Questions

Just wondering if anyone else is having this problem after updating to MacOS Squoia 15.0.Illustrator is running ok (as far as I've explored), but the pdf's I'm getting after export are looking screwy when opened by Preview. Here's how the file looks in Illustrator, or when the pdf is opened by Acrobat (ie everything is correct) But here's how it looks when opene by Preview, or when I print it (the type and graphics that were white have changed to black, sometimes with a white outline) Do I just give it a few days for Adobe to patch? Thanks 🙂

Wondering if there's a script out there that will automate the swapping of fill and stroke for multiple objects in a complex image. Doing it object-by-object is a bit tedious (even using 'select similar' commands).A simplified example: I have four solid filled boxes with no stroke, each box a different color. Can I automate switching stroke and fill on each one so I end up with four non-filled boxes, each stroked with their former fill color? Perhaps there's a way to automate the sequential selection of each object and perform the swaps one at a time.Thanks for any advice!

I downloaded an Illustrator business card template that include the actual business card size as well as a bleed. When I export it as a photoshop file (with layers) it crops the image to the actual card size but disregards the bleed. How do I export the template file to include the bleed? Additionally, when I open the Artboard dialog the ruler changes. The secon Ps file shows the ruler w/o the Artboard dialog.

I added a material, but would like it to be on all the letters not just one of them (if I move it will go onto others but never on all the letters not distorted (I tried rotating) on sides only (think I can handle this with a duplicate on top and removing extrusion and material, wondering if a better way exists.  

How to check the raster image resolution in illustrator through script?

Estaba trabajando en un documento en nube y el programa dejó de responder. Estoy desde windows asi que dice "No Responde". Pasan varios minutos e intento cerrar el programa, hago click en la opción, esperar a que el programa responda, y sale un mensaje como Illustrator esta recopilando datos, o algo así. Se termina de cerrar y busco si hay algun recuperado o algo y nada. 2 horas de trabajo eliminados. Estoy segura que guarde varias veces antes. De todos modos, tengo la configuración para datos de recuperación cada 2 minutos, y autoguardado en nube cada 5 min. Es imposible que haya perdido 2 horas de trabajo, y aquí estoy, con todo el progreso avanzado eliminado completamente. Ya revise la carpeta de Data Recovery y esta vacía, y en propiedades dice que no tiene tamaño. No hay nada. Es primera vez que me pasa algo así, es bastante grave ya que estoy 100% segura que guarde despues dentro de estas 2 horas. Minimo 30 a 20 minutos antes de que dejará de responder el programa.

I was unable to find a fix for this in my searching here and other sources, I am a beginner with Illustrator and 3D file types I am trying to export this as GLTF but it is grayed out (see image). I am not certain what I am doing wrong, and yes I have selected the asset and there are other file types clearly available to select. Trying export to put it in Adobe Dimension. Thanks! 

App crashed during an important project, I have my file handling already set to save ever two minutes, but the file in the data recovery autosave location is in an unkown formatt and cannot be opened. I have renamed the file with a .ai but this doesn't work. Is there a way to recover this file? Many thanks. 

I noticed 2-3 updates ago that when I click the fill or stroke dropdowns in the top right tool bar that the dropdown menu is all glitchy. Sometimes only two menu options are visible and the whole menu is out of wack.I'm attaching 3 screenshots I took all within seconds of eachother. One is normal, one is nearly invisible except for two buttons, and one is missing just a few items. The only thing that temporarily resolves it is switching between "Color Mixer", "Gradients", and back to "Swatches". I just updated today to 28.7.1, but had this issue with the previous version as well.Is there anything I'm missing here? Or anything I can try to get rid of this issue? 

Hello everyone, here's the problem I can't solve.I have a set of svgs, but one of them keeps empty transparent space on 4 sides. The fault lies with the bounding box of an element of the composition, a circle that extends onto 3 sides of the artboard. Request.How do I delete the space occupied by the circle bounding box. Thanks

I installed the latest update, and now EVERY AI file I have on my computer (going back years) shows with a PDF icon (I'm on PC, BTW). I know that sometimes an individual file can be corrupted and default to a PDF, but I'm talking about files I have never opened with this new version of Illustrator!  I'm afraid to open any of my old files for fear of corrupting them! Is this an Illustrator error or some kind of virus?  Any ideas? UPDATE: I uninstalled Illustrator and Acrobat, reinstalled (Illustrator first), then restarted my computer.  All of my AI files show an Acrobat icon.  Whn you hover over the filename, it says it's an AI file, but when you open it, it opens in Acrobat!!

I am looking to see if there is a way to render out a structured logo pack from illustrator using one button.  The logo pack i have designed is created to help people find the right logo to use for the right purpose. For example if you need a high res print file with transparant background you would follow the path of CMYK_For_Print > PNG_300_DPI  Currently when creating logo packs i render out the assets by file type, SVG, PNG, JPEG and then spend some time draggin the assets to the correct folder, but im wondering if there is a way to render the various logo types into a specific folders creating the structured logo pack saving me a lot of work. I have over 100 logo packs to create for variations of the main brand logo im using. I have included an image of the logo pack file structure. It might seem a bit folder heavy but if you follow the process of why you need the logo and for what purpose it should take someone with no knowledge of logos or f

I've had this problem for a few days now, the program always worked fine but now when I want to export an image to the web it simply doesn't save or I have to restart the program several times until I can do it. No errors appear, the process seems normal until I look for the file on the PC and it is not found. Does anyone know how to solve it?

Hi there, I can find endless 3D text tutorials that create rendered text using the new render tools - but nothing on creating 3D vector text. I notice there's no perspective distort (or similar) under transform and that there are perspective functions under the Object menu but they're always greyed-out. Is there a way to create old-school 3D text like this - but using vectors?  And if you have to create it by hand, what would the prcess be in Illustrator? Sorry, I've never drawn anything in perspective so not sure how you approach this. Any pointers in the right direction much appreciated. Cheers, Ben

Hi - I'm looking to do a project.  I'm not sure which Adobe application is the right one to use, if any, but I figure Illustrator is the most likely candidate, so I'll as here. I'm looking to do a project where 4 high resolution images will be properly aligned under a lower resolution image of the entire scene. My reason is that an image of the whole scene at the detail I need is producing too large of a file when exported as a flattened JPG, PNG, PDF, BMP, etc.  While I'm not super savy when it comes to this, I guess I'm looking for my my computer to only open and use the files that cover the part of the image that I'm viewing, and would access the detailed viles when zoomed in, but the broad image when zoomed out. Can anyone recommend an adobe app to build and read such file from, that is, if one even exists? Thanks.  PS - I have a very powerful mac. 20 cores and 128 GB of memory. 

I have put this up elsewhere too as I am in a panic. Job we did a couple of years ago use Acherus Grotesque font. For some reason it is no longer on my drive. It is not in Adobe fonts. I went and spent the $50 to get the licensed font, but I can't get it to load. I double click-install, but it doesn't show up. I went to Adobe Cloud and uploaded to the fonts, rebooted everything, still nothing. I need this font to work. What am I doing wrong? It still shows as a missing font, I've activated I've done everything I know to do. HELP!
