So I created a logo on illustrator for my boats design logo and I was told to use vector file so I created it in illustrator with some help from my wife. The reason I wanted to do it with vector is because I need to make tiny stickers with it and also blow it up to about a 3 foot x 3 foot sticker. I am very happy with the logo. I think it looks good! I of course, am all finished and then run into the problem of exporting and saving. When I tried to export it to press quality PDF it says “ the documents transparency space doesn’t match the destination color space shown in the output panel to avoid color appearance changes in the PDF click cancel and choose a destination color space that matches the document color space or click OK to continue with current settings” MY GOAL is to send the logo to a commercial printing company. So what I did is went to output settings, and changed the destination from default CMYK to RGB (because I looked up best destination for press printing o

In extend script, is the active layer the selected layer in the layers palette or not necessarily?In the document there was an active layer on the reference newLayer (with name Layer 1 copy).Then a temp layer was created on top. After working with the temp layer, it is shown in the layers palette as highlighted in blue - it is the active layer. Now we need to activate the previous layer newLayer again. To do this, I lock and hide the temp layer, and do: doc.activeLayer = newLayer;But even with the subsequent app.redraw();, the layer palette looks like newLayer is an inactive layer. 

 You see a group that consists of: on the left is a regular rectangle, on the right is a clipping mask, in which the mask is the same rectangle as on the left, and inside the mask are three rectangles (squares): white, above it orange, and above the orange white with a blue border. Simple, right?The question is equally simple, how many groups are there from a scripting perspective? It would seem that the general group and the clipping group are just two groups. But Illustrator finds three groups.Let's simplify and ungroup the outer group. Now we have two separate objects: a rectangle on the left and a clipping mask (group) on the right. So there's one group, and Illustrator will agree with us on that.Question: where does the third group come from in the first case?

There are a few ideas to improve the user experience.Make it possible for the left ruler to write numbers in a line from left to rightMake it like in Photoshop, when the hotkey tool is pressed, then when released, return to the previous selected tool.Gradients through points copy from document to document without loss.Libraries: gradients through points should retain the ability to edit from the library and in the library.Guides of different colors.Ability for individual editing areas to change the crop and color so that it is saved as a background when exported.Hotkey for zooming the view (zooming in) to the selected object or to all if nothing is selected and a separate key for zooming to all.Highlighting by highlighting the selected vertex.Change the display color of the selected vertex or face.Make a second kind of corner rounding, super elipses.Add text, typography functions from inDesign.Make a hotkey for unbreakable space.In find and replace, add the ability to select text and p

If I have an entire font in images or vector files, is it possible to use Illustrator to create a font file that can be used on other systems? What Adobe product do I need to use to create a .ttf file if I cannot use Illustrator? 

So last night I got a file template that was a pdf for a project. I proceeded to do work within that PDF in Illustrator and ended the day by saving it into the sent file (So it was saved as a PDF). When trying to open it today, the file previews as all the work I did on the home page, but when opened, it only shows everything on the artboard, not all the work I did on the side of the artboard. Can anyone please help so I can see all the stuff outside the artboard?

Once upon a time, the right docked panels didn't auto collapse when switching to different tabs (the taller panels, like Properties, would involve scrolling). If they did auto collapse, they would pop back when you switched to a shorter panel (say, Align). Now, the panels stay collapsed until you click their tab again. Is there a way to keep prevent the panels from auto-collapsing? Here are some images to illustrate (pun intended): (Using Illustrator 29.0 on a 16" Macbook running 14.6, but also happens on a Mac Pro. It's the Illustrator UI, not the MacOS).

Greetings, Why does my exported PDF show Illustrator created layers when a coworker views it in Acrobat on a Mac, but when they open the PDF in Illustrator, the layers are gone? I'm on windows and I see the layers when opening the PDF both in Acrobat and Illustrator. Thanks for the help.

When I create a guide it's always locked even if the Guides Lock button is not activated. I always have to click on it twice. A first click to lock guides and a second click to unlock them. Then I can select and move guides normally. It has happened with any upgrade of Illustrator. Does anyone have the same problem? Why could this be? Is there any solution? Best regards!

just created a dynamic button with rounded corners the text inside the button though is not centered its noticeable and i can't seem to change where the text sits in the button

In Illustrator esiste una funzione SEMPLICE che permette di trovare e sostituire un determinato colore all'interno di un file, su una pagina specifica o in una selezione.In prattica una cosa simile alla funzione "trova e sostituisci" utilizzata per i testi.Grazie!

