Many of my illustrator files have links that are in different directories/folders.I wish to tidy up my illustrator files and package them so that the linked images are in the same folder. I do not wish to do this one at a time as I have hundreds of illustrator (AI) files. Can anyone suggest a method or software that will allow me to PACKAGE multiple AI files please? This could save me days of work. I appreciate that the ideal scenario was to have linked files within the same folder which I have started doing. 🙂 MANY THANKS

I've ran into an issue recently. Never happened before and I've exported a million PNG with white vectors in my lifetime. This time, the white vector, in this case logos, are not exporting and the final PNG only shows the background, in this case, solid black. No changes in settings and nothing done in particular to the file. It's just an artboard with two layers: black solid background and white vector logos on top. Exporting routine selected file>export>export as>png. Here's the video

I had to do a new install of my operating system after some issues with Windows. On a brand new system installation, Illustrator recognizes my GPU, creates documents with my GPU rendering enabled, but as soon as I interact with the canvas with any tool (Pen, Text, Square, Placing other files...), it gets grayed out and switches to CPU rendering mode. I already tried:* removing preference files and folders* reinstalling NVidia drivers* reinstalling Adobe (with and without the Cleaner toolkit)* enabling "High performance mode" for all the executables on Windows Settings* setting up individual profiles on the Nvidia Control Panel for application-exclusive configurations* even swapping application languages. And even tho I'm having this issue more severely on Illustrator, I'm pretty sure the same is happening on InDesign and Photoshop, since they have been very very slow since this all happened on files that weren't an issue before. Looking for answers on the forums, many pe

I created a user-defined swatch library of six seamless pattern tiles. I did 'save swatch library as AI', but for some reason the default color swatches have been added also. I only want the ones I created. How to get rid of the added defaults? Thanks! 

In previous versions of Illustrator I could take the Artboard Tool and click on an object or image and it would automatically create an artboard that exact size. Now I have to shift+click to make that happen, execpt that EVERYONE ELSE on my team can still do it the old way, no shift clicking needed.While this isn't the end of the world, years of muscle memory will take time to overcome, but more importantly I want to figure why this is happening. There doesn't seem to be any obvious option or setting I can change to make it work like it used to. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Hi, I have a pdf of a menu that needs to be sent to a restaurant. They need to edit it. I used a semibold and when they edit it the text it turns to bold. Obviously not great situation.  I'm not great at illustrator or acrobat for menus. SO ...here are some pictures ot the document properties in acrobat.  They state that the fonts are embedded subsets. I can use the Typeface as regular, bold, and italic , but when I got to the drop down menu to change it to semi bold I have a problem, it is not there, it only says the type face name - baskerville. It does not even say Baskerville bold or Baskerville italic. I'm redoing their previous menu. So I may have copy and pasted from a word document and that screwed everything up? Obvisously need to know asap. thanks,in advance. 

So i just changed PCs and noticed that in my Adobe Illustrator the GPU Performance says "Compatible GPU not available." What gives? isn't 4060 supposed to be newer? Why is it incompatible?

Within a company, if I create a shared cloud library with my team (with permissions for them to edit) and I am the owner. Say I left the company and my email was deleted, would this delete the entire shared library? 

W nowej wersji Illustratora narzędzie do rysowania (ważne narzędzie w mojej pracy (tablet WACOM) jest całkowicie zepsute. Nie reaguje na zmianę ustawienia exact-smooth i nie zamyka ścieżki. Na ustawieniach „exact” rysuje bardzo uproszczone kształty - co dyskwalifikuje to narzędzie. W poprzedniej wersji te funkcje działały dobrze.

Hello!We are working on a response to an RFP where the Aptos font is required for submission (you will be disqualified if you do not adhere to the font requirements). We use Windows computers.The issue is some people have Aptos installed on their computers but when they open up graphic files in Illustrator, it does not recognize the Aptos font and defaults to something else (I think Arial).  I'm sure it's some setting we are overlooking, but we cannot figure out what it is. Can someone assist?

Why were the "cancel" and "don't save" buttons swapped for Adobe '25 products? Why was this switch made? Makes no sence. I am having to unlearn 25+ years of muscle behavior. Why Why Why!   

Here's the situation: My job has me working on several different existing Illustrator documents. In most, there are two layers—call one Symbols and the other Text of the symbol's title (think Google Maps locations like a restaurant icon and the restaurant name). To keep spacing standardized, we would select a pair of Symbol object and Text object, which are on two separate layers, then Option Drag/Alt Drag to make a copy. On typical Illustrator documents, the copied items maintain their respective layers, and that's how I need them to be. But on certain documents I've worked with, the copied items end up on the same layer and I can't figure out why. I already know about Paste Remembers Layers, and that's not the issue, since this is a drag-duplicate, not a paste. Is there a way to revert it so that drag-duplicating items from separate layers to remain in their respective layers?

I’m having trouble opening ai — it keeps displaying an error. Can anyone help me figure out how to fix it?

I am trying to save my artboard as a tiled pdf. In past versions of Illustrator this was pretty straight forward and I was able to edit individual pages after tiling but I am having trouble now that Illustrator can only create a .ps file vs pdf, my searches show something about using adobe distiller but I am still at a loss. I have searched on here and for youtube videos but most of the instructions I have seen are for the Ai CS5 or below. I would appreciate any guidance.  

Hello! I'm experiencing issues with opening the Illustrator app on my computer. Every time I try to launch it, the app just stalls and won’t fully load. I have a new MacBook, and this hasn't happened before—other Adobe applications open without any problems. I’ve tried reinstalling Illustrator, updating—basically everything I can think of—but nothing seems to work. What should I do? Please help! 

I've recently upgraded to Illustrator 2025 29.01, when I create a new CMYK document the default swatch panel shows RGB colours, not the CMYK swatches like it should do. There is a warning symbol next to 'Colour mode: CMYK' which I've never experienced before. My colour settings are setup with RGB: SRGB IEC61966-2.1 / CMYK: Coated FOGRA39 (ISO 12647-2:2004) so it shouldn't have any issues.
