Questions

Hi all,I am making a roll-up banner with a black background and a picture in it. The idea is to fade from the black background to the picture, and then back to black again. I overlaid the picture with a rectangle at both top edge and bottom edge of the picture. Both rectangles have a gradient that fades from 0% transparency (black) to 100% transparency (pure image). This looks great in Illustrator, but the exported PDF clearly shows 'hard' top and bottom edges of the picture. See screenshots of Illustrator and exported PDF attached. Does anyone know how to solve this issue?

Hi allWhen I create guidelines in multible artboards of same size - in one column - the vertical guides show on all artboards. How can I make horizontal guidelines that show up on all artbords in similar manner? 

I can't copy and paste text from illustrator to any other program. When I select some text on AI and then copy it in the, for example, Whatsapp App or on my NotePad app on my MacBook the text copies as an image with white background. This didn't happen before the last update.¿Any thoughts?Thanks 🙂

Why are the Printer's crop marks out of illustrator now double the length of indesign when saving PDFs? It's changing the offset of my print files and causing extra work. Is there a setting to change the length of the crop marks? Please don't bother telling me to draw them in the artboard as that is not standard practice in the printing industry in the U.S. Bleed and crop marks are used outside the edge of the artboard always. I don't understand why Adobe keeps changing things that were perfectly functional. It's maddening.(I could have left out the last couple lines but, I've been using these programs for 20+ years and never seen them this messed up)

Hi everyone,I'm encountering an issue when I download a PDF from a Google Slides file that contains PNG graphics created in Adobe Illustrator. The images often show up with blurry or blackish edges, and the colors appear brighter than expected (see below for an example). From what I understand, this might be related to how Google Slides exports to PDF, but I’m wondering if I might also be missing something in my Illustrator color management settings.Here’s what I’ve noticed:The problem seems to occur mainly when viewing the PDF in Apple Preview, where the colors appear too bright or with a blackish edge.When I open the same PDF in Google Chrome or Adobe Acrobat, the images display normally, though the colors are still slightly brighter. At least, the PNGs and the colors added within Google Slides remain consistent.Here’s what I’ve tried so far:Tested different PPI settings (75, 150, and 300) for the PNGs when downloading the file at 1920x1080 px resolution.Resized the images to 980x540

Is there an easy way to save the screenshot and do the process whose link I wrote? When I want to do it as an action, it does not save the operations selected from the menu, such as "Delete All Artboards", to the action. Are there any friends who can write the flow I shared in the video as a script? Thank you in advance and waiting for your answers.Kindly regards.

Hello, I want my artboard details on excel sheet like name, size, colour code, thumbnail of artboard. is there any way to do this in a single click. Please let me know. 

Just recently my rulers are not behaving. I have them shown, but when I pull a ruler onto the artboard-there it stays! I can not move again or delete it. It just plops there and stays! Every time I look up ruler problems online for help it keeps bringing me to "show the ruler tool" I know how to show it, I just can not get it to behave:(. Very frustrating, please help! Thank you

I created these wavy lines and want to fill in the segments using the shape builder tool. To create the wavy lines, I made a straight line > Effect > Distort and Transform > Zig Zag. I then made an Art Brush using that wavy line, thus allowing me to apply it to an elipse.  When I try to use the Shape Builder Tool to fill in the spaces with color, it fills in the spaces but straightens the lines out and creates these really bizarre line paths. I have no idea why.  

Hi everyone! I primarily use Illustrator to create my designs, but I often have difficulties when it comes to transferring these designs to InDesign, especially in maintaining the quality and integrity of the editable vector artwork. Could anyone help me with tips or an efficient workflow to make this transition smoother and problem-free? Thanks in advance!

Forgive me, I am very new to designing for print collateral. I am making designs to be printed on 3.7" x 3.7" coasters. However, I can't image working on a roughly 4" x 4" workboard would yield clear results. For anyone that has successfully designed coasters, what specs/dimensions did you work in?

I have a silver gradient swatch that I named in one project file, and would like to use it on other project files.For some reason, I am unable to get it to show in other files. Thanks in advance for your help!