I'm new to illustrator and am currently using it for a school project. I'm trying to use the scissors tool to cut out a line, but whenever I do that, it deletes the entire line segment. It also appears that after I do this a 'white box' appears and covers up the segment that just got detached. Any help on fixing this? It's definitely operator error, but I can't seem to find a fix online. My goal is to get rid of that small vertical line that I tried to cut at the beginning of the video. Thanks in advance. 

Hey all,    I have to make a lot of technical drawings of garments at work, and i've been trying to create a script that would allow me to make different types of dashed lines super fast.   The script I use (or at least want to use) is supposed to offset the line to a given distance (this part works like a charm), and then transform the new line into a dashed line. However, whenever I try to script a dashed line (that is not the default setting of 12pt/ 0pt), it just won't work (or kinda work). What it does, even though I change the settings (to 2pt/2pt), is that it only picks up the first information (making it 2pt/0pt), making the dashed line appear full, since there is no space in between the dashes.    Does anyone know how i could make this work? Or maybe just change the default dashed lines settings so that i don't have to change them when recording the script?

Hi everybody,When I try to re-edit or upgrade the links of the images placed in Illustrator 29.0.1 (on Ventura 13.7) the dialogue box "Links" freezes and is no longer activ unless I restart the app.Despite this, while opening the file I am asked to re-import the same image several repeated times…is there any solution ?

I am experiencing an issue with Adobe Illustrator when working with the 3D and Materials feature. After downloading and importing an .sbar file to use in my project, the application unexpectedly crashed. Since then, I’ve been unable to access or use the 3D and Materials feature at all.I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the application, as well as resetting all settings, but the issue persists. Could you please advise on how I should proceed to resolve this? Thank you very much in advance for your help.

According to this documentation:To use a dotenv variable: process.env.ENV_VARIABLE // ENV_VARIABLE is the name of the variable you want to access.Pretty straight forward node stuff.... So in my root folder I create a dotenv file ".env"there I put:TEST_VARIABLE=HITHEREThen in a js file I run:console.log(cep_node.process.env.TEST_VARIABLE);This is appearing as undefiend.  What do I need to do to use my dotenv file?

Basically, when I use repeat and mirror, the objects that are affected get clipping masks. I have to then manually delete the path that the clipping masks makes around the object. Is there a way I can make it so I don't have these automatic clipping masks when using repeat > mirror? It would save a lot of time. The screenshots attatched show that when using mirror repeat on an elipse and then using pathfinder, the shape takes after the rectangular clipping mask, not the elipse as intended.

I created a rectangle and an oval side by side and make them into a compound path.If I fill the rectangle with a linear or radial gradient, the oval takes on the gradient as well.However if I fill the rectangle with a free form gradient with just 2 points, the oval turns black. I was hoping it would take on the gradient as well like the linear or radial gradient.Is there a way to make it work?

Hi,I have a lot of Actions and a lot of Scripts and would like for them to be more accessible.  If there was a way to have a second Actions window or a Scripts window at all, that would be great!Thanks in advance!

One of my document's background has turned entirely white around the artboard and I can't figure out how to fix it. The only thing I've found is that pressing cmd/shift/D changes it transparent.

How do I flip text from the outside of a circle to the inside?

Hello Adobe Comunity, a little complaint so i hope adobe team picks up this comment,I have always used the Warp tool to warp a  type on path. So there is text on a path, and than i modify the path by playing around with the warp tool untill i'm satisfied (select all the point of the path and warp it with the brush). But that stopped working in the latest version!I'm  sure its a bug so hopefully we can use this option in the future again

This is driving me a bit bonkers. I hope someone can help me. After a recent update for Illustrator, when you select a shape and go to Colour Picker, it now gives you a live preview of the colour you select. The selected shape changes colour in real time while your moving the cursor around in the colour picker window.This was an amazing update but it suddenly stopped working a couple of days ago and I can't understand why. I tried contacting Adobe support but they were of no help at all. Some guy was remotely controlling my computer and it looked as if he was using Illustrator for the first time ever. After he clicked around on things that have nothing to do with the colour picker, he just said that feature doesn't exist! I told him that I've been using it but he didn't have any idea about it.Has anyine else had this same issue?Any info on this would be greatly appreciated.Thanks.
