Hello, everyone,I use the following method to loop the list of objects var glen = app.activeDocumen.layers[0].groupItems;for (var i = glen.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {} but I want to loop the objects from left to right on artboard, instead of base on layer, Is it achievable? thanks 

hello everyone!I'm a beginner in Adobe Illustrator. I can not upload the jpg file i export frome illustrator on Instagram or Behance. Does anyone know how to fix it?

I'm trying to export a file as PNG/JPG from Illustrator, but I'm having an issue. Even though I select the 'Use Artboards' option, the exported file includes the bleed area instead of being limited to the artboard size. I've already tried reinstalling the program, but the problem persists. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Beginner problem here. I was following a tutorial on how to make this cartoony text and was wondering how I could have 2 seperate colors for different parts of the texts. I've attached a screen shot.

I am having an issue when I open a multipage pdf, and choose to open all pages as links, the "crop to" preference isn't maintained. Here is an examples: I open a 8-page pdf in Ilustrator with the "All" pages selected, as well as the checkmark for "Import PDF pages as links". The artboards show each page with the bleed and crop marks of the original file, as thought the option as "Crop to:" was set to "Media". The problem comes when I save and open the file up again at a later time, the links to the pdf pages are now showing as though the "Crop to:" was set to "Trim" and they have all been resized to the size of the original "Media" size, throwing everything off. I realize a work around would be to use the "Place" function instead, but that becomes unproductive when I am working with pdf's with 30+ pages. Any help would be appreciated.

When utilizing Pantone swatches (from my created CC Library or directly from Pantone Connect) they appear as RGB color mode in the swatch palette of my document rather than LAB. My Illustrator document color profile is set to CMYK. I do not have this problem in Indesign. Indesign preserves the LAB color mode on these same swatches. Can I fix this and how?

I've had illustrator crash before, usually over a file that was too large/too many anchor points, but this one doesn't have many at all, it also used to always save files as [Recovered] and never lost much work because of this, but after updating my mac software and illustrator software recently, the program crashed once, and froze the next time, with absolutley no auto save or recoverey to be found, many hours of work lost. Firstly i have the scratch disk on an external SSD, and i also have my settings so that it should auto save on crashes, this happened twice in the space of a few days, any help much appreciated, screenshots attached

Every time I change the pen tool to basic .25 thickness and go to click on artboard, it switches back to calligraphy 1pt. And yes, I have the appearance thing clicked OFF. I have the newest version of Ai. This was also happening with the older versions, and when I initially upgraded to this version, this problem was fixed. It was great! But alas, the problem is back and is driving me absolutely CRAAAZY! Please help!!

Hi; since this past Friday, I have been unable to properly copy-paste text formatted within Illustrator and maintain the formatting (font, size, kerning, etc.). I have never encountered anything like this in nearly 30 years of using AI.  When I use the Type Tool cursor to select formatted live text, and then copy-paste into another line of text or text box with existing content, the pasted text takes on whatever formatting is present at the point of insertion, over-riding the previous formatting that I want to keep. When I copy-paste formatted text into a new text line or text box, the font and type size is converted to default Myriad Pro Regular 12 pt. Issues 1 and 2 also occur when cutting text and pasting, and also when using "Paste without Formatting." When I use the Selection Tool to select-copy-paste an entire text object, the formatting is retained. My other computer is a 2017 iMac running OS Big Sur (11.36) and Illustrator 2022 (26.1) – o

I just want Illustrator to stay maximized the whole time, but any time I try and open a file, it resizes and shows portions of my desktop. It's so annoying. Is there anything I can do to stop this from happening? I am on Windows 10 using two monitors, if that helps.

Illustrator 2024 is not detecting my Quadro RTX 4000 GPU.  Illustrator 2023 had no issues using my GPU.  Machine is Win 10 64 bit.   Photoshop 2024 has no problem recognizing and using this same GPU.  Solutions already tried:-  Update all Nvidia drivers to most-current-  Modified Nvidia control panel 3D Settings to force OpenGL rendering to GPU for all applications.- Set graphics performance performance in Windows Settings -> System -> Display -> Graphics Settings for both Illustrator and AISniffer Interface Binder to "High Performance" Machine was rebooted after every solution attempt.  I'm looking for anything else to try here.

As can be seen in the video link, I'm trying to reduce the size of the pattern while transforming it and certain paths start disappear, yet when I do it outside of the pattern it works perfectly. https://streamable.com/wgzlks Any thought on why could it occur?

Hello! Please help with this extremely frustrating problem:  The lines and text and everything else in my Illustrator project are made thinner when I save it as a PDF. It appears fine in the program but is then thinner when viewing the PDF outside of the program. This mainly affects portions of the project which I had exported as a PDF from another program and then placed into the project. For instance, if I export a PDF from Word and then place it into a new project in Illustrator, when I save the Illustrator file as a PDF, the lines are noticeably thinner than they in the original Word PDF.  I am really hoping this can be fixed by simply changing some setting. Please let me know! Thanks! 

