"How to automatically create a cut contour for an image without a background in Adobe Illustrator. This is for a typography printing job, which requires a contour based on the following instructions: On the 'CutContour' layer, create a vector path in Illustrator that corresponds to the cut shape of your form and assign it the stroke color that matches the 'CutContour' swatch you just created."

I hope this is a simple fix and I am missing something very obvious. I would like to see the original colour of the dark green shapes in the images below. When I hide the transparency grid, I see the original colour, which is great. However, when I show the transparency grid, and use a white background, the colour of the shapes disappears - this is obviously the way they show when I export them. Is there any way to retain the original colour when the object is blending with the other shapes (the light green)? I could of course separate the overlap into new shapes, but I like the flexibility of being able to move the entire shape around.Using Adobe Illustrator 2025

Hello Everyone,I'm currently developing an extension for Adobe Illustrator that requires performing specific actions within the Illustrator environment. I'm trying to retrieve the "Rotate View" angle of the active document programmatically using ExtendScript (I’ve attached a screenshot for reference). However, after considerable searching, I haven’t yet found a property that directly provides the rotation angle of the document view.Could anyone advise if there’s a dedicated property in Illustrator scripting for accessing the "Rotate View" angle? Alternatively, if there’s a workaround or other approach to achieve this, I would greatly appreciate any guidance or suggestions.Thank you very much in advance for your help and insights!

HI guys,Windows 10 desktops using Autocad Map3D 2019Opening .dwg files in illustrator is essential for our work. As per Adobe's instructions, we've been downgrading our files to pre-2007 for compatibility.  This worked until a few months ago when Adobe forced everyone to convert to later versions of Illustrator. Opening .dwg no longer works, and the program either instantly crashes (version 28.6) or comes up with unknown file format error (version 28.7.1).We had 1 remaining PC that we had saved 2020 Illustrator from being upgraded, unbenownst to us someone upgraded it and we have now lost our ability to open Autocad .dwg files, (2020 version had zero problems with this).No other changes to the PC, only Illustrator was upgraded. A drawing with a single line in 2004 format is unable to be opened in Illustrator versions post-2020. I've read in another forum it may be a format issue with older Autocad files, and Illustrator has only included the latest Autocad file format recogni

Hallo liebe Community, ich möchte digitale Laserdateien verkaufen und bin aktuell auf der Suche nach einer Methode, um meine illustrierten Objekte halbwechs realistisch mit einer Holztextur zu füllen. Meine aktuelle Methode ist so, dass ich die illustrierten Objekte in InDesign hochlade und jedes einzelne Objekt mit einem JPG von Holztextur fülle. Gerade wenn ich mit einem Objekt arbeite, wo mehrere gravierte Elemente zu finden sind, wird es ziemlich Mühsam dies zu füllen und meiner Meinung nach auch leider nicht realistisch. Habt Ihr einen Tipp wie ich die Formen einfach, schnell und realistisch füllen kann? Vielleicht mit Photoshop?Danke!

Bitte um eure Hilfe - ich habe letztes Jahr in Acrobat Pro ein PDF bearbeitet und Kreise eingezeichnet - nun möchte ich diese gerne verschieben - aber das funktioniert nicht - kann sie nicht auswählen - kann mir wer helfen?

An error occurs when copying and pasting the desired color.What is the solution? Since the desired color is blue, I copy this color value and I pasted the copied color value into the line. The color seemed different, so I increased the thickness of the line and checked, and it turned out to be a different color from the desired blue. I go into the document and change the color setting to CMYK, but it doesn't work. macbook pro (16inch, M2)maxOS : Sequoia 15.1Adobe : v29.0.1

Knowing Illustrator operates at 72ppi, I'm looking for clarification on how the resampling works when exporting higher resolution.If I have a 300ppi image inside a 72ppi document and export at 300dpi, is it resampling the image @ ~416%? Or is it 300dpi at the physical dimension of the artboard in inches?Mainly asking, as the pixel dimensions are 1000 pixels(AI and Bridge) @ 72dpi, vs exporting @ 300dpi it's 4167 pixels.The links panel looks like the dimensions match the 300dpi export, but just curious as the measurements are a bit confusing.Looks to me like the image is 300dpi based on the physical size of the document and not the pixel dimensions.

HiI created a design that involves blending modes, however when i save it as a PDF the blending modes don't show. Can anyone help?

I've seen posts about this before, but haven't found anything that's fixed it for me. I'm runing OSX 10.15.3, trying to paste copied graphs from Excel (version 16.34) into Illustrator 24.0.3. Whatever font I've used to make a graph in Excel, when I paste it into Illustrator, the text changes from letters to symbols (screenshot below).  I tried a solution I've seen elsewhere, exporting from Excel to a PDF. When I open the PDF in Acrobat, it looks fine, but when I open it in Illustrator, it looks just like in the screenshot below. If I export from Excel into a postscript file, Illustrator opens it and it looks normal. That isn't a great work-around, however, because the imported text isn't in text boxes, so it doesn't make it any easier to edit than the other way. Any thoughts? Why is Illustrator not reading the font the same way that Acrobat and Excel are?  Thanks in advance. 

So, the internet says this isn't a thing every time I've looked, but I've discovered recently(ish? last couple months to a year maybe) that if I place an image that has a path in the paths panel in Photoshop, it will display in Illustrator with the path clipping my image. The only way I've been able to fix is to remove the path from the image in photoshop and re-save it.Is there a setting somewhere in Illustrator now that lets you enable or disable the clipping path like InDesign does? Is this a bug now? This never used to be an issue, Illustrator just used to ignore the paths in linked files. I've done a decent amount of searching and haven't seen the answer.

I am using Illustrator version 29.0.1. When I try to create a new file, the centimeters unit doesn't appear among the measurement units in the setup panel. However, once I open the file, centimeters are available in all workspace measurement settings. It’s only missing in the initial setup panel. How can I fix this?

How can I rotate only one of the items in the Objects on Path option?

I really like the vector based generative AI feature but I find it limited in the sense that it stops being useful once it could get really really good. Meaning that until now I only find the option to generate one prompt and thenre-write it completely not being able to refine and refine more. Is there a feature or a possibility to follow-up on these prompts? like "this is great now please rotate the right armon that person to point upwards", "great, now make the thumb on that hand standing out" etc.  Kind of more of like a contextual type prompting similar to ChatGPt.

I'm unable to change the colour of existing shapes in an illustrator document, new shapes work as expected. Is this a known issue with the current version, or has anyone had this issue before? The colour picker shows the correct colour and the shape is the correct colour when it's exported to After Effects, so it seems like it's related to how the shape is being rendered.  

Greetings,Can anyone provide any help with correcting the bugs in JavaScript I got from ChatGPT?Thanks for any help on this 🙂 I asked chatGPT the following: write me a script for adobe illustrator that will:1. batch open dxf files at Original Size, press OK on the DXF/DWG Options UI 2.

Select all objects on Layer 1, add a check to the box for Overprint Stroke located on the Attributes panel 7. fit the artboard to the artwork, rename Layer 1 to CutContour on Artboard 1 8. add a 0.0785 inch bleed to the Document Setup 9. save a .AI file version in the same folder of the open dxf file and use the same exa
