Javascript/Vba scripts working well in CS5 is not working properly in CC,shows parm error and takes long time to execute. With enhanced app features i expect reducing execution time, but adobe illustartor 2023 and above versions taking long hours than expected and shows parm error often

An error occurs when copying and pasting the desired color.What is the solution? Since the desired color is blue, I copy this color value and I pasted the copied color value into the line. The color seemed different, so I increased the thickness of the line and checked, and it turned out to be a different color from the desired blue. I go into the document and change the color setting to CMYK, but it doesn't work. macbook pro (16inch, M2)maxOS : Sequoia 15.1Adobe : v29.0.1

Knowing Illustrator operates at 72ppi, I'm looking for clarification on how the resampling works when exporting higher resolution.If I have a 300ppi image inside a 72ppi document and export at 300dpi, is it resampling the image @ ~416%? Or is it 300dpi at the physical dimension of the artboard in inches?Mainly asking, as the pixel dimensions are 1000 pixels(AI and Bridge) @ 72dpi, vs exporting @ 300dpi it's 4167 pixels.The links panel looks like the dimensions match the 300dpi export, but just curious as the measurements are a bit confusing.Looks to me like the image is 300dpi based on the physical size of the document and not the pixel dimensions.

HiI created a design that involves blending modes, however when i save it as a PDF the blending modes don't show. Can anyone help?

I've seen posts about this before, but haven't found anything that's fixed it for me. I'm runing OSX 10.15.3, trying to paste copied graphs from Excel (version 16.34) into Illustrator 24.0.3. Whatever font I've used to make a graph in Excel, when I paste it into Illustrator, the text changes from letters to symbols (screenshot below).  I tried a solution I've seen elsewhere, exporting from Excel to a PDF. When I open the PDF in Acrobat, it looks fine, but when I open it in Illustrator, it looks just like in the screenshot below. If I export from Excel into a postscript file, Illustrator opens it and it looks normal. That isn't a great work-around, however, because the imported text isn't in text boxes, so it doesn't make it any easier to edit than the other way. Any thoughts? Why is Illustrator not reading the font the same way that Acrobat and Excel are?  Thanks in advance. 

So, the internet says this isn't a thing every time I've looked, but I've discovered recently(ish? last couple months to a year maybe) that if I place an image that has a path in the paths panel in Photoshop, it will display in Illustrator with the path clipping my image. The only way I've been able to fix is to remove the path from the image in photoshop and re-save it.Is there a setting somewhere in Illustrator now that lets you enable or disable the clipping path like InDesign does? Is this a bug now? This never used to be an issue, Illustrator just used to ignore the paths in linked files. I've done a decent amount of searching and haven't seen the answer.

I am using Illustrator version 29.0.1. When I try to create a new file, the centimeters unit doesn't appear among the measurement units in the setup panel. However, once I open the file, centimeters are available in all workspace measurement settings. It’s only missing in the initial setup panel. How can I fix this?

How can I rotate only one of the items in the Objects on Path option?

I really like the vector based generative AI feature but I find it limited in the sense that it stops being useful once it could get really really good. Meaning that until now I only find the option to generate one prompt and thenre-write it completely not being able to refine and refine more. Is there a feature or a possibility to follow-up on these prompts? like "this is great now please rotate the right armon that person to point upwards", "great, now make the thumb on that hand standing out" etc.  Kind of more of like a contextual type prompting similar to ChatGPt.

Oi gente, fiz um desenho e preciso colorir ele, mas não consigo de jeito nenhum, até com a paintfinder não deu, nas camadas o desenho aparece com cor, mas pra mim ele aparece em preto e branco, alguém consegue me dar uma mão? 

I'm unable to change the colour of existing shapes in an illustrator document, new shapes work as expected. Is this a known issue with the current version, or has anyone had this issue before? The colour picker shows the correct colour and the shape is the correct colour when it's exported to After Effects, so it seems like it's related to how the shape is being rendered.  