The problem:If a team member opens an illustrator file from our Google Drive the linked files all need relinking due to absolute paths (user/NAME/Google Drive/...). Unlink InDesign Illustrator can't do this automatically. This is massively time-consuming. Specifics:To aid efficient workflow, we use linked files e.g. a single copy of a client logo or product image. These single files are then used across multiple files within various projects each with individual project folders (linked to PO numbers). This avoids repetition of files and also aids in that a change to an asset can be quickly rolled out across multiple files or even projects.Our whole company uses Google Drive. Whilst Adobe Cloud would solve this (presumably), it would complicate tracking and storing client work.Solutions:- Use InDesign instead. We currently do this but InDesign isn't the best program to design some of the work we produce (many reasons too numerous to mention). Hopefully you guys can supply anot

I recently had to create an invoice for a client in Illustrator with minimal copy applied. The illustrator file was 361K, yet the Acrobat PDF which I exported using standard PDF/X-4:2010 (Acrobat 7) came to 2.2MB. That seems disproportionately large for such a small, single page project. Any thoughts on why?

Hola a todos! Me encuentro usando la versión 29.1 de Illustrator y he comenzado a tener problemas con las fuentes, ya que cada vez que presiono la tecla Espacio se me cambia la fuente de texto que estoy utilizando a otra, sin razón alguna, por lo que quería saber si otros usuarios están teniendo el mismo problema y si es algo que empezó a ocurrir con la nueva update Muchas gracias!

I got stuck in sudden whenever I use illustrator in certain moment...i am not sure if this is about the font management app I used, as I got both Extensis suitaceand Monotype Fonts app, it just show up in sudden and I gotta force quit for my illustrator, anyone has experience in this and knows way to solve? 

In the last few years, I'm finding bugs constantly.  Something has happened at Adobe at a time when these tools are costing me more than ever, reliability is getting worse and worse.  I'm finding new bugs as soon as I launch the new updates lately.  I'm not sure what I can do about this.  I can't make time to be an unpaid beta tester, constantly reporting bugs, doing videos to illustrate them, etc.

Heya, i came along this site (https://bitbucket.org/joojaa/jooillustratorscripts/src/master/) and would like to know, what must be changed to be able to use it in the 2025 version. Since the script gives a dialog, but doesn't draw something, nor gives an error. Any ideas? Cheers,Christian

I've no idea why I can't get this to work. I type something in my document. I click on something else, to draw or whatever. I click type tool again, and it's re-set to the default font/colour, rather than the last font used.I don't want to change default overall, I just want it to remember the last font I used and use that for the next time I click on type tool in that particular document. This seems like a very common thing that people would want to do--i.e. use the same font in a document overall. Am I missing something?

When we got the client file. They just have PDF format only. In Illustrator CC change easy to change PDF to Vector. Now. can't to work. just the box only. also, can't edit anything. Anyone can help to fix ? or it is some reason to lock up ? Thank you

ive been trying to do my work and illustrator just keeps crashing over and over especially when i ctrl+v or do anything besides type.

I recently thought that I lost hours of work (in Adobe Illustrator) when I accidentally used control-Y (CTRL-Y) to redo something after I used control-Z (CTRL-Z) to undo a change. When I used control-Y, a white background with only fine outlines of my work remained. After trying to use control-Z (to undo my mistaken use of control-Y), and finding that it did absolutely nothing to resolve the problem, I began to experiment with the remnants of the work. I selected the entire image (which was only fine lines), used control-C (to copy the selection), then opened a new document and pasted the contents using control-V. Like magic, all of my work was on the new document - details, colors, everything! I can only theorize that the original work was not really lost, only hidden in a way that I was unable to recover on the original document.Wondering if anyone else has a solution for the mistaken use of control-Y in an Adobe Illustrator document.

I am experiencing extreme lag in Illustrator on my Macbook Pro M1 Max with 32GB of RAM. When using the selection tool to simply click objects, there is an extreme amount of lag and delay. Please watch the attached video to see this lag in action. When selecting an object I often get the spinning wheel. After clicking an object to select it, and then moving the mouse, the object gets dragged to a new location. If I drag a selection over the object, or click and drag the objects, they function correctly without lag. Can anyone help me? I don't know what else to do. I've restarted, uninstalled, reinstalled, and disabled GPU Performance. No luck.

Hallo,Seit heute fehlen bei mir Farbfelder und Verläufe. Auch Muster und.d Stile sind weg. Selbst die, die werksseitig installiert sind. Auch mit Import sind sie im Illustrator nicht verfügbar.  Ich bekomme grundsätzlich auf alles einen Schwarzweiß-Verlauf geklatscht, kann nichts anderes mehr auswählen.  Geändert hab ich nichts, ein Update gab es auch nicht.
