I had a terrible lag when panning, zooming etc. in Illustrator. This only occured when holding down key shortcuts involving the space button.

Hello everyone,Is there is a way to quicken the process of changing the values of mutiple swatches simultaneously insted of clicking each one manualy. For example I have 50 swatches but I dont want any of them to be below 6 percent in CMYK  so I have to manually lower all the values of cmyk for each one individually. Ty in advance.I hope I was clear enough.

When I use the Type tool in Illustrator it inserts a # at the end of my text, It's not in the text box but seems to be attached. How do I remove it? Also, how do I insert a Trademark symbol into my document so I can see it? Every time I insert one, I can't see it even if I bring it to the front in the layers panel. I'm new to Illustrator but have been using PS regularly for 15+ years and its easy compared to Illustrator - it looks the same but doesn't act the same! I'm on a Mac. Thanks!   

Hello!Listen, I know that i am "late to the party" on this issue. Does anyone have .acb files they could share for Pantone Solid Coated swatches?

Hi everyone! My Illustrator artboard is sized at 1200 pixels wide x 300 pixels high. I'm trying to place a PSD file that's sized at 1200x300px at 300 ppi, but when I do it doesn't fill the artboard as expected. Instead, it places it at about a quarter of the expected size. If I try to size it up, the resolution goes down to 72 ppi and the image is blurry. This seems to only happen when my document is using pixels as the unit--if I'm using inches, the image places correctly. I've tried both using the "place" option and dragging and dropping. I'm using Ai 2025 v. 29.0.1 on a 2023 Macbook Pro running on Sonoma 14.6. Appreciate any help I can get!

Suddenly the most simple copy and paste will not work from indesign into illustrator.It will work the other way (can copy/paste) from illustrator to indesign.Item a simple vector box (or anything else for that matter).Drag and drop, also not working.Literally NO paste option available in illustrator.I restarted with new preferences.I changed preference to switch off the SVG as per some other posts.Still not working.Making things very difficult for me, as that's something I usually do, with NO issues every few minutes.Please help!!

Is it possible to enter a precise angle to rotate text with the touch type tool?

I have a super fast M2 Max 14" and when I have the laptop open and I'm working in Illustrator on my Apple monitor it lags really really badly (and has done since I got it a few months ago). Just selecting items, moving, recolouring etc and Illustrator appears to freeze for a second or two. The moment I close the laptop it works smoothly on my main monitor. It's infurating because I like to use my laptop monitor for reference docs/Zoom etc etc while working in Illustrator. Is anyone else experiencing this and or know of a solution?

Since Illustrator 29 and new Photoshop I suffer an annoying ghosting bug on my LG Ultra Fine display with 5k (at an iMac Pro from 2017). I thought is was only realted  to Adobe products. But it is not.It is a problem of the display itself.

This is a terrible bug - where no more artboards can be duplicated, after a row of 7 fill the horizonal width of the canvas. Even though there is plenty space remaining, AI won't leave a line-break so to speak and start from there, instead somehow it thinks "no more space on right - ERROR"  (all bottom row arboards were made manually by alt dragging, just for context)Also I tried to duplicate the ones on a new line, situated to the left, hoping it would continue to duplicate to the right, but I just get the error. For context I am using the Duplicate Artboard menu item on the Artboard panel  

Hello everyone,I have an issue with the software Adobe Illustrator on my Mac. I can’t activate the new color profiles I installed. The new color profiles don’t appear in Illustrator’s color management settings, even after restarting the app and the system. I verified that the profiles are recognized by other software (it's OK with Photoshop & InDesign). As usual, the file are placed in the folder (visible in macOS) : /Library/ColorSync/Profiles/... Is this a known issue on Mac with Illustrator? Are there other step to install an profiles? Thanks - MacBook Pro: Sonoma 14.6.1- Illustrator: 29.1 / 28.7.2 / 27.9.6- Files Profile ICC: /Library/ColorSync/Profiles/...

Every time I open Illustator 2025, this huge pop-up window appears, prompting me to upgrade my product. Selecting "Don't show again" does absolutely nothing, regardless of which I click next ("Upgrade now", "Maybe later", "View all...", or just the "X" to close).Not only is it annoying in itself (I can't/don't want to upgrade), it slows down my work by:1. slowing everything down while waiting for the pop-up to load2. making me waste my time closing it, and closing it, and closing it If anyone knows how to get rid of this, I'll be eternally grateful.