Greetings,Can anyone provide any help with correcting the bugs in JavaScript I got from ChatGPT?Thanks for any help on this 🙂 I asked chatGPT the following: write me a script for adobe illustrator that will:1. batch open dxf files at Original Size, press OK on the DXF/DWG Options UI 2. Change the Document Color Mode to CMYK3. Create color swatch with the following values: Swatch Name: CutContour, Color Type: Spot Color, Color Mode: CMYK, C= 0% M=100% Y=0% K=0% 4. change the color of all objects on Layer 1 on Artboard 1 to the Swatch Name: CutContour 5. change the stroke thickness to 0.1pt to all objects on Layer 1 6. Select all objects on Layer 1, add a check to the box for Overprint Stroke located on the Attributes panel 7. fit the artboard to the artwork, rename Layer 1 to CutContour on Artboard 1 8. add a 0.0785 inch bleed to the Document Setup 9. save a .AI file version in the same folder of the open dxf file and use the same exa

Bonjour à tous, Je souhaite installer Adobe Illustrator mas on me demande de mettre à jour mon système.Je suis sur Windows 10 v22H2, avec un processeur intel i3 10100F avec 16 Go de RAM, une carte Graphique Radeon 5500XT 8Go (les pilotes sont tous à jour)  et j'ai largement de la place sur mon disque pour l'installation. Avez-vous une idée ? Merci 

So there's this tool in Illustrator called the Puppet Warp tool which I REALLY like, but sadly it's extremely destructive.For example, I made this quick figure and manually set a few points down to make it similar to the basic skeleton a 3D Model would use.And whilst I feel like the math used to calculate the warping could do with some improvements as well,the main problem here is that once I switch tools or deselect the object all of the custom points I set will vanish and the next time I try using puppet warp, it simply tries to automatically place points again.And like mentioned at the start of this post, it's a destructive action, so unless you make a backup of the unmodified object, you can't revert back to its unwarped form.I think it's these exact points that make this tool extremely underused despite how much potential it has.Like if you could toggle the posing on/off and your custom points would actually be kept at all times, this has the potential to be a full-blown 2D riggin

How can I stop this opening each time I start up the new Illustrator?- Quite annoying!

Hallo zusammen.Ich würde gerne in Illustrator die folgende Funktion deaktivieren:Bei der Größeneingabe von Objekten findet eine Transformation durch Bewegung/ Berührung des Scrollrads der Maus statt. Klickt man in das Feld zum festlegen der Größe und kommt leicht an die Scrollfunktion (#Applemaus), erhöht oder verringert sich der eingegebene Wert sofort um eine ganze Einheit (1,0 mm, 1 px, 1,0 cm...). Ich würde die Eingabe gerne kontrolliert nur über die Eingabe von festen Werten oder die Richtungspfeile über die Tastatur begrenzt haben. Gibt es da irgendwo ein Häkchen?? Vielen Dank vorab 🙂

Color picker preview in Illustrator doesn't match the circled color in the color field, and in the document. As you can see below, the selected color in the color field matches the document. But the preview shows it as much brighter.I don't have this problem in Photoshop. Everything matches, as you can see below.These are both blank documents that I started in RGB profile. The color settings are the same.Illustrator:Photoshop:It looks like the Illustrator preview matches the color in my Windows Photos viewer, as seen below.Also, when I screenshotted it and pasted it into Photoshop, the hex code for the Photos viewer is the same code as the original! But the code for the PS/AI screenshots dimmed. I guess when I screenshot, it's being recorded in the Windows color space which is brighter so the PS/AI colors would be dimmed down. Anyhow, I don't know why the Illustrator preview is matching the Windows color. It's not like that in Photoshop. How can I fix this? Or is this an Illustrat

I need illustrator Version 2022. Because some of the fonts are not working in my new version 2025.

I mean it's been years nowWhy is it not poosible to create a layer where i am in the stack?  How many years do we have to wait to be able to create a layer right where we are in the stack versus having to scroll waaaay above somewhere to find the new layer?And once the new layer is created (and resting at the top of the stack) then how do we move the layer back into the place where we were working ?  By selecting and dragging it of course which is more time wasting as it scrolls the stack at snails pace. There is a new sublayer button, but this does nothing more than moves the new layer to the top of the existing stack versus outside of it, and is kinda a waste of development.A new sublayer button does not address this problem.  

I am quite new with Illustrator and I am trying to connect 2 path with different strokes width but without any luck. Both paths are intersecting in the right place.

Good evening. Without having changed anything, when I wanted to save a document in PDF, this note appeared: "The page size is outside the supported range" - But my document is a normal format of 300x400 mm... How is it possible that I am prevented from saving it???

Just wanted to post, as I was today-years-old to discover this. All this time I thought I had to crack open the kerning tables on these fonts I've been using over the years. Letters 'r' and 't' kissing each other, 'A' and 'V' too far apart and avoiding each other. The letter pairs list goes on.. Look what happens when you change the 'Auto' to 'Optical'..  I feel empowered. 🤗And curious question for the illustrator engineers - why not make the 'Optical' as the 'Auto'. Because evidently the Auto is Automatically off. 🤷‍♂
