Every time I save a file as a PDF in Illustrator it automatically opens immediately afterwards in Adobe Acrobat. I can't seem to find out how to turn this off and it's driving me mad. Any help greatly appreciated.

Como puedo evitar este error, he hecho documentos mas grandes y este solo archivo me da el error.Es un archivo de 5.25mt x 1.6mt CMYK a 300dpi .

Ever since I updated, I noticed this. I am trying to edit the gradient I created earlier. It doesnt pickup the color of point I am editing, instead it loads white. The color hasn't changed yet, the color picker just appeared on the screen. The moment I slide it anyway even a bit on any slider, the new color will be there on the point. this is annoying. Secondly the file is in RGB mode. The sliders are named RGB. THe sliders also behave like RGB after editing, thought the slider color shows CMY. is it substractive depending on final color it will have. it is confusing. and I am not sure what was the scenerio in previous one. But the loading default is a big problem.

I receive this message when I try to open any Illustrator file from the cloud. Any help?

I just lost 5 hours of straight work as Illustrator crashed on me and didnt let me recover the files that were open at the time of the crash? What is this? Does installing Illustrator 30.0 mean resetting autosaving-settings to a default with no autosaving?!

Hi there guys I have been sweating trying to figure out how to achieve the effect you see on this rashguard. It looks like a halftone but I have the hardest time getting it to look even remotely similar. I would appreciate, sincerely, any tips of direction, perhaps a tutorial on how to achieve such an effect? With best regardsSebastian

Instead of draging the corners to apply a change, is there any way use keyboard key combination to move corners to make precise or small movement? 

I often deal with patterns for work, and I haven't encountered any issues until now. I cannot scale/resize my patterns in Illustrator. I haven't touched my settings, so I may have used a key bind accidentally? The following settings under the scale menu are ticked:Scale CornersScale Strokes & EffectsTransform ObjectsTransform Patterns I haven't encountered any issues with my stroke scaling, so I am very confused. 😞

After installing the latest stable version of Illustrator, the list of recent files on the welcome screen is gone. Changing the number of displayed recent files, restarting the computer and even doing a clean install of Illustrator didn't help, so it's likely an app bug introduced in 29.0.  

WHEN ARE PROJECT TURNTABLE FEATURES AVAILABLE?

Tenho infrentado este erro diariamente no ilustrator. Toda vez que movimento o mouse as cores da arte ficam piscando sem parar. Meu sistema operacional e pacote adobe estão sempre atualizados e mesmo assim o problema persiste. O que fazer? 

Illustrator 29.7.1 In some recent update, fonts are not being rendered in my art.   The layer that contained the fonts are still there, but everything is gone.   This was working fine ~6/2025 with no changes to the files. In the preview landing page of illustrator, all the same docs are still showing the rendered text without a problem.    Please fix this bug ASAP!
