Hi everyone,I'm encountering an issue when trying to open cloud-saved files from Adobe Creative Cloud on my Windows 11 machine. Even though I have Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator installed, I'm getting the following message:"Get an app to open this 'adbai' link. Your PC doesn't have an app that can open this link. Try looking for a compatible app in the Microsoft Store."I have checked my apps and everything seems up to date. Has anyone else faced this issue or knows how to resolve it? Thanks in advance for your help!

I am having issues with Read-write permissons with Illustrator on Mac, I have followed this guide Preferences folder read-only error | Permissions issue (adobe.com), however the problem is that we have mutiple Macs with mutiple users signing in to those Macs via Active Directory. I was wondering if there is a solution to fix the permissions system wide instead of going in to each users folder and doing it manually.  

JUST ONCE I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE ADOBE STOP TINKERING POINTLESSLY WITH THIER APPS!!!!!Just when you think you have mastered an app like Illustrator the fools go and completely F it up with random nosensical changes to tools, set-up, etc. Seriously, Adobe, you are pushing me more and more to just move over to using all of Affinity's apps becuase dealing with your nonsense proves tiresome.

Working on Adobe Illustrator CC 18 (20.0.1) on a mac running OS 10.11.6. A number of my toolbars are not providing dropdown menus. More specifically, I cannot click on the arrow next to the type size to see a drop down of menu options. Noticed the same for Transparency tool; the drop down does not work so I cannot change the transparency effect. Has anyone experienced this issue and found a fix? Thanks.

"In Adobe Illustrator's Image Trace panel, there is a preset called 3 Colors. My question is, when we trace an image using this preset, which three colors will be used for the tracing? Are the colors based on the dominant pixels in the image, or is there another method of selection? Please provide guidance on this query."

When I choose the Type Box tool, and click in the document to create a Type Box or simply place text, as soon as the box is created, it fills with X's/squares and goes off on it's own continually typing the X/square. I've tried changing font, but it always defaults back to Myriad pro as it's typing. Tried fiddling with some preferences, tried shutting the program and restarting - not sure what to do. Please help! 

Hello, I am trying to print a large image in segments, so I have selected "Do Not Scale." The preview window on shows only a portion of what should be visible (picture below).  I have tried this on two different printers, and also as a pdf: always the same thing. If I try to print it as "Fit to Page" the entire image is visible. I haven't yet figured out a way to pirnt that way and manually scale it up, or I would... 

I give up-it was once easy in Illustrator to compose lines of type such that they could be centered along a vertical centerline. How do I do that now? 

Assim que abro o Illustrator CC ele fecha sozinho, o que pode ser?

I have a few inquiries regarding the Image Trace panel in Adobe Illustrator:1. How does the **Paths** function work within the Image Trace panel? I understand that lower values result in looser path fitting, while higher values create tighter path fitting. However, I would like to gain a deeper understanding of what path fitting truly entails and how it functions. Please provide an explanation with an example.2. Could you explain the **Noise** feature in the Image Trace panel? I would appreciate a detailed explanation along with an example of how this feature operates.3. How does the **Stroke** feature work in the Image Trace panel? Please elaborate on its function with a practical example.4. In the **Presets** section, when selecting the "3 Colors" preset, which specific three colors are used for tracing?

Hi everyone, I’ve just created a design for my website pragma123* using Adobe Illustrator, and I’d love some feedback. The design incorporates both vector graphics and text elements, and I’m particularly concerned about how it will scale across different screen sizes. What’s the best way to ensure my Illustrator design maintains high quality and responsiveness when exported for web use? Any tips on optimizing it for both desktop and mobile would be greatly appreciated!"

See attached. Our engineers want the six triangles (3 down, 3 across) to follow the bend of the overall product, like the small circles do. I've tried skewing, envelope warping (art and top object--a duplicate of the grey product), and puppet warp, but even though I used Pathfinder to Unite first, I can't seem to find a way to make the entire object follow the curve WITHOUT distorting the individual triangles themselves. Any ideas? I thought their original request was to replace EACH small circle with a small triangle and said sure--now I find they want these six big triangles instead...

Hi , I encountered a strange issue and would like your help.I designed a text in Illustrator and then rotated it by 90°. I exported it as a PSD file. When I open it in Photoshop, the style appearscorrectly, but the rotation angle is missing.I used code to extract the JSON data from the PSD, and the transform for the text is {"xx": 4.166666666666667, "xy": 0.0, "yx": 0.0, "yy": 4.166666666666667, "tx": -32781.50000000001, "ty": -34487.0}, which also does not include the rotation angle. I am not sure if this is a bug.Could you please explain what data Photoshop uses to determine that the text is rotated by 90° and how it correctly displays it?Open In Photoshop:I wrote code to display this text. but it is wrong, because I can't extract an angle.

I am trying to export a pattern to Spoonflower.  I can save as a 150 DPI as they request, in the size they want 4050 px by 2700 px.  However, once I save as/export selection/export as the DPI will either remain 150 but the px size jumps to 8000 by 5000 and no longer fits the fabric OR it stays properly sized but the DPI drops to 72.  I cannot get both to happen when I save although the pattern was created at 150 DPI and 4050 px by 2700 px.  WTF?

I searched the web but did not finding the solution. I make a text box & want to dynamically hold texts within it. It uses a fixed font size of 50 but if there are more texts then font size will be reduced to fit all texts within the textbox. Any solution will be highly appreciated
