Hi, I need to get the rotate value for pathitem using extended script? 

With the current release of AI V29 the oldest version for other downloads shows V28 in the Adobe Cloud APP- Does the Ver 27.9 exist any longer for download?

Hola! Desde que actualicé a la versión 2025 de Illustrator, no me aparecen los archivos recientes en la pantalla de inicio. En la versión anterior (2024) me funcionaba perfecto, así que estoy seguro de que este problema lo ocacionó la actualización del programa. Puedo acceder a estos archivos a través de Archivo/Abrir archivos recientes; pero quiero recuperar el método de abrirlos a través de la pantalla de inicio, me es más cómodo. ¿Hay alguna solución?Desde ya, muchas gracias por leer 🙂

In previous versions of Illustrator, once I selected a different artboard and hit Paste in Place it would paste it into an identical X/Y location of that artboard. Now, it pastes it back to the artboard from which it was originally copied. I don't know why the team would choose to reduce the software like this. If I wanted to paste in place on the original artboard, I would have just selected the original artboard. What are my workaround options? I mass produce various versions of the same artwork for marketing purposes and this is a huge step back for my workflow.

Hello, I have been using Adobe Illustrator for some time and had no problems in writing in Polish language using Proxima Nova fonts (and others).Today suddenly, at some point it stopped being possible:when I try to type "ł" (so using alt+l) - the window with layer options is showing up.when I try to type "ą" - program is highlighting all text. Please note that it was not an issue before! Also, I still can use Polish characters in inDesign and other programs.I tried restarting, re-installing, changed font setting to Polish, but nothing worked. Could you please support me here? Any ideas how can I come back to previous settings?

Bonjour, Je suis formateur en école et, depuis quelques semaines, plusieurs étudiants rencontrent des bugs sur certains ordinateurs portables HP. Tous les logiciels peuvent être installés en version desktop, sauf Illustrator, qui ne propose que l'installation de l'application pour tablette et ne permet pas l'installation de la version pour ordinateur. Je n'arrive pas à identifier le problème ni à le corriger. Si vous avez une piste, je suis preneur. Bien à vous,   ps : ci-joint un screen de leur logiciel creative cloud  

Hi All.Adobe has informed me that "The OS on this computer is incompatible with the Illustrator desktop app. Update your OS to install Illustrator, or open this link on a compatible computer."I'm using a Mac mini 2023 with an Apple M2 chip, 8 GB Memory, and the latest OS software - OS Sequola Ver 15.0.1.Is anyone else having this issue? Any solutions?

After I have finished with a file and I close the file, I cannot Move or Delete that file since the latest update.I'm receiving a"This action can't be completed because the file is open in Illustrator"message.This also happens if I open a file and close immediately without making any changes....My only work around is closing the whole application, move or delete the file, then reopen the application.This is very frustrating and time consuming as I deal with a few hundred files/day.Before the latest update, I could close the file (leaving the main application open" and do what i like with the files, Move/Delete etc Has anyone else come across this ? or know how I can get this fixed ? Any help would be massively appreciated.....

Bonjour,Lors du saisie du texte ou de surligner, le curseur change automatiquement à sélectionner. Je n'arrive pas à surligner plusieurs textes sans à chaque fois revenir et sélectionner le pinceau.

Hi, I'm looking for a way to quickly locate and use my company's brand fonts. 5 are Adobe fonts, and 6 were purchased through my organization.  I thought favoriting them in Adobe Fonts would do the trick but even with them favorited online, they are not favorited in llustrator...(?) Plus that is of no help when it comes to the 6 installed fonts. Recent fonts is working ok, but if you don't use a font for a while it falls off, and you may forget about it until you have to dig for it again.  Can someone please let me know how to keep brand fonts at the top of the type list, or at the least filter them. 

Bonjour,Lorsque j'utilise le mode 3d et matières sur Illustrator, le message suivant s'affiche :"pour l'instant, l'effet 3d et matiere ne s'applique pas entierement sur certains types d'objets" Auriez-vous recontré le même problème ?  Merci 

Okay, I'm really struggling with this and nobody I ask seems to know how to do this. I have created a little piece of vector art in illustrator but i now need to warp the perspective as if it were moving inwards. HOWEVER, I cant seem to turn my art into one single, flat warpable image. Everytime I try to warp in, I have to do each individual shape I've traced, which is frustrating as there are few parts to it, some of which are a bit detailed. This way also just does not get the perspective right. Is there any way I can change this, as if it were an image from the internet?

Why is this 3d effect text making it so blury.It's already rendered. 

Hi there,I was wondering if anyone has a script they'd like to share which would rename all artboards in a document with their size?ThanksEric

I created a complex illustration for a client in Illustrator and sent it to them as a pdf. For their purposes, there was no need to save it as anything larger than "smallest file size" which eliminated the "preserve editing capabilities in illustrator." This didn't seem like a big deal at the time, since I had the Illustrator file. Then my Mac crashed before I had backed the file up, and I lost everything. My client now wants modifiactions to the illustration. I was able to retrieve the pdf attachment from my "sent" emails, but when I try to open it from Illustrator, *surprise surprise* I can't edit it. I can see that everything is still vector art, but I can't select any of it – all selection tools just display as the same weird pen. Is there ANY WAY to make the vectors in this file editable in Illustrator again? Any help is much appreciated!

Yes I am a newb to Photoshop and adobe. Because adobe tricked me into paying for a subscription to ADOBE STOCK, I now have these "Credits" to use on various stock images. So I am trying to make some designs with whats available. My problem I am having is that I am trying to figure out how to edit the text, basically change it from the text that is in the editable AI file. But I can't find anything online on how to do it. And the replies to some of the postings on here that are somewhat similar to my questions are very vague to where it makes no sense what so ever. So if you happen to know what I'm talking about, please help me out. Pretend I'm some one who never used this program before (I only used this for 3 months) I'm still getting familar with it but I don't know what is where. So saying "oh just Go to the Appearance panel and you will see" Will not be in any way helpful. Cause I would need to know where that panel is and what to click to get to it.Here is a link to the Resource I
