Hi, I have a script which works fine on my device, but not on the device of the person I made the script for, both devices are windows and using the same Illustrator version. The script fails on the file opening section. Here is the error message they get:Error 1200: an Illustrator error occured: -54 (ÿÿÿÊ)The code for the script is below.Any help would be appreciated, thanks.  var input = 'G:/Shared drives/Creative Drive/Test Input'; var output = 'G:/Shared drives/Creative Drive/Test Output'; var inputFolder = Folder(input); var outputFolder = Folder(output); var theFiles = inputFolder.getFiles(); var thePath = outputFolder.path; main(); function main(){ if (theFiles) { for (var m = 0; m < theFiles.length; m++) { var filename = theFiles[m].name.toString(); if (filename.indexOf(".ai") > 0){ var splits = filename.split("_"); var fileRef = new File( input+'/'+filename ); var doc_a = app.open(fileRef); var illustratorDoc = app.activeDocument;

How do I import .dxf files into AI latest version? I do not see the Import option under File menu.Please help!

I edited a file with the recently v295 version but when I used the Beta version to open it, the edited content is not there. This is the same when I do the reverse, i.e. edit in the v29 version and the Beta version doesn't show the edited content. Furthermore, I tried saving the same file in a different name i.e. with the Beta version in one name and the v29 version in another name but when you use the FIle/Open menu, each of the versions doesn't show the file that was saved. i.e. Beta won't show the v29 file and vice versa. Worse still, the file saved with the v29 version desn't even appear in the folder ... but you can still open it with the FIle/Open within the App. So, where is it??? Weird.

Every single time I open my Libraries pane in Illustrator, I have to close out these two annoying dialogs before I can access my libraries.  Every. Single. Time. I. Open. Illustrator.  I've already unchecked "Show Tool Tips" and "Show Rich Tool Tips" in Settings > General - how do I stop this madness? 

Hi - I try to make a very "simple" Adobe Illustrator Javascript based on the below script (I found it somewhere years ago on internet, tbh can't remeber where). The script should simply reset to zero (0°) the "rotate" value of the current selected placed item.I tried already a lot of stuff, but can't make it works  :-P:I found information like "app.getRotationMatrix(…)".  But yeah… How to make it work?   🤷🏻  Here is the source code (base), not the final script:  selection = app.activeDocument.selection; for (i=0; i<selection.length; i++) { if(selection[i].typename == "TextFrame" || selection[i].typename == "PlacedItem" || selection[i].typename == "RasterItem") { get_matrix = selection[i].matrix; if(selection[i].typename == "PlacedItem") get_matrix = concatenateScaleMatrix(get_matrix, 100, -100); invMatrix = invertMatrix(get_matrix); invMatrix.mValueTX = 0; invMatrix.mVal

I'm trying to use the align tool for text to distribute spacng vertically. When I select the text and go to the align tool window, the option to enter the measurement for distribute spacing is shaded out. As well, the key object doesn't highlight or allow me to highlight. Attempts to solve:Opening and closing Illustrator.Uninstalling and reinstalling.Varying the order in which I highlight the text, open the align window, re-highlighting the text, etc. This is insanely frustrating, and while I've found answers relating to Align Tool not working, including the measurement, none of them address this. The closest thing I found referred to the suggestions I've already tried. Does anyone know what's going on? I was using it perfectlty yesterday with no problem! I closed illustrator and opened it this morning and now this!!

Hopefully someone has had this before, it's only recently started happening to me but doesn't seem to happen in any of my other adobe programs. Sometimes it just completely freezes and I have to force it to close. When reopening it says its managed to recover my documents but they don't reopen, only a blank document labelled "print" opens back up so I keep losing lots of work. One of my colleagues suggested my hard drive is too full but after a huge clearout I thought I was free,  but it's started happening again 

Hi all, We receive designs where certain objects have more than one fill colour. I'm not sure how they happen to become like this, only that every now and then they're there. The top fill is visibile, but masks off the underlying fills. The invislbe (redundant) fills must be some inherent appearance that just stuck around I guess. When importing these Illustrator files into our prepress software PACKZ the objects with multiple fills apparently get converted into multiple overlaying objects . Still no issue: the top object completely covers the objects underneath masking the redundant colour fill, and the design remains visibly correct.But when the printer uses these PACKZ files in his RIP process, the RIP somehow detects the underlying objects and adds them to the colour separation.For example, if you have a rectangle in a blue spot colour on top of a red spot colour, both spot colours appear in the colour separation, instead of just the blue one. So I would like tr

I have the maintain width and height proportions linked, but it never works. The objects keep being disproportionate when resizing them. What's the solution to this?

Bonjour, J'ai un motif type frise pour lequel j'ai utilisé la fonction entrelacement afin de faire passer chaque courbe l'une sur l'autre. Quand je le glisse dans forme pour créer une forme de motif, l'entrelacement disparait.Décomposer le motif ne permet à priori pas de régler le probleme.Comment garder définitivement l'entrelacement? Merci!

Hello, my workstation just updated to Illustrator 2025 Version 29.0 and suddenly I can no longer open .aix files exported from ArcGIS Pro. Two weeks ago, I could perform this function easily by double clicking an .aix file and signing in to my ESRI account within Illustrator, but now I am not getting a series of prompts. My attempt to open the file is dead on arrival as shown here: what happened? what is the new process?
