Questions

I'm trying to save several typographic designs as SVG, type as SVG not outline. For some files it works perfectly, with others I get an error saying "Text is converted to outline". I can't figure out why, I'm hoping someone here can help.Thanks

I have created a relatively simple tree based on a triangle and multiple line segment objects. I want it to be split into two colors (green and white). Inverted from the background. The fill of the triangle is transparent.  I have not found a way to make strokes transparent.  Is there an easy way to accomplish.  Attached image hopefully clarifies intent. 

What am I missing here? I have Illustrator v28.7.2 and Illustrator v29.0 on my computer and I can't figure out why the brush tool is behaving completely different from one version to the next.  In this video the v28.7.2 brush behaves the same as it has for years in illustrator. In this v29.0 example it isn't really working at all; deleteing previously drawn lines and averaging the art into something unrecognizable.  Same exact brush/ stroke used on bother versions, sames scale on the screen. All the paint brush tool settings are exactly the same too (set to fully accurate under fidelity, same settings for edit selected paths with 6 pixels, fill brush strokes, etc).  I can't figure out what I'm missing.  I'm grateful for any help! 

I downloaded Illustrator 2025 and deleted the 2024 version, only to realise that my favourited fonts had not carried over to the new version. I tried to redownload the 2024 version but could not find it. Does anyone know how I can restore my favourited fonts? I had spent a lot of time curating them and I would be upset to lose all that effort.  Thanks in advance for any help.

This issue has been around for years for many users and I still haven't found a fix on these forums. If anyone has a new idea PLEASE HELP - this issue is driving me crazy.Illustrator cannot render CMYK colours accurately on an external monitor. Every other program including Adobe programs with the same colour settings display an accurate colour, but Illustrator shows something that is way off. I have tried multiple computers and screens all calibrated with a Spyder. Prints from illustrator files come out correct but in order to proof them I have to check the file on my laptop.Please if you have any ideas help! I have already gone through Adobe remote support and they gave up, as well as Nvidia (my graphics card) Remote support.I have used both a Dell Ultrasharp and a Thinkvision p27u and the problem persists.

Hi to everyone!I have a problem with copy/paste Remembers Layers (especially from one document to another). I turned on the setting for pasting objects into the original levels, but it's not working, at least not the first time: I have to select again the graphics I have to copy, paste it and then (if I am lucky!) it will work the second or third time, and I don't understand why.What bothers me even more (and this happened especially when i am in remote working through Anydesk) when I'm copy/pasting the color information is not retained, i.e. if I copy a black only object in CMYK it will be pasted into another level and not in the original one, therefore making it a 4-color black. Is this happened to someone? Thank you in advance!

How can I opt out of the beta program? Because it is causing a nightmare issue over trying to install the Astute Plugin Suite. Any advice would be helpful.

Where has the nudge command gone to? if gone, then how do i move objects with the arrow keys? Help, I need this function. its got to be somewhere. was in all previous versions of ai. 

Hello, I just updated to v29 and can no longer transform objects using the selection tool (click the object, hold down shift and drag from an anchor point to scale the object.) It wants me to use the Transform tool, which is fine I guess but would much prefer to use the selection tool. Any ideas on how I can do this? Thanks in advance!

When I'm saving a file after a little more changes illustrator crashes, in the task manager it reaches 100% usage in RAM and Memory, AIRobin in front with more usage, I've already lost a file because I couldn't save your changes, I've already uninstalled illustrator and Adobe Cloud but the problem continues, first it happened in a file, I thought it was him, but after editing another the problem is the same, I have a good Pc I never had this problem of use at 100%, I have 32GB of RAM, SSD 1tb and a Ryzen 5 4600G.I have also checked if there was any corrupted file, there is not, how can I solve this?I'm very frustrated because I can't work and I'm not using AiRobin!!

Recentemente o meu Illustrator esta com algum erro, ao tentar abrir qualquer janela dentro do programa ele simplismente não abre. Consigo notar que a janela pisca na tela e fecha imeditamente. A primeira vez que notei foi na atualização 2025. Porém agora mesmo nas versões antigas o erro continua. Não sei como resolver. Já reinstalei os drives de vídeo e o Creative Cloud, porém o problema persiste.

I have a shape I applied 'type on a path' to, and after adding the text to it, the path is not able to be separated from the text applied to it. If I try to use 'expand', the path is deleted. The only workaround I know of is to duplicate the path first before applying text to it so I have a clean copy.

Eu to tentando abrir um documento meu no Illustrator que aparece a msg "Este documento obtém objetos incompatíveis". Diz que eu preciso abrir o arquivo com a versão que eu criei ele. Mas o problema é que esse arquivo eu tava usando ele de boa no sábado e ainda no sábado ele simplesmente parou de abrir e aparecer esse aviso. Eu já atualizei o app, eu já testei nas duas versões e não é isso. Não é problema de espaço porque eu to criando outros arquivos e ta funcionando. E esse é o único arquivo que ta com esse problema. Não tem, a princípio, nada, nenhum erro! Eu não sei o que fazer, não queria ter que refazer o que eu já fiz. 

Sometimes I start Illustrator and everything is fine. I create a circle....or square and I can rotate like normal. Other times, I can only expand or contract the shape. The arrow option to rotate will not show up. If it is an object that I have placed on the artboard, I never have any problem rotating. It seems to only be shapes I create with the shape tools. I have reset my preferences but to no avail. Thanks for your help.   Sincerely, My Sanity   {Renamed by MOD}

I have saved a document in illustrator 2025, and reopened it in illustrator 2024, (because the pencil tool didnt work in 2025) and now all the hidden layers are deleted. That is really not good 

there used to be a cross inside the elipse tool to draw cirkels, it is suddenly not there anymere. I can hold shift when drawing, but it was easyer when it did it by itself. Could i have touched a shortcut by accident, and in case which is it? 

illustrator won't open it's showing an open app but with nothing in it it's like a loading screen of an app

I have created multiple layers using Polar Grids, circles to hide elements of the polar grids, and numbers. Now I am trying to merge them all together to end up with the white spaces as objects so I can change the colours or delete.  Prefrably keep the numbers seperate so they sit in front of the (white) boxes.> So in the end I want to be able to change the colours behind numbers individually.> also be able to change the colour of the grey in different sections.I'm not a big Illustrator user, mostly Photoshop. Couldn't find anything in the help.Image trace not clear enough in conversion.My Image is attached for reference.

I have a file that is a year old created in Adobbe Illustrator with a continous thread box over several art boards. When I open it now all the text is broke into many small threads. Is there an easy fix to reunite back to one thread? (I know this may not be the best program for this setup but its all I have.)

We're using Century Gothing Paneuropean.  The font has Semi Bold and Regular weights.  However, even though the file names are unique to each, CenturyGothicPaneuropeanRegular.ttf and CenturyGothicPaneuropeanSemiBold.ttf, and the file preview in Finder displays the difference in weights, all font and design software read the two files both as "regular" and treat it as duplicates.  The SemiBold is listed as "Regular" in font software and loads into Illustrator as Regular and the real regular disappears.  How do I fix this?
