Hi everyone, I'm trying to create a Extention in Adobe Illustrator and I want to use  toggle the 'Hide Edges' option available under the **View** menu (Ctrl+H). I have tried the following commands:app.executeMenuCommand("previewEdges"); app.executeMenuCommand("showEdges");Both commands work individually, but I need a way to toggle between showing and hiding edges, just like the manual Ctrl+H shortcut.Is there a method or a specific script to achieve this toggle behavior? Or is there another command I'm missing?Any insights or examples would be greatly appreciated!Attached is a screenshot of the menu option I'm referring to.Thank you 

Would any one please tell me how to delete the back ground on this picture out outside of the path- so basically I can copy the pony only and paste into a new page please. I would know how to do it in photoshop but everything is different here. Ultimately I want to cut out the pony and engrave the picture with my laser cutter- as it stands I waste alot of material because the whole background is also engraving around the cut path. I would like to place him in a scene with other horses on AI as well which I am unable to do with the back ground still there. Thank you wonderful people for helping me with the program as I am learning but v v slowly!!

I'm creating a simple large print project (240" x 100") and i'm only using a vector abstract background with text and a logo.  When I save as a .pdf for print the text and logo are perfect but the background is pixelated.  I've searched the internet for hours and cannot figure this out.  I'm using the latest version of Illustrator 29. something.  

I haven't used Illustrator before and downloaded some free icons from Adobe Stock. They are in .ai format as in the screenshot below. What exactly do you do with these? I'm wanting to create a library of assets for web design so what I'd like is to have each icon as a separate file. How is this done in Illustrator? I had assumed when I downloaded the zip file that it would contain individual files but obviously that is not the case.   

I'm trying to find if there is a way to get position data from an object while it's being dragged / repositioned by the user, but I'm not finding a way to get values updated until after the drop has completed.     For context, I've tried events with AIHostAdapter as well as native events in the C++ SDK directly, but neither seem to have any events for dragging position updates, their events only seem to be before and after dragging objects, so I'm resorting to polling.   Currently I can poll an object's left/top position during dragging, however the results are the original position until the drag is completed, it's only updated after drop.   Have tried polling:     app.activeDocument.selection[0].left; app.activeDocument.selection[0].top;     As well as:  app.activeDocument.selection[0].geometricBounds[0]; app.activeDocument.selection[0].geometricBounds[1];   But neither seem to update until after the drag is complete.

Hi I have an ongoing challenge in AI.The example is that i have two picture frames beside each other containing a picture and a color layer. They are identical (copy pasted). I can move both the pictures and the color layers within the frame just fine. I then relink the picture in one of the picture frames (since you dont need to identicle frames) and when the new picture is linked / visible it is "locked" so that i can move it, like in the picture frame beside it. It does not matter if the picture is jpg, png or other.Can anyone please help me out here, this is super frustrating.

Good morning folks.  For those who celebrate, Happy Thanksgiving!  My existing PC is aging.  It works ok for my needs, but it rather slow when I have to render my 3D drawings in Illustrator.  I want to up my game and upgrade Illustrator to something a ittle more current. I've used a 10 year old versionof Illustrator to draft up stickers for vintage Alfa Romeos.  The version of Illustrator I've been using has suited my needs.  I'm now branching into something new, drawing vintage Coleman Lanterns to put on the side of coffee mugs.  My PC can't really keep up wth the demands of the software,I'm not a graphic artist.  I only do this for the challenge of figuring out how to use the software and provide a decent representation of the lanterns.  Learning and doing helps to keep my mind sharp, er less dull.Good morning folks.  For those who celebrate, Happy Thanksgiving!  My existing PC is aging.  It works ok for my needs,

Hi, I am trying to produce an 8.5 x 11 coloring book with .125 bleed, however, when I save it as a high-quality print file it compresses the resolution to 61 x 79. I have tried EVERYTHING and it always just produces a tiny file.  When I save it as a PDF ,and I uncheck all the boxes, I lose my bleed and i have to make each page bigger manually.  Why cant it just save properly the first time?  My Artboards are 8.5  x  11 inches, but this is the resolution it shoots out. Super tiny file. 

my custom strokes are forced to align to Center, and cannot be aligned to In/Outside (both are greyed out as seen in image below)Is there a way to change that?Thanks

Hi there,I know there have been several discussions about this, but from what I can tell, there has never been a definitive solution to the age old Illustrator problem of why when you copy from one art board and paste into another, it hardly ever works. As a freelance designer I've worked at numerous design agencies and all the designers report the same problem. Why is it so random? I've tried many things over the years (and yes it has been going on for years) and it doesn't matter what you do, most of the time Illustrator refuses to paste into the art board you actually want to paste in to. Sometimes it the same artboard you've just copied from, sometimes it's a random art board you don't want to paste into, and sometimes it's just off all the art boards entirely. Adobe could you please test 'Command F' with multiple art board documents and see if you to experience the same problem. I will quite happily supply you with some of my own files for you to test  (I'm running the latest

When drawing with the brush tool my brushes don't align with the actual path I'm drawing. They're offset to the side. This is only happening with brushes I've added. The included brushes are aligning to the path I've drawn. It just started happening. Yesterday everything was working fine. This is very frustrating for creating accurate line details in illustrations. TIA

Illustrator 26.5.2, Windows 10. For the past week, I've gotten this blurb when I fire up Illustrator. Clicking the "Don't Show Again" box seems to have no effect. What I would like to have happen is: I would like to start Illustrator and not see this offer. To me, that's what the "Don't Show Again" box would seem to indicate. What would Adobe suggest I do in order to not see this box again?  

I have just bought a brand new MICROSOFT 14"  IdeaPad, OLED Display, Copilot+ PC - Snapdragon X Plus I am trying to download illustrator, however, it will not install.  On my creative cloud, it only shows the online beta version (which is not what I want). When I use the browser to download the app, it downloads the set up file.  After double clicking on the set up file (+ trying run as administrator), it just opens my creative cloud again but doesn't install.
