Hi, I'm using the most recent version of Illustrator for Windows and I feel like you used to be able to click and drag in the kerning dialogue box number slor to change it within the character panel when you had two text characters selected. Was this removed or did I dream it up?    Wouldn't your cursor change to two opposing arrows when you hovered over the symbol of each?

I have a script that adds a new parent layer and organises pageItems in sublayers. I wish for the view of the new layers to be collapsed rather than expanded and only show the parent layer. Thanks.   

In Adobe Illustrator, is there a way to check the Overprint Preview status (it looks like Overprint Preview is a property of the document) through a script? I have tried catching an error if I try to re-enable it, however that does not work. try { app.executeMenuCommand('ink'); alert("on"); } catch (e) { alert("already enabled"); } 

Hello everyone. I have been struggling for a few days with a problem when creating a script. I want to create a script that will add a bleed to my work on each side and fill it with a mirror image of the design. I have found the perfect solution which unfortunately does not work properly. The script adds the mirroring in the top left corner instead of deploying it near the edges of each page. Is anyone able to help me and fix this?Link o script: https://github.com/mike-brady/Adobe-Illustrator-Scripts/commit/9821eba21d90c941f486b9f0cd5c8f848c37db35#diff-c99224534502bef7d85458507eafbc45c048aa381c761c46408463779661e9d1 

I want to convert an SVG image to a PNG image that is 1200 pixels wide (as recommended by a journal). To do this, I changed the units to pixels in Illustrator and scaled the image to a W value of 1200. However, when I check the dimensions in the file properties after exporting, it says 2258 x 810 pixels. Can anyone tell me why this is and how I can scale the image correctly?

Hi ,I have a client that wants a Vcard Code using QRCode maker in Illustrator CC. I have used the QRCode Maker in illustrator but every time I scan it I am receiving it as TEXT instead of ADDRESSBOOK. The TEXT version won't allow me to add contact info into my address book. Is there a script or something I need to put at the beginning of the QRCode maker to change it over so it will read like a vCard? I need this resolved as soon as possible. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

I am running Mac OS 12.2.1 with Illustrator 26.0.3 and all of the sudden the arrow keys stopped working. I have relaunched the application and restarted my laptop and it is not fixing it. Any suggestions?  In Photoshop they work fine so I know it's not the keyboard.   Thanks!

Kann ich ein Objekt innerhalb einer Ebene an eine bestimmte Stelle der Reihenfolge einfügen (nicht nur davor oder dahinter)? Habe einen Plan mit nur einer Ebene aber tausenden von Objekten vorgegeben... 

Hi, I'm still using an old AI version, but I don't think it matters here: I'm involved in recreating a logo (that some unknown designer created, and the original Vector art is lost), based on a (hi-res) JPG... The logo is loosely based on Avant Garde font, BUT STILL NEEDS SOME ADJUSTMENTS AND TWEEKINGS.  Doing those changes causes the lines' THICKNESS not to be totally consistent, which is what one expects a logo to be... So my question is, please see below, just like creating a stroke (1), giving it a certain thickness, and then doing an "outline stroke" to get #2, I'm looking for just THE OPPOSITE, take a path (my traced logo), like #2, AND TURN IT INTO A SINGLE STROKE. Then I will give all the letters the appropriate thickness — and then outline them. That way all the letters in the logo will be at a consistent thickness, as a logo is expected to be. Can this be  done? Thanks for your input!  

I'll start by saying that I'm a beginner. I'm looking for suggestions on best practices for setting up the workflow for designing a logo for use on the web and for traditional printing.In my specific case, I'm facing a problem regarding colors. To decide which color or colors to adopt, I take inspiration from the colors and examples available on the web. So, RGB colors. Questions:1) How do I convert RGB values ​​to CMYK while preserving the color chosen in the RGB profile.2) Illustrator warns when an RGB or CMYK color is outside the Gamut of the set profile. I also get the same warning with the RGB profile and the Web gamut. So, what should I pay attention to and how important are these warnings?

I'm kind of new to Illustrator, so it might be a simple thing, but I'm trying to draw some lines with the brush tool and after I'm finished, the lines move somewhere random and it is very annoying. Already contacted support and they were not able to help. macOS Sequoia 15.2M1 Pro Macbook Pro 16 GB RAMAdobe Illustrator 29.2.1 Here's a video of the issue: https://f.io/G2BhZ2wb

I have a huge collection of fonts that I have been using for years and managing/activating through FontExplorerX.  It seams it is no longer connecting to Illustrator CC2025 (and other current Adobe apps).  Has FontExplorer become obsolete/incompatible?  If so, how can I use my fonts (lots of which are not Adobe Fonts or Google Fonts)?

With writing and symbols created, i choose a background color, however, when sending it to the front, only the writing comes to the front, not the symbol. I have already expanded it and everything else, the error continues, has anyone ever been through this and can help me? grateful 

the screen recording below shows the behaviour of the Selection tool , and is consistent on all objects (text, shape, path, etc). I was working on a vector then wasnt able to scale it, so updated all versions of AI but same behaviour. Is there a setting that was changed? the capslock is off. I was just working in a file a few days ago and was able to see the bounding box and scale as needed.Also, the guides have been behaving differently for months. once i drag it out, i cant select it or move it with the mouse, i have to manually adjust X and Y coordinates. Cant select it to delete it (youll see in the layers panel the little blue 'dot' that indicates a layer is selected doesnt appear. If i highlight the guide layer i can then click the trash icon to delete it). Thought id include in the recording since its been baffling me. Screen Recording of Behaviour 

Hi everyone! I am totally new to illustrator. I'm working on a 3D capsule in Illustrator using the 3D effect.

Can you tell me how to set my document default to CMYK. I set the document colour mode to CMYK, changed colour settings to CMYK. Yet when I open new "print" document I still get the RGB colour swatches. Should I not get CMYK ?

I have been having this issue for a while on various different versions of illustrator. There seems to be a bug where I am not able to recolour certain objects without having to double click and then double click again and then one more time to open the objects up (even though i did not group these) and only then can I re-colour, I think it usually happens on certain objects when make a copy of them. It's just behaving very strange and it's making it very difficult to get anything done! Help with this would be much appreciated. I have attached a video to help Illustrate the issue.
