Hi, I see several posts about double click to isolate not working, but my problem is a little more specific - it works with my USB mouse (mice, actually), but not with a Bluetooth one. The layers panel across the top of the page only shows up after double-clicking with a USB mouse. I otherwise prefer the Bluetooth mouse, the others are a bit old and creaky, but as is it's useless for Illustrator.. Illustrator 2025 (29.1), MacOS 12.7.6 (newest possible for this machine). Of suggestions seen so far, I don't have Magnet installed (whatever that may be), and the double-click speed is already set to maximum. Thanks,Barbara

Just like in the subject line. The main selection tool keeps selecting random objects in the proximity (5cm on the screen)  that are far and I'm not hovering over instead of objects I'm actually trying to select. It's like I've got some sort of selection support or easing turned on and It's guessing which elements I am trying to interact with.I'm on Illustrator 2025, already restarted both it and the computer, After a quick google I can't find any mentions of this issue anywhere.

i saw the ligature option is grey out, why?please let me know how to turn it off.OMG i want to turn it off forever in all the Adobe programs!

Hey Aobe Community! I have one for you. I've been running into this issue periodically. I'll change the color of a shape (usually and in this instance with the eye dropper tool) and the object will remain the previous color. The thing is, The appearance panel indicates it's filled with the desired color (#000000) Is this a glitch, a memory issue, or a property/setting? Any help would be appreciated.  

Hallo da draußen, für Sticker auf transparenter Folie braucht die Druckerei eine Datei in der ich einen "Weißunterdruck" erstelle.Leider finde ich bei der Suche nach Tutorials immer nur wie man Vektorafen erstellt. What the f...Kann mir jemand von euch erklären, welche Schritte ich im Illustrator machen muss (und zwar wirklich Schritt für Schritt, angefangen mit dem Öffnen des Programs 😉 weil ich ein absolter Anfänger bin), um eine solche weiße Unterlage zu erstellen? Vielen Dank im Voraus und euch allen eine wunderbar kuschelige WeihnachtszeitMarty

I recently shifted from a PC to a Mac Mini Pro M4, Sequoia 15.2. My Adobe Creative Suite Illustrator is 29.1. I was hoping that switching to a Mac would provide better responsiveness than my older PC. But many of the shortcuts that worked on my PC do not work on this Mac. I also cannot mannually enter values for things like angles, dimensions, etc. None of the answers from the 2023 posts that reported this same problem worked at all. Do I just need to find alternative programs to run on this Mac? So far, very disappointing switch.

Hello. I typically recieve PDF files from clients for offset printing.  Usually, I used to embed the file into Illustrator and then flatten it so that only the missing fonts would become outlined and could keep the way its supposed to look. But lately, now it only imports with the pink highlight that shows fonts missing withut any way to keep the look of the original font. Is there a way to outline missing fonts so I can continue to edit copy for the active fonts? Ive seen in other discussions some people say that printers should not be outlining fonts at all, but was not sure why. If anyone knows a way around missing fonts that are not adobe, it would be much appreciated. 

Hello, Sir, Please we object > script> triangle. I didn't see Illustrator v29.1 2024 in the window confirm help me.

Hi,I have only one artboard on which some data is modified with a set of variables.I would like to create an action that allows you to export it to png using different names for each row of the set.Of course I use the actions panel, but exporting to a specific folder the system uses the same name as the output file, effectively replacing the file just created. So instead of having 30 different pngs, I only have 1 (the last one of the set).Can anyone help me?

Hi, I'm using Adobe Illustrator to design digital stickers to sell on sites like Etsy. I want to have the stickers appear on a fixed template, but have each sticker removable. THe stickers should be as pngs. I can't figure out how to export my design so it doesn't flatten out (i.e. the individual stickers are not movable or copyable) or how to export it so that the complete sheet remains visually intact with the template behind the stickers. I have access to other programs if that will make a difference.  As an example, on the image below, the umbrella should be able to be moved off the template below. Thanks for letting me know how to do this.  

For this test I created a rectangle using the shapes tool. Even at full screen resolution you can see that 3 of the 4 sides, excluding the bottom right side, have anomalies. The other images show an enlargement of the individual sides.This problem interferes with precision positioning when multiple objects intersect.How can I fix this?       

When I select the top layer and release to layers - I can't drag the layers outside of the group. I'm trying to import to After Effects, but it imports as one illustrator file.  I can't attached the Illustrator file - I get error: The attachment's shapeuse.ai content type (application/postscript) does not match its file extension and has been removed. I've included a screen grab. I can't drag the layers

Greetings,I'm opening a DXF fill at full scale (1:1) that is an irregular shape. I need to be able to treat the irregular shape as a normal shape like you would when you use the "Rectangle" or "Ellipse" tools and be able to do a simple Offset Path, to be able to scale the shape by a specific offset value. The only way I can get this to work is doing the following 7 step process once the dxf is opened. Is there a quicker way to offset a compound path in one direction only? Thanks for any info on this. This is the shape Attempt #3 steps that DID WORK (screenshots are at bottom of post)Select layer with shapeSet the desired stroke value Go to Object menu -> Compound Path -> MakeGo to Pathfinder window -> Outline (this step causes the stroke to reset to zero)Re-set the desired stroke valueGo to Effect menu -> Path -> Offset PathThen I can specify either a positive or negative value to get the path to offset inward or outward Attempt #1 that DID NOT w

Hi, I’d like to know how to manually add Kashida in Arabic text in the latest version of Illustrator. In older versions, it was done using Shift+J, but that doesn’t seem to work anymore. 

HiI'm just learning to use Illustrator, and when I open a new file there is always a white square in the background. The delete button won't work to remove it. Can someone advise how to get rid of this? I imagine this is very basic, but I'm only a couple of hours into learning.

Hace un par de meses, en un documento de indesign desaparecieron todos los elementos blancos de mi composición. Creí que había sido un error mío, pero hoy me vuelve a suceder en illustrator: desaparecieron todos los vectores blancos de mi composición y no aparecen en capas tampoco. Simplemente desaparecen y ya quedó guardado así el archivo.
