Hi All.Adobe has informed me that "The OS on this computer is incompatible with the Illustrator desktop app. Update your OS to install Illustrator, or open this link on a compatible computer."I'm using a Mac mini 2023 with an Apple M2 chip, 8 GB Memory, and the latest OS software - OS Sequola Ver 15.0.1.Is anyone else having this issue? Any solutions?

After I have finished with a file and I close the file, I cannot Move or Delete that file since the latest update.I'm receiving a"This action can't be completed because the file is open in Illustrator"message.This also happens if I open a file and close immediately without making any changes....My only work around is closing the whole application, move or delete the file, then reopen the application.This is very frustrating and time consuming as I deal with a few hundred files/day.Before the latest update, I could close the file (leaving the main application open" and do what i like with the files, Move/Delete etc Has anyone else come across this ? or know how I can get this fixed ? Any help would be massively appreciated.....

Bonjour,Lors du saisie du texte ou de surligner, le curseur change automatiquement à sélectionner. Je n'arrive pas à surligner plusieurs textes sans à chaque fois revenir et sélectionner le pinceau.

Hi, I'm looking for a way to quickly locate and use my company's brand fonts. 5 are Adobe fonts, and 6 were purchased through my organization.  I thought favoriting them in Adobe Fonts would do the trick but even with them favorited online, they are not favorited in llustrator...(?) Plus that is of no help when it comes to the 6 installed fonts. Recent fonts is working ok, but if you don't use a font for a while it falls off, and you may forget about it until you have to dig for it again.  Can someone please let me know how to keep brand fonts at the top of the type list, or at the least filter them. 

Bonjour,Lorsque j'utilise le mode 3d et matières sur Illustrator, le message suivant s'affiche :"pour l'instant, l'effet 3d et matiere ne s'applique pas entierement sur certains types d'objets" Auriez-vous recontré le même problème ?  Merci 

Okay, I'm really struggling with this and nobody I ask seems to know how to do this. I have created a little piece of vector art in illustrator but i now need to warp the perspective as if it were moving inwards. HOWEVER, I cant seem to turn my art into one single, flat warpable image. Everytime I try to warp in, I have to do each individual shape I've traced, which is frustrating as there are few parts to it, some of which are a bit detailed. This way also just does not get the perspective right. Is there any way I can change this, as if it were an image from the internet?

Why is this 3d effect text making it so blury.It's already rendered. 

Hi there,I was wondering if anyone has a script they'd like to share which would rename all artboards in a document with their size?ThanksEric

I created a complex illustration for a client in Illustrator and sent it to them as a pdf. For their purposes, there was no need to save it as anything larger than "smallest file size" which eliminated the "preserve editing capabilities in illustrator." This didn't seem like a big deal at the time, since I had the Illustrator file. Then my Mac crashed before I had backed the file up, and I lost everything. My client now wants modifiactions to the illustration. I was able to retrieve the pdf attachment from my "sent" emails, but when I try to open it from Illustrator, *surprise surprise* I can't edit it. I can see that everything is still vector art, but I can't select any of it – all selection tools just display as the same weird pen. Is there ANY WAY to make the vectors in this file editable in Illustrator again? Any help is much appreciated!

Yes I am a newb to Photoshop and adobe. Because adobe tricked me into paying for a subscription to ADOBE STOCK, I now have these "Credits" to use on various stock images. So I am trying to make some designs with whats available. My problem I am having is that I am trying to figure out how to edit the text, basically change it from the text that is in the editable AI file. But I can't find anything online on how to do it. And the replies to some of the postings on here that are somewhat similar to my questions are very vague to where it makes no sense what so ever. So if you happen to know what I'm talking about, please help me out. Pretend I'm some one who never used this program before (I only used this for 3 months) I'm still getting familar with it but I don't know what is where. So saying "oh just Go to the Appearance panel and you will see" Will not be in any way helpful. Cause I would need to know where that panel is and what to click to get to it.Here is a link to the Resource I

