When using the Pen Tool in Illustrator 2024, I use the COMMAND key as a short cut for the Direct Selection and OPTION for the CONVERT anchor point; when using the OPTION shortcut it will not allow me to select the end of a handle and move it. No matter what I do, I cannot select the handle with either the shortcut or selecting the CONVERT anchor point tool. I have to change the point to a corner point, then back to a smooth point to be able to select the one handle to change the direction or edit the corner. This changest he curves and that changes the curve and the shape. I cannot upgrade to 2025 until the office upgrades as controlled by the IT people.

Hello everyone.  Can someone help me locate this font please?  Is is available through Adobe?Looks like the font from Webster's Dictionary, or close to it.  I need to replicate the written text in pic, please.Appreciate the help with this.  Thanks in advance.

I just did the update 27.8.1 for my Illustrator 2 days ago and now, when I click a space on my horizontal scroll wheel to the right or left of the location marker, it goes all the way to that place in the entire Art space (which is fairly large, and I don't mean just my Art Board), instead of the approximate 2/3 window space proportional to my current zoom percentage that it had been doing.This is especially a problem when I am zoomed into my work and I click to the side like I usually do expecting to move just a little to the side, and I am now way off my art board and have to either hit Ctrl0 or zoom out to find where my art is again. For years, I was used to knowing exactly how much Illustrator would scroll to one side no matter where on the horizonal scroll wheel I clicked. Now I feel like it's way to sensitive and knows no bounds.  I know this is a small issue and I could just click the scroll marker and drag it to where I want to be on my artboard or click the arrows to

I am copying text from a Photoshop document into an illustrator document. The documents have identical dimensions. Illustrator is set to display at 300DPI, and the Photoshop document is also at 300PDI. All formatting and fonts is preserved in the pasted text, except font size. When I copy a 14pt text from a Photoshop document, it is resized in Illustrator to 58.33pt. How much larger it is in illustrator depends on how large it was in Photoshop. For example, a 20pt font copied from Photoshop will paste into Illustrator at 83.33ptIf I resize my text in Illustrator to 14pt, and then copy and paste it back into Photoshop, the font size is changed to 3.36pt.It seems that changing the Unit preferences in either program does not affect this, although I noticed that changing the text unit preferences in Photoshop from points to pixels will change the value from 14pt to 58.33. But it still pastes into Illustrator far larger than it should be.I do not know if this is something that needs to be f

Hello, I wanted to know, when we can expect the Quick Pen Tool to be included in the Desktop versions?It's a useful tool, but I don't want to use the tool in the web version only...it's a hassle for me to switch designs back and fort between the web and desktop versions?Some people had this tool in the desktop beta version of illustrator, but there is currently no illustrator beta version for the desktop - only the web version of illustrator.

I have been too used to using the shift key for free transformation and no shift key for proportional/locked-in transformation in Photoshop. Is there a way to change to that same setting in Illustrator for scaling? (I do not free transform as quite as often, so it's irritating to use the shift key for every little change.)

How do you create a seamless repeating pattern from multiple objects while maintaining the ability to edit individual elements later? Looking for a non-destructive workflow.

Font Glyphs are not visible in Illustrator. All images in the Links panel look the same.

I noticed a strange feature - a written action using negative offest value becomes positive after it is written and Illustrator restarted. Thus, the subsequent playback of this action does not work correctly.Is it a peculiarity or just a bug? It seems to be a bug in a particular version of Illustrator. 

how to make Illustrator v29 smooth tool function like old version because it smooths all the path and shapes too much automatically it is crucial tool for my workflowI used to be able to swipe the pencil along part of a path and it fixes exact path part with reasonable strength, the update made it realy realy bad in attached photo, one click with lowest strenghth and the shape is ruined by over smoothing itplease solution 

this is too strange, it should be after upgrading to AI 2025, the tools are getting better, this is why it's ugly, especially for the pencil tool, too smooth. The accuracy of the strokes can no longer be as perfect as we want, even though the accuracy has been set to accurate, the scratches are still smooth. Please fix this adobe.

This is hard to explain but here it goes: I've been working on an illustration for about 4 months. My primary tool has been the pencil tool with the fidelity slider set all the way over to accurate. This allows me to get a lot of detail line work in there. I took a break from the piece for the past 3 weeks.When I opened it up again today and started drawing, the detail and accuracy of my new lines is gone. The lines are smoothish and and way over simplified. I checked the fidelity slider and it's still all the way over to accurate and my other settings are the same as before. Any ideas or suggestions? 

In the new illustrator version, the pencil lost sensitivity.  Even in the max accurate setting it is still over-smoothing the shape.

A ferramenta lápis despois da atualização não funciona da mesma forma, faço as formas que quero mas acaba ficando muito suavizado, e quando diminuo fica muito tremido, não tem mais o meio termo de antes, e no lápis suavizar quando eu uso abre a aba simplificar, e as vezes ela faz a suavização de forma automática, o que está atrapalhando muito nos meus trabalhos

Hi everyone, I am making vector illustrations and perfecting them with the pencil tool as I always do.But in the new 2025 version the vector drawings are not changing as acurate as before.They are just jumping everywhere and are not nearly changing like I draw the line.I have put the fidility totaly to the accurate side but still it is not accurate at all.Did something change? Do I need to change anyting in the settings so the pencil tool will react like before?Or is this a bug in the new illustrator version? Thank you in advance,

Hello all, I have an image that I'd like to place behind a complex path...Right now it's like the attached image, but I'd like the photo to fill in the white space so that it's framed by the circles. If anyone has any advice, I'd be really grateful! Thanks!  

I am using two screens and moving Illustrator to the larger screen from my laptop so that I can see things better. I am still using CS2. One day for reasons I still do not understand, my PDF dialog box disappeared. Illustrator thinks it is there, but the only thing I can do is escape out of it. I can't save a file as a PDF, and I need to do that on a regular basis. I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling CS2, but it did not change anything.Does anyone know how to retrieve a dialog box that has gone off the screens?Thanks!

In the latest release, the smooth tool no longer works. They done broke it. Even on the most accurate setting it completely destroys the shape. Please change it back

Hello!I started my students on Adobe Illustrator. We have the Creative Cloud Enterprise. About 5 of my students do not have the Web browser option listed when trying to launch the program. We are using Windows laptops. We are using the web option until I am able to secure the admin password to be able to install the desktop version. Their accounts were all loaded through the Adobe Admin site at the same time so I am not sure why it isn't working for them!Any ideas why or solutions to fix?Thanks!

Autoupgraded to 2025, and it uninstalled 2024. I tried importing settings, my user actions aren't available in 2025 there. I restored 2024 from time machine, and they are in there, but they're just "in the program", tried searching via terminal and didn't find anything. I can just save them out, but out of principle, I need to know where they are.