Imagine you have filesmain.jsxutils.jsxIn "main.jsx" you specify #target, #targetengine directives so some of your variables could be persistent and use #include to get your utils functions so you could use them later. And... Here you go, your values are not persistent. They become persistent only if you get rid of #include statement. Is it intended behaviour? How do i make #targetengine work and keep my variables at next script run with #include directive? Unfortunately i can't serialize my values to string and save it later so session is my only option.Example code below:--- main.jsx --- #target illustrator #targetengine "session001" #include 'utils.jsx'; if (isNaN(foo)) var foo = 0; foo += 2; alert(foo); --- utils.jsx --- var bar = null;      

Cuando intento abrir Illustrator se queda en la ventana de carga. Es la ultima actualizacion y la maquina que tengo es un MacBook Pro del 2023. Lo desinstale y reinstale y sigue igual. Lo mismo me pasa con Photoshop. Alguien sabe que sucede.

Bonjour, Je possède un GPU AMD Radeon Pro WX3200 Graphics et tous les drivers ont été installés et mis à jours. J'ai configuré dans mes paramètres graphiques Windows d'utiliser Illustrator en performances élevées. Mais au lancement, c'est toujours ma Intel (native) qui se lançait. J'ai donc désactivé ma carte graphique Intel. Malheureusement, voici l'erreur de GPU présente sur Illustrator. Je ne comprends pas ...

Hello.I'm not sure how I caused this or why Adobe isn't changing the color of the object in the layers panel. Further why Adobe is allowing this to happen? How can I prevent this from happening in the future?I'm assuming I used the eye dropper to change the blue letters to white. In my design process the artwork was first created with the blue color. I'm including the Appearance and Layers panel in my screen shot.This print job resulted in a print error and the need to reprint the job. The blue color is what was printed when the white should have been printed.Thank you for your assistance. 

Depuis l'installation des dernières mises à jours (et celà fait plusieurs jours) les applications Photoshop, Illustrator et In Design ainsi que les appli Béta, ne répondent plus lors de l'ouverture. Pourquoi depuis tout ce temps il n'y a pas un mise à jour de faite ? Y'a t'il une solution ? (J'ai déjà essayé de passer sur la version antérieure mais rien n'y fait).Merci

Does anyone know how to explain why the colors appear broken in the color palette and the color picker is OK???

I'm stumped by this, which I assume is a bug. I have an AI file with 60+ artboards of logos in RGB using the same RGB swatches. I am exporting them with 'Export for screens' as PNG, JPG, SVG and PDF files. They are all meant to be in RGB and the PNG, JPG and SVG files are all fine. When I use 'Export for screens', all the files are in RGB EXCEPT the logos with a white (transparent) background; those files are CMYK files. Here's a screenshot of the color settings in the PDF preset I'm using.  Any ideas how I can prevent the CMYK? 

hi guys! I have an issue that i can't solve. Hope you guys can help me out.When I export a content, it pops up in the file column.. how do i solve this? anyone experiencing the same thing? 

Anyone have any thoughts on why Illustrator keeps locking up on me.  I have to re-start in order to continue working only to have it happen again.  

Hola, tengo una duda, ¿Porqué Illustrator me cambia los colores?Por ejemplo, creo mi archivo y realizo mi arte, le coloco el color #ed1a3b a ciertos elementos, pero a los dias cuando vuelvo a ingresar al documento el color cambia a #d9003b o cualquier otro 😢Tambien me sucede con los objetos inteligentes de Photoshop, al pasarlos de un programa a otro esta todo bien, pero a los dias, el objeto cambia de color automaticamente... tengo que estar revisando constantemente porque lo cambia sin razon alguna.  Le tengo asignado el perfil de color RGB 1998, trabajo en una alienware M15 R2, tambien he visto ese problema en mi macbook pro. 

 

This seems to be a recurring discussion for years now, but the last conversations I could find were from a couple years ago. I'm hoping to reopen it with more insights.  I've been using illustrator for a few years now, and have never run into this issue until today. I design magazine ads, which freqently require a 300dpi JPEG.  Today, an editor let me know the files i sent were 72dpi, adn asked for me to resend them. I thought, this is strange... I could have sworn I remembered creating the file and exporting it at 300? So I went back to check and sure enough, I did.Replicating my steps:I create a new CMYK file at 300dpi. Confirmed that the hero imaged placed in the file is in fact 300 dpi alsoFile>Export AsSelected JPEG, Use Artbords, then I get the following screen where I choose CMYK 300ppiI click "OK" and when I go to check the file, it's blurry, and Preview is reading it as a 72dpi image. What is actually going on here? And what is the solution for