Hello, just wanted to share a script I put together based on some others found online. My workflow at the moment is to prepare LaTeX equations in illustrator, then export them as PSDs for use in Premiere with every sub-layer being a separate later and each layer acting as a photoshop group. However, I found the conversion from illustrator to photoshop files a bit confusing, especially how the layers tend to flatten when exporting. So the way I found to retain all layers is to group each sub-layer by itself. However when you group it it doesn't retain the name of the sub-layer, and on top of that I have each character in the equations as a separate sub-layer and Premiere will merge them as the same footage if they are named the same. So, my script groups all the sub-layers by themselves, checks if the name has shown up before, and renames the group to the name of the sublayer, incrementing it it already exists. This should make every sublayer grouped and uniquely named to prepare for PS

Hello, using variables panes I used to be able to load web hosted images into a data set, unfortunatetly this images aren´t loading anymore, I got a real trouble because i can`t load the images from the link contained in the csv (The links were cheked and they work rigth), I tried to do it but nothing happens, I did an experiment relocating some of the images in a local folder and it worked, anyone knows what elese I have to check, any tip will be usueful, because I'm stuck in the midle of the work and it's starting to be an emergency. 

I used to do this all the time at one of my old jobs, but for the life of me I cannot figure out how I used to do it and I cannot find the answer anywhere.  So I made a line and added text to the line. What I am trying to do is have a placeholder so when I paste replacement text it will stretch/condense to fill in or fit in the space between the brackets. For example, wether you paste "Ohio" or "Massachusetts" into the text line, it will automatically fill it or fit it within the brackets. How do I get it to do that?  

So for work, we have documents that have the same design repeated 3/4 times at various sizes so to make workflow easier, we tend to use symbols to repeat designs. On certain designs however, when the symbol is scaled down, the artwork within vanishes. The symbol bounding box is still there but no visible art. I can double click into the symbol and get to the full size art to edit but upon exiting its gone.  Not sure what the issue is. Making the symbols static does fix the issue but causes more headaches for other parts of the business. 

How can I distort text in illustrator?

Hi i'm trying to create a custom color swatch palette of neon color strokes, for which i am using custom gradients. After tinkering with the settings, I end up with a radial gradient like this one :Note that this is a stroke on a single line, not a fill. I can then save the gradient as "BLUE NEON", but when I try applying it to another line, i don't get the right gradient and get this instead :It looks like it saves all gradient settings except "Apply gradient through the stroke", circled in red here :Anyone know how I can successfully fully save my gradient to use in other documents ?Thanks in advance !

Hello all, I think I may have just installed latest update of Illustrator.  Now I see dashed lines around all the images on my artboard.  The dashed lines trace around the border of the images.  I did not see this before.  I noticed when I zoom in a lot they go away.  Any idea how I can removed the dashed border lines?  See attached photo.  Thanks!

Have you ever required to customise Illustrator more, well, this is a feature that is here a lont time ago and ir would be nice to have more options: In Preferences > Smart Guides, we should have more options to add custom angles, since six fields are falling short. Is this doable?

Today when I opened illustrator, it randomly whiched to CPU previewing. And, yes, I've tried everything.

Up to several months ago illustrator had no problem running , Split View or otherwise as well as any app but around early 2023, the app begins to crash consistently through multiple OS updates. Pencil and finger motions, even the simple function causes it to crash even sometimes just loading to the main overview screen causes the app to crash. I've waited patiently for the matter to resolve, there was a moment where the app seems to run fine but those moments hav been just that , moments, 15 minutes long before returning to consistent crashing. Now well close to the end of 2024 the matter has not resolved and even still , all the other adobe apps run fine , but it is still illustrator that is entirely inoperable. I've also serried many of the solutions found in other forums, turning off Bluetooth, turning off effects, deleting the app , restarting and then reinstalling, all have not worked, if anyone is able to help a solution it would be very appreciated as I use the app quite of
