Hellow, for the past months I've been having problems starting illustrator on my M2 Pro Mac Pro. I've tried to reboot illustrator, restart my computer but it helps for the first time but if I close illustrator and try to reopen it freezes. Takes too much time to initialize. 

I can't be the only one that runs into this, right?? You unplug your laptop from external displays, and in illustrator, photoshop....all Adobe apps, the windows and tools are all over the place and mostly off the screen. I've been running into this for a few years now (my use is occassional). Is there a magical fix to this??!?!?!

What is up with this? Its being going on across mulitple Macs and versions of Illustrator but just about EVERY time I go to copy a hex color code from the Color window nothing goes to the Mac clipboard and paste is just nothing. A second attempt at exact same process will usually be successful. However, pretty sure that on more than one occassion its taken 3 attempts. REALLY don't like having to repeat myself. 

 Hello,I am facing a problem in Adobe Illustrator. When I open or work with some files, I get this error message:“Errors were detected but could not be corrected automatically. Please send the file to Adobe for further analysis.”After checking Adobe’s documentation, I found the suggestion about unexpected global objects (swatches, symbols, brushes) and running the fixBadPluginGlobalObjectNames script. But I am still confused about how to properly fix the issue.I would really appreciate it if someone could guide me step by step:Why does this error occur?Is running the script safe for all Illustrator files?What should I do if the error keeps appearing even after running the script?Thank you in advance for your help.Best regards,Md.

When I install a new font while the program is open, it doesn’t appear in the font list. I have to close Illustrator and reopen it for the new font to show up.This is a very frustrating issue that appeared with the latest update.

As far as I can tell, Ai graphs don't let you include thousand/comma separators in the data from which graphs are created, so you need to add them after. I can't find any automatic way to do this after the graph has been created. Here's a screen shot example, in case that's helpful. I want thousand/comma separators on the Y axis and the bar value markers. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

He estado trabajando en este proyecto durante mucho tiempo, el día de ayer lo guarde sin problema y hoy al intentar abrirlo me salta este mensaje, no es la primera vez que me ocurre, ya me he contactado para estas situaciones con Adobe por mail pero nunca recibí respuesta. El mensaje anuncia que se lee parcialmente pero no es cierto: no está nada de lo que estuve trabajando, solo una mesa de trabajo en blanco. En la vista previa se ve mi trabajo intacto y el archivo sigue pesando lo que pesaba con los elementos (+300mb) pero al abrirlo en Illustrator no existe

I own a Wrap/Large format print shop and Adobe Illustrator 2023 is ruining my workflow and sometimes flat out does not work.  All of the files I used to modify, save, and export in Adobe Illustrator 2022 now crash and give me a "operation cannot be completed because there isnt enough memory (ram)" error.  Sometimes if I even try to copy and paste a completely fresh blank artboard and it crashes on me.  I have 32 gb of ram. This wasn't a problem in 2022 but Adobe removed my access to it.  I have tried resetting all of my preferences and it only made things worse.  Ocassionally, it almosts saves, runs out of memory, and completely ruins my art work by saving it as black and white jumble.  I have pasted my System info below.

I have problem in illustrator, how i can solve it ? 

Where are the layers options? Change color? Do not print? I want to change my colors on my handles. I want orange or pink. I love that black is gone though!

I have bought a new laptop, being the Microsoft Surface Laptop, 7th edition. (so not the tablet version but a full laptop) Within Adobe CC I am able to install the desktop versions of Photoshop and Acrobat apps. But for illustrator it only shows the tablet version. See screenshot. Any suggestions?

Hi All,I'm trying to get the active Illustrator document name in my plugin.The following code works perfectly in Illustrator CC 2024 and CC 2025, but it fails in CC 2026 — GetFileNameNoExt() returns an empty name.  ai::FilePath path; ASErr err = sAIDocument->GetDocumentFileSpecification(path); if (err == kNoErr && !path.IsEmpty()) { ai::UnicodeString name = path.GetFileNameNoExt(); std::string s = name.as_UTF8(); if (!s.empty()) return s; } Is there something new we are supposed to call before accessing file information?Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you,Chetan

Hello everyone,I'm trying to write a script that increases or decreases the width of strokes on shapes.for now, what I came up with (found mostly on the internet a while ago), works fine for most shapes, and it can recurse into containers like groups, read their stroke width, and increase it by a certain percentage.The problem remains with Live paint objects. I can't figure how to read their stroke width or how to change it. Any help would be appreciated!

