Hey. What are the chances of Adobe offering a discount on the suite subscription until they manage to fix this browser hiding behind other programmes issue. I mean, its been years now so theyre either not capable of fixing it or arent interested in doing so. If the subscription was £10 cheaper I'd feel less annoyed with the bug. Can an Adobe person respond please? Its a widespread issue. Thanks Dylan  

Hello,  I have always used a dxf file to engrave jewelry. Now suddenly it doesn't load anymore in my program, i didn't change any settings in my illustrator.If i try to load an older dxf file, there is no problem..Anyone who can help please?

I don't know if I'm posting this in the right place - because this my issue pertains to both Illustrator and After Effects, possibly other CC apps, but I haven't checked. At some point in the past month, the way Illustrator and After Effects renders the font "Lato" changed. In the image below, you can see what I mean, the spacing between characters is out of wack: (The green text is how the text is resolving now, and the red text is how it used to look) I tried adjusting the tracking, and for some lines I can get it close, but not exactly: I've tried Optical and Metric kerning, and while I get different results for both, neither are correct. My client supplied the AI file, and they want an exact representation of their design. Part of my workflow is to copy the Illustrator text and paste it in After Effects, so that I'm able to animate the text. As a work-around, the client has provided me with a new AI file in which they've converted all the text to outli

Hello,I am a graphic design major in my first year of college. I use illustrator and photoshop on a daily bases for projects.As of recently my files on illustrator from school will not open at home, stating the error "The file "" is an unknown format and cannot be opened".For photoshop files I am given the error "Could not complete your request because photoshop does not recognize this type of file".Any file saved at school I cannot open at home, even if I previously was able to. At school we have the new apple IMac computers and at home I have a regular PC (I'm not sure of any specs or how to locate them). I was wondering if anyone had any soluctions because this is getting in the way of my schooling and potential career.Thank you for your time

Hi, there are some interface issue that are pretty wrong in Illustrator.1. I'm working on 4k screen 32 inch at native resolution and scaling UI is terrible. Scaling to second setting makes everthing too big compared to first setting. It's like twice that big. I wander what the other scaling steps are for? Scaling should be made in smaller steps. Every 5% at max.  The fist setting is too small, fonts are tiny, the second is way too big. Could you please make smalles steps or give us option to scale interface smooothly by 1%? Photoshop, AE or Premiere has correct base scale. Please at last make the IU same size as in those apps.2. Text, paragraph, transform, apperance etc properties on right panels are shortened to few options. Everytime I want to acces other options I have to press 3 dots to show remainng options. What is this? Why are you making editng hard? Please make all options visible at once.

Hi, recently I've been observing a strange behaviour in Illustrator.When I "Unlock all objects" (CMD+alt+2) some (though not all) layers are unlocked. Expected behaviour: Only objects that I have previously locked (CMD+2) will be unlocked, layers that I have locked in the layers panel should remain so. Is this intended behaviour or is it a bug? It did not use to be this way (and should not imo). Am I missing something? Is anyone experiencing the same? Illustrator 29.1 on a MacBook 

I upgraded to a higher-end laptop, but the following screen appears during use, and the software won’t run. I’ve already had an engineer check it, and they confirmed that the motherboard, memory, and graphics card are all fine. What else could be causing this?Laptop: ThinkPad / AMD PRO7 

Hi,I have a svg barcode and also a pdf logo. Two different files from two different sources. Both hat back only components, which are CMYK.When I open Illustrator and select all, then go to the colors and change to K100, all seems to work. Then I save (tested localy, on a served, same name and different name), close the file, reopen it, and the back is again CMYK.I can add other compontent and those save, so it is just the color I might be using wrong somehow? I have also tested with Versions 28.0, 28.7.3 and 29.1, so it must be something I am doing wrong. Is there some kind of "save black as cmyk in illustrator"? Any ideas, what I could try?Thanks!

Hier ist dein Text neu geschrieben: Hi zusammen, ich habe mir vor Kurzem ein iPad Air 6. Generation mit 128 GB und M2-Prozessor zugelegt. Laut meinen Recherchen sollte das Gerät mehr als genug Power für Adobe Illustrator haben. Leider habe ich ein großes Problem: Die App stürzt ständig ab, sobald ich in einer Datei Motive verschiebe, verkleinere oder die Stiftart ändere. Ich habe insgesamt sechs Motive in separaten Dateien erstellt und wollte sie jetzt in einer Datei zusammenfügen, um weiter daran zu arbeiten. Aber jedes Mal, wenn ich es versuche, friert Illustrator ein oder schliesst sich komplett. Hat jemand ähnliche Erfahrungen gemacht oder weiss, wie man das Problem lösen kann? Ich wäre super dankbar für jeden Tipp! Viele Grüsse und schon mal danke!

Window menus is not showing all the options. What could be done to fix this?

Not sure if this is the right place to put new thoughts on the update but I'll include one critique I have.   I am not enjoying the new Image Trace. I have an image of B&W half tone dots and have spent hours fiddling with the new Image Trace settings trying to get the circles to be expanded into vectors.   However, whenever I Image Trace, the circles lose their perfect shape and morph into oblongs. I was confused as to why this was happening, as previously I had done it with zero difficulty. After hours of playing with the paths, corners, noise, and all the other Image Trace settings, I had finally re-downloaded v28.   Lo and behold, easy Image Trace, with my circles remaining circles, not oblongs.   If I am missing something, please advise, otherwise I much prefer v28's Image Trace function.

