs using Adobe Illustrator, I also create documents, stream a little of Netflix and hoping to order the Wacom Movink 13.  Previously did a lot of photo editing using Lightroom, so might go back to that at sometime.  My budget is max £2k, preferably less.  I don't want a touchscreen.Was thinking 32gb, 1TB SSD, not sure whether an intel core ultra 7, 16 core is enough.  I'm sure it is.It's so hard to decide, Samsung, MSI, HP, Dell..... Can anyone give any recommendations.  Technology moves on so fast, I'm lost.

I'm looking to upgrade from an iMac to a 16" MacBook Pro (and buy a larger external screen for desktop use).  I'm a medium user of mostly Illustrator , InDesign and Photoshop. I'd appreciate views on the below options that are within budget. I'd like to keep it for 5 years+ so I'm thinking about future-proofing too. With Adobe programmes, is RAM or SSD more important? Opinions please!! Is the M4 Max processor worth it? Or would the M4 Pro do? Is 512GB SSD going to hamper me? Option 1 - MacBook Pro 16", M4 Pro Processor, 48GB RAM, 512GB SSDOption 2 - MacBook Pro 16", M4 Max Processor, 36GB RAM, 1TB SSD  Thanks guys.

Come posso importare le preferenze, impostazioni e aree di lavoro personalizzate che avevo nella versione 2023 di Abode alla più recente 2025?Ho notato che la mia area personale non è stata trsferita, e soprattutto ci sono impostazioni di default molto diverse da quelle che utilizzavo sulla 2023, e così mi diventa molto difficoltoso l'utilizzo della nuova versione.Qualche aiuto?
