Using the hotkey for Eyedropper tool with the Text tool active and text selected replaces the text with “i”. Is there any trick to invoke the Eyedropper tool with a hotkey so that the selected text remains selected?   

My team converts a number of vector artwork into Bitmapped .tiffs with transparent backgrounds. Currently our process involved copy and pasting each individual file into photoshop to make the conversion. This seems like something that could easily be handled by the asset export window, and would save my team quite a bit of time. Any plans to add this file type or ideas for a quick work-around? 

Hi, Thanks you for any help provided.  I recently updated to masOS Sequoia 15.1 and since then when I try to downlaid images from adobe stock (vector images for illustrator) the files download with ai.download extension and are not able to be opened by illustrator.  I am using Adobe Illustrator 2025.  Is there something I am missing or something I need to do.  I have not had this problem before the update.

When trying to enter a new swatch color in Illustrator (blue hex #5aaec7) I keep getting a different blue hex color (hex #58adc7). When I try it in Photoshop it works fine. Thoughts?

Prezados, Há alguns dias não tenho conseguido trabalhar com o Illustrator por causa desse problema que aparece no video em anexo. Resumidamente, a janela "layer" não para de abrir e fechar e não consigo desabilitar a jenela. Aguardo uma solução.

Olá! Muitas vezes, ao tentar salvar um arquivo no Illustrator, a janela de  salvar se abre e aí fecha no mesmo instante, não dando tempo de fazer nada. Reinicio programa, mas acontece o mesmo. Alguém sabe o que pode ser? 

Is there any trick to select Group Selection Tool using the same hotkey as for Direct Selection Tool? 

I am trying to collect for output, but it is not gathering the photos used in the file to the folder. I made sure the images are not embedded, and I have all the checkboxes selected to gather the links. The fonts are being collected fine and it is making a package report doc. Happy to send screenshots of the steps I'm taking, if that better explains the isssues I am having. Thank for any help you can provide.

I have a basic design on a spread in InDesign (18.1), and I wanted to take it to Illustrator (27.5) to properly complete it. I created a document in Illustrator with the matching dimensions to the one in InDesign. I then tried to manually recreate the object (using the rectangle tool, I matched the height/width), I then matched the angle of the object (the height/width values automatically change), and also matched the X, Y coordinates. However, the object was not in the same place as it is in InDesign. I tried using ChatGPT to help me out, but all I got out of it is to set the ruler to global rulers, click Shift+O and set the artboard coordinates to 0, and then double click the small square in the top-left corner. However, if I double-click on the square, the coordinates of the artboard are no longer zero, and if I set them to zero, the ruler values of the artboard aren't at zero.I do not undersand what is happening and how to overcome it. I tried substracting the X, Y coordinate valu

The Spacebar and Z key for the Hand tool and zoom are not working. I am on Windows 10 and i checked out a bunch of threads on why this bug might be happening. Some say it's because of chrome or some other app stopping the keystroke, but none of these suggestions worked I am on latest Illustrator CC version. Thanks in Advance !

I've drawn a shape I want to reuse for tabs and titlebars: a rectangle with the upper corners rounded and the lower corners square.I duplicate this shape and want to reduce the width: so I select the shape, open the Transform dialogue, set the anchor point, make sure "Scale corners" is not selected, make sure "Constrain height and width" is not selected, and enter the required width at W.Result? the "[do not]Scale corners" setting is ignored, and corner radius is reduced.The only way I've found to resize without changing the corner radius is direct select, Transform, resize by hand, wait for Transform dialogue to display new width, rinse and repeat until I get the width I want.Is there really no easier way?Illustrator CC 19.2.19, in case I'm missing something.

 

Hi we have updated Illustrator on our MAC OS Monterey, and we discore a lot of bugs in this version   concerning the appeareance : what is shown in appearance window doesn't correspond to what is visible on the drawing   concerning the eyedropper : it doesn't work, we have to "ungroup" all objects to have it working well... even object that were not "grouped".   Very strange. Does someone experiment this also? Thanks to adobe to correct this soon!  