Hello,  I'm having a problem installing, for example, Illustrator. I get an error message about an outdated system, even though it's up to date, and I can't open data with installer to just Creative Cloud. What I can do?

I have an SSD. not an old HDD. %100 same computer as before. I had to reinstall windows and as soon as I installed my usual adobe products, the illustrator is super laggy. There is nothing else being open. There are barely any other softwars installed. There might be like 5 apps on this pc altogether. All drivers including gpu drivers are up-to-date. GPU is enabled in settings. I did not import over any old files or settings. It should work flawlessly, but it doesn't. Keep in mind, it's a fresh windows install.. There aren't anything to rename or delete to see if it runs better.

I've created a graphic comprising of three concentric circles, each with it's own colour gradient tint.When I zoom in closely there are, what look like, fragments of solid colour at the edges of the gradient - image inserted for reference. Why is this and can I get rid of it? Help much appreciated - thanks in advance.

HI allI have a 3rd party script that i want to have a keyboard shortcut but it doesnt allow me to locate it in the keyboard shortcuts menu, any suggestions, i use this shortcut alot, but its too many steps to locate it, over and over 

 I am trying to ask a question in this forum, and provide the sample files, both generated in Illustrator, but when I want to attach them, again and again I get this sign in the red frame... I really do not know what it refers to, because in the InDesign forum, I was able to attach sample files generated in InDesign, but it does not allow me to attach the illustrator files here. I attach the screenshot where can be seen that the files are from illustrator, and that it is their extension. What is the error here? Thank you. 

Can either add or explain how to change the Screen zoom function to include 1000%. It currently jumps from 800% to 1200%. As I frequently work in 1/10th scale I frequently need to check image quality at 1000% which would be actual print size.  I work on large mural images. LMKthank you 

so I am fairly now to illustrator and I ran into a problem. I can not use any of my tools except the selection tools. I can move things around but I cant type or use the eyedropper or anything.Any help would be greatly appreciated!Morgan Fude

I am creating applied vinyl graphics for large irregular vases and want to be able to fill the repeating segments with complicated graphics that will be continuous from one segment to another. If I use Envelope Distort to try to fill the irregular shape with the graphic, it skews the whole thing. Really, I just want to distort the graphic horizontally. I've tried using the 3D settings to map the graphic onto a plane, but it just leaves it as a rectangle. Photoshop has no options for filling shapes that I can find either. Does anyone have any ideas on how to do this?  On the attached image, the first object is the graphic, the second is the shape (12 of these make the whole vase), and the third shows how messed up the Envelope Distort is. Using a Mesh is OK, but lacks the perfection I need for this to look seamless across the whole vase. 

Hi everyone!  Very basic question, but can't seem to find what I'm looking for on google.I have example attached. Making letter C, how do you finish this? Thanks in advance

The original document (ai.) had a transparent background when I imported it into InDesign. I wanted to change the color from green to white and when I did so, then  "saved as" the background appears white. help!!   

How do I populate this tool in the upper left corner of the screen?  It just has the no fill and registration icons.  Thanks. 

I have a Dell XPS 15 9530 i7with Nvidia RTX 4060 and 64 GB Ram.I have one SSD with 500 Gb. I have 150 GB free spaceIm running windows 11 home Everything including drivers are 100% upgraded.Im running illustrator 2025Photoshop , After Effects, Premiere Pro, Light burn etc.. Everything is upgraded regularly. I plan on upgrading SSD to Samsung 990 Pro 4 tb.My system requirements are well above the minimum required and yet I experience crashes daily sometimes hourly.  I know this is somewhat off the main subject of illustrator but when using after effects I let the application decide gpu settings instead of doing custom settings and I have less crashes. Nvidia is now stating illustrator and after effects doesn't support optimization. I'm so frustrated. I'm a semi advanced designer and can't design because I spend more time trying to cirmumnavigate crash after crash.Please Help!!! 

Hola comunidad, este problema me persigue desde hace meses y lo sufro a diario. Haciendo que sea tedioso abrir cualquier documento que contiene ficheros enlazados dentro.Como sabrán, podemos almacenar muchos ficheros enlazados dentro de un mismo archivo, y el problema es el siguiente:Cuando el ordenador (windows 10 pro) trata de abrir el fichero en cuestión, abre una ventana emergente solicitando la ruta del fichero enlazado. Este procedimiento se repite en cada uno de los ficheros que contenga el archivo, aunque marques la casilla de "buscar dentro de la misma ruta".Hay veces que hemos llegado a estar casi una hora para abrir un fichero.Ya no es que tarde en abrir, o en buscar los ficheros, es que no automatiza la búsqueda por su cuenta como pasaba en versiones antertiores. Esto nos obliga a estar delante del ordenador asignando la ruta en cada uno de los ficheros que solicite, que sin son 5, 10 o 1000, pues cada uno de ellos tocará poner el nombre del fichero en el buscador para que
