Hello,  Newbie here- Does flattening the PDF ensure the colors/elements won't mix/mess up in printing? Is this enough to ensure about printing exactly what is on the screen? Is flattened PDF good for printing wall art designs? Is printing at 300 dpi resolution enough? I'll test the printing on my own too, just wanted to gether any thoughts and experiences too. 

Why the selection of artboards doesn't showcase in the export dialog of Illustrator

Is there a way to cut a curved segment to a specific length? I mean a segment made with the arc tool. If this curved segment is for example 20cm long and I want to make a cut at 9,85cm on that length, how could I do it? Thank you all.

Hi all - Reposting what another memeber wrote because I'm having the same issue and looks like no one has been able to resolve it -  My hot keys that scale, rotate and move patterns only are not working. Usually if you hit the Tilde symbol with S, R (S~ and R~) and the tilde symbol alone, it scales, rotates and moves the pattern only. Since I've started usuing my new computer the tilde key does not seem to be working to isolate patterns.  My space bar is also not working as the quick hand tool.  Hope someone can please help - I cant figure out why!

I'm trying to create a text box with a script, so that the type area has a max width, and contents will auto line beak to fill the space. The plan is for a storyboard template generating tool, putting textboxes below each frame.This script will create a text object, but setting the width will squsih/stretch the text content to the set width, not create a textbox at that width I can then fill.I'm trying to get this to work like you simply clicked and draged out a type container, giving it a set width. var textFrame = app.activeDocument.textFrames.add(); textFrame.kind = TextType.AREATEXT; // Set the text contents textFrame.contents = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua."; // Set the maximum width textFrame.width = 200; textFrame.top = -100; textFrame.left = 100; 

When I don't apply blur or drop shadow in Illustrator, the application freezes and hangs a lot.

I usually use layer panel to move the layer front & back in the grphic window, rather than using keyboard shortcuts because it is more clear about the work I do. But if you Cut the red color "S" and Paste in the Front it will move the "S" out of the group. In this case Keyboard Shortcut & Layer Manipulation is not same. I wish to know whether it will affect the forth coming work. Video is attached 

Since updating Illustrator to the latest version, I can no longer open a new document.

I have created a swatch:- Color Mode: CMYK- Color Type: Process Color When I apply the (global) color to an element I see this in the color panel: What is the difference between the two rectangular buttons below the "100%"?left button:right button:Both lead to the same result:What are they converting? The color already is CMYK and it already is a process color…

Hi, I am running Illustrator 28.72 und 29 on windows 11. Whenever I open a cloud file I immediately get  message "Auto Save disabled, save manually." Every time! Whenever I am trying to save the changes of this document into the Cloud, I click on save and then nothing happens. when I try to save it in the cloud under a different name, as a copy, it won't save. This has been goign on for a week now. No matter what I do it will not save the changes in this cloud file or this document as a copy in the cloud, I can only save it locally.  I reinstalled Illustrator, restarted my computer, I worked from different wifis, both with stable internet connection, I have have a newer and an older version and this keeps happening in both. How do I fix it?

I've noticed a weird issue in the past week that is killing my productivity - I didn't think too much of it until today when I really needed to get a project going. When I copy any amount of text or any layer/group of layers that has a text layer in it - pasting it causes this 2 second delay before I can continue moving or editing the pasted layer. It only happens with text, not with images or shapes. It happens on new documents or large existing documents. Any size or amount of text will produce this delay. It only happens on Illustrator 29.0 and 28.7.2 - it works fine on 28.7.1 and prior as my snippets show (one snippet showing it working on 28.7 and one showing the issue on 29.0). I have the working and non-working illustrator open at the same time on seperate monitors with the exact same Illustrator settings. I have changed GPU performance, clipboard settings, scratch disks, and all the common troubleshooting fixes that could be causing the delay. The fact that it wo

Does anyone know when the feature "Generative expand" (or as the guy at the keynote calls it, "Vector expand") is coming to Illustrator? Seen at 01:01:00 in the keynote video here: https://www.adobe.com/uk/max-london.html I've just installed Illustrator 2025 and 2025 beta and can't find it.

I have 2 large illustrator files (lets say version 1 and version 2). If I have 40 layers on version 2 that I want to send/add to version 1, is this possible (without copy/pasting in place each individual layer?)thanks

I am trying to open a PSD file in Illustrator, which previously worked with two other files.However, when I attempt to do so with a different file Illustrator says that 'the file is not readable' 

pun not intended, whilst docs do mentionFontOpenTypePositionOption.OPENTYPESUPERSCRIPT,I could not get it working

I'm not sure what's going on. In all my years using Illustrator I've never come across this.Using the mouse wheel scroll to either zoom in or to move up/down the screen basically doesn't work anymore. For every 10 scrolls of the mouse, I might have Illustrator respond once.Zoom and scrolling up/down works perfectly fine in InDesign and Photoshop, just not Illustrator.TIA for any help.

Is it possible to have a persistent ScriptUI panel with buttons that hovers over the artboard and while in that state have the ability to click "zoom in/out" and the equivalent of "up/down/left/right arrows" to scroll about the document. The "Insert Page Numbers" script is a good example in that you could only click on the panel itself while active ... therefore a scriptable execution of "up/down/right/left" scroll sctions would do the trick.

Hi, I can no longer move selected objects simply with the arrows on the keyboard, have I missed some new functionality? Thanks

Hello everyone! Ι have a pdf file, i want to make some changes and I open it in illustrator.I don't get the message "This document has been modified outside of Adobe Illustrator", but in illustrator it's not exactly the same file, it has differences. The differences are not necessary that big so that i can trace them easily, i have to cross check. For example there are different numbers in some places or a box have been moved in another place.The file has been created from Adobe Illustrator CC 23.1 (Windows), i use Adobe Illustrator 28.5 (Macintosh).Do you know why this may happen and how i could avoid from making changes in a wrong files?

  var item = doc.pageItems[i]; var itemWidth = item.width; var newX = (docWidth - itemWidth) / 2; var newY = 0; item.position = [newX, newY];  When the items are simple shapes the above script works as expected i.e. the top border aligned at top artboard side. In case the items are cplipping mask with contents which is higher than the mask then the script fails i.e. the top artbord side aligned with top mask contents. What is possible to do to fix it? I expect that the clipping mask top border will be aligned at the artboard's top side. 

Hi guys,This might be a simple issue but I cannot find how to get all links as text file when I save the Document Info panel. I do get one when is selected but not all of them.  In an old file all links are missing but I have an idea where I can find them on my External Drive. I do need the complete names but i cannot copy paste from the link panel since it has not that feature which it would be nice. In the Document Info Panel it only export the selected one. Any help with this issue?Thanks! 😉