Can someone explain to me the function of the Suffix checkbox when you use Export As from Illustrator (on Windows 10)? It has no impact on file names whether or not you check it because I can't see any way to actually enter a suffix unless you select Export for Screens instead of Export As. Or am I missing somewhere else you can enter a suffix before then choosing Export As? Furthermore, can Adobe please:1) Add a feature where you can reset your artboard names automatically? I often end up with, for example, "Artboard 16 copy 8" etc etc at the end of my process, and I'd like to be able to reset them all to "Artboard 1" to "Artboard 18" (or however many artboards there are) without having to do so manually, just based on the order they're in. 2) Add another feature on Export As where you can choose whether or not Illustrator uses your artboard names at the end (which is what I would have assumed the Suffix checkbox did, but it doesn't). As far as I can tell, if you don't edit

Good day to everyone. Recently encountered a problem with my properties panel in Illustrator. It was all good for several months after i first installed it, but when I opened Illustrator one day it turned out to be like this. I've tried reopening the tab, resetting, deleting the preferences settings in Adobe folder, even completly deleting all my adobe apps from my PC, clearing all possible files remaining and downloading once again, yet still nothing has changed. The same problem was in the last version of illustrator 2024, updated to 2025 and still the same. Has anyone had the same problem and are there any solutions to returning the default look.Much appreciated  

I'm using adobe illustrator on my iPad for a school assignment and when I tried to save it and upload it to a google drive, it shows as a pdf. Is there any way to fix it?

Hi,I only have a Samsung Z-Fold 6, and hope to use Ai Web soon -please allow beta testing on mobile Chrome rather than requiring a desktop! If I had a desktop, I'd just download the Ai desktop app (o;   If it's buggy, that's fine -it's a beta.  Alternatively, please develop an Android Ai app, but I suspect that that is more difficult than simply turning off the browser-verification.  thanks for all you do for us creatives!SRVC

Whenever I work with text in Illustrator I always tend to face this problem: There are unwanted spaces in a selected text, which is hard to work with as it doesn't give me the accurate dimentions of the text. It gets even worse when when I use the tarcking characters option, it leaves a huge space on the right, higher the tracking number, bigger the space. It does not align properly in the center or to anything (as you can see, all the selected texts are aligned vertically and yet the tracked text leaves quite some room on the right, it's impractical).Some might suggest to outine the text, but that turns the letters into indivual shapes/objects, it works until I need to use the character settings which is no longer possible. Is there a way out of this? Feel free to leave any suggestions or advice. 

I have currently encountered a bug in the latest update of Adobe Illustrator (V29.0.1)Whenever I create a new document and selecting recent artboard size, it automatically goes back to the first/latest size. It happened not once but multiple times.On the screenshot, I specifically selected the red one, but after a few seconds, it selects/goes back to the blue one.

Hi, I try to generate svg string using extendscript everything is working properly except flip. My codevar doc = app.activeDocument; // Get the current selection in Illustrator var selectedItems = doc.selection;//[0]; // Check if a path item is selected and convert it to an SVG path string if (selectedItems.length > 0) { //var selectedItem = app.activeDocument.selection[0]; // Loop through each item in the selection for (var i = 0; i < selectedItems.length; i++) { var item = selectedItems[i];//alert(item.typename); if (item.typename === 'CompoundPathItem' || item.typename === "PathItem" || item.typename === "GroupItem") { var svgString = compoundOrGroupItemToSVG(item); alert(svgString); // Output the generated SVG string } else { alert("Please select a PathItem."); } } } else { alert("No item selected."); } function applyTransform(pathItem, point) { if (!point || point.length < 2) { alert("Invalid point: " + poi

I'm writing a script to convert any text from foot-inch to just inches. I am pulling my hair out trying to get a RegExp that will match all my corner cases as well as capture the correct info. I need to capture the Feet portion (if present), the inches portion (if present) and the fractional inches portion (if present). Also, these may be preceeded or followed by other text in the same line. I want to use the same RegExp pattern to do the replacement using String.replace().Are there any RegExp gurus out there that can help? Here are all the cases I need to deal with (spaces are indicated with a "•"):  13'-•2" 13'•-2" 13'•-•2" 13'•2" 13'2" 13'-2" 8'•6•3/4" 8'6•3/4" 8'-•6•3/4" 8'-6•3/4" 8'•-6•3/4" 8'•-•6•3/4" 7'•1/2" 7'1/2" 7'-•1/2" 7'-1/2" 7'•-1/2" 7'•-•1/2" 4' 3/8" 3•3/8" 14"  It would be nice if the group numbers could match across each case (i.e. feet are always group 1), but they don't need to be the same number so long as I can logic out which is which by the nu