I am creating this forest in Adobe Illustrator, and I would like to know if there is anything that can be improved.

I've experienced this twice now, both times in the last month. I design beer labels and I'll often open an older label and use it as the template for a new one. When I open the older file (an .AI file), it will load, and most of the live text will have switched to a different font arbitrarily. Some fonts switch to OTHER typefaces that exist in the same document, others switch to different weights of the same font, and still others switch to defaults like times and myriad.  Some of the switched fonts are stored locally, and others are served via Adobe Fonts. The file does this consistently even after I've restarted illustrator and restarted my computer.    I've attached a screenshot of one of the files with its original fonts (from an outlined version for print), as well as a shot with the changed fonts.   Has anyone else experienced this?   System: 2022 Mac Studio M1 Max MacOS Sonoma 14.6.1 Illustrator v 29.5.1

When converting fonts to outlines in Ai(cs3) and then saving it as a pdf (high quality print) the letter "l" appears to be bold in pdf file. Does this affect my printwork? or is a blitch in the pdf viewer or else?. I've tried converting directly from illustrator and through distiller, both the same results. Anybody?

Every time I try to import a transparent PNG. The background pops up with lines or it looks glitchy anyway to help!!!! it works sometimes, but then it just comes back out of nowhere

There’s a problem with Illustrator 2025 — when I scale objects up or down, the strokes and effects also change, but not proportionally. I checked the Preferences, and “Scale Strokes & Effects” is turned on, but it still scales everything in a very strange way.

Getting this pop-up everytime I open Adobe Illustrator 2025 v 29.1 on Win 11 PC: "To work correctly, Adobe Illustrator requires the Preferences folder permission to be 'Read-Write'. The current permission setting is incorrectly set to 'Read-Only'. Click More Info for instructions on correcting  the Preferences folder permission setting."I followed this kb: https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/preferences-folder-read-only-error.html#Adobe support agent also connected and did a clean install to no avail. Are other having this issue in Windows 11 Pro?

Screenshot colours change appearance when saving as PDF, but spot colours don't.When I screen shot an image and paste it into Illustratrator the colour is matching the original.I can use my colour picker tool to exstract that colour and fill my vector object.The problem comes in when I save the document as a PDF file, close and open up. It is then when the screen shot colour change. But the vector colour is still the original colour.I have checked 3 other exact same Macbook laptops, with the exact same settings and ALL colour profiles.All the other Macs seem to be have no issue. Only mine change.We are all running on the exact same Macbooks and versions of Illustrator.Note that if I change the document colour mode to RGB from the beginning to end of this process. The colours do not change. Unfortunately we work in CMYK mode.

Hello! I have been having an issue with Illustrator in which every time I launch the app it opens to the home page, but then immediately freezes and stops responding, and I have to use the Task Manager to close it. I have tried restarting my computer, uninstalling and reinstalling creative cloud, using the Adobe Cleaner, uninstalling and reinstalling Illustrator, ensuring that Illustrator is updated, resetting my preferences, trying an earlier release, and updating my drivers. After I tried the Adobe Cleaning it worked once, but after closing it and trying again this the issue came back. Same thing when I updated the drivers, it worked fine once but then started not responding again. Does anyone know what may be wrong?

Adobe Illustrator 2025 is demolishing my memory and I can't figure out why. I have a fairly new macbook pro (M3 Pro). I've also recently updated to macOS Sequoia 15.1.1. I typically work off of files on my desktop. I am currently working in a single file that only has a few small artboards and it takes a long time to perform any action, even type a letter on to the screen. My macActivity Monitor shows that AI '25 is taking up 4.23 GB. I had been using Illsutrator 2024 with no isssues up until a week or 2 ago. I used to be able to have many large files open at once w/ no issues and now all of a sudden I can barely work out of 1 small file.This is drastically affecting my work performance. Please help??
