COnstantly having problem with text display in Illustrator Beta version on Microsoft laptop with Copilot.Text appears laying down what converred to curves - Does not matter which font used. I can't run normal Illustrator on Copilot Laptop - absolutely shocked by it as I just upgraded my laptop  

I've been using the latest version of Illustrator for a full day now on files that were completely wrecked by the font-substitution bug in any version from 29.5 onward. There have been no major issues, and I've been able to process files normally with no crashes. Hopefully, I'm not jinxing anything by saying that Illustrator seems to be back to normal, at least for the time being.

Hello, I had a set of stencils that are for custom baffles. (I no longer have access to them)  I scanned the stencils using a large format scanner and then vectored them in illustrator and exported them in DXF with the idea that it would be simple for a machine shop to use it to cut the sheet metal with a CNC.  I have had 2 different shops tell me they can't use the files as is, as there are no dimensions.  I've downloaded a trial of Hotdoor CADtools to include the dimensions, but I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to this stuff and it's honestly too expansive of a subject for me to try and learn in a short time frame for this one project.  Can someone please tell me what I need to do so they can be cut on a CNC?  Or at least recommend a specific tutorial? Would it be easier to do using the original PDF scan or from the vector files I've already created? ThanksThanks

Since the latest update, the way artboard numbers are displayed in documents with many pages has changed — and unfortunately, it's now much worse. The numbers are no longer clearly visible, they overlap with previous pages, and it's hard to tell which page is which. Please revert this to the previous behavior, where the numbering was clear and easy to read.

Any way to resize for different object layouts and canvas sizes. Also create differnt file types with the selected object.  Also another way to upload fonts- as inspiration for the retype tool to generate Rithika Repakula- Max 2025

Bonjour à tous, Je rencontre depuis près d’un an un problème qui s’est nettement aggravé ces dernières semaines.À chaque fois que j’ouvre un logiciel Adobe (Illustrator, Photoshop, After Effects, etc.), un grésillement aigu se fait entendre depuis l’intérieur de mon MacBook Pro M4 Max — et non des haut-parleurs. Le bruit apparaît dès le lancement de l’application et s’intensifie lorsque je déplace des curseurs ou interagis avec l’interface. Travaillant souvent dans des environnements calmes, ce son est devenu particulièrement insupportable. J’ai déjà fait vérifier la machine à l’Apple Store : aucun défaut matériel détecté. Le technicien m’a confirmé que le bruit semblait venir de composants internes, possiblement liés à la charge graphique ou énergétique. Le phénomène se produit sur tous les logiciels Adobe sans exception.Je voulais savoir si d’autres utilisateurs rencontraient le même problème, ou si une solution ou un contournement a pu être trouvé de votre côté.&

I'm looking for a script that would allow me to Reorder illustrator artboard with there position.i have 300 files each file with 80 artboards.the order of these 80 artboards in the Artboard window like this [1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12-13.....]but in the Drawing area, their position is like this [1-2-8-4-12-77-25-14-3-5-80-34......] So I want to be in the same order of the artboards compared to their position  

Hi everyone,I’m developing an extension for Adobe Illustrator that should execute a local .exe file on Windows, passing a few folder paths as arguments.What I currently do manually in the Windows command prompt (cmd) is:programname.exe "C:\FolderA\..." "C:\FolderB\..."where:the executable name is fixed,both folder paths (A and B) are predefined and always related to the currently opened Illustrator file.I’d like to automate this inside an extension panel — so that with a single click, the panel retrieves the correct paths and launches the .exe with those arguments.I know that with CEP extensions (with Node.js enabled) it used to be possible to call external programs using child_process.exec().However, it seems that Illustrator 2025 no longer supports CEP, and UXP extensions are sandboxed and can’t execute external processes.Could someone please confirm:Is there any current way to run a .exe file from an Illustrator 2025 extension (CEP or UXP)?If not, does Adobe plan to provide any offi

I need help recreating the abstract ciclre background patter, Client wants it exactly the same... any ideas on how I can go about recreating it?

I have an unusual one here. I'm trying to reproduce something like the image below for laser engraving. What I want is to have separate objects (or images) for each colour, but with the overlapping sections removed. This is so that when I engrave the red starburst, it will only engrave the red bits where it's not overlapped by the yellow, or green or whatever. This is so I can then use coloured powders to melt into it and get a multi-coloured effect. Is this possible in illustrator? I assume it must be, but I'm not sure how! ThanksChris

Is there a way a way to add Graphic Styles from Illustrator into an Adobe CC Library to share across a team? And if not, it would be great to have this functionality!

When Illustrator has been open for a long time, sometimes, when I try to open a new blank file, it just doesn't do anything. I have to close out of Illustrator and reboot. Sometimes I have to reset preferences and I lose my configurations.  Carly Sertic

We're missing something in the Object-Transform-Move panel, and I don't know if it would be difficult to add it. This option has been available in Corel Draw since very early versions, but Illustrator consistently misses it. You can see the sample panel attached. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Some of our users are getting the following error message while trying to update artworks on their MAC with Adobe Illustrator 2025 Version 29.8.2 (64-bit)They have it very often they said. Whenever they then restart the AI and log in again then it will work for a time being but then happens again.Does someone maybe know the error message and can tell us how we can solve it?  Thank you very much in advance.Best regards,Dunja

When exporting for screens, it adds an extra pixel!!!!!

I have updated to 28.6 yesterday and, ever since, whenever Illustrator is running, the screensaver is not being allowed to follow the System Settings set in macOS Sonoma 14.5 (M3 Max).How do I know it is Illustrator?1. it persists through log out and macOS restart2. through trial and error, I excluded all other apps and it is the only one doing this. I do not recall this happening on 28.5, and I will likely uninstall this version and revert to the older one if this persists. Thank you

I will start by saying I clasify myself as a pro illustrator, I've weathered all the changes since illustrator took over Aldus Freehand, so please don't offer simple fixes for this problem. It is clearly a 2025 issue, I am suggesting serious workflow bug to a primary tool, moving vector lines.  Currently a wireframe key line keep popping away from the placed shape preview, often switching back sometimes switching further out. Absolutely no reason, glitchy? and No, there is NO STYLE affecting the preview attached, and no snapping to grid, point, no snapping period. Please tell me there is a fix on the way? I can't use this as a tool when it creates misaligned artwork. Again, as a long term user, this is more than disappointing. Subscription costs have doubled in the past 12 months and the amount of software defects seems to have risen with it, dropping productivity of the tools. Adobe please respond? with thanks,

I love the curvature tool but would like to have the option of NOT adding an anchor point when I use it to curve a line segment - much like the Anchor Point tool. I try to minimize my anchor points, but also LOVE,LOVE, LOVE the curvature tool 

Since Illustrator this bug exists.Negative Values are not allowed in Stacked columns!I think it is a half an hour work for a programmer ...but it costs me hours - to fix that per hand!!! Thank you very much!

I am having major issues with my CC libraries with every Adobe app on my computer. Basically, I can see the libraries and assets, but when I click to edit or place them, nothing happens. I've tried everything listed on this link, including clearing the cache, checking the host file, uninstalling all programs, using the cleaner tool and reinstalling.https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/apps/troubleshoot/library-and-file-management-issues/error-access-library-panel.html Randomly I will get the error that the file doesn't exist, or is in use by another user. However, mostly I get no errors at all. Just no results or usability. One workaround I've found is to view my assets on the website, then transfer them to a new Library. However this is slow as it doesn't appear to work on a large number items at a time. Not every command works to move or copy the assets. Unfortunately, I have dozens of very large libraries based on ongoing projects I've managed for several years. It's imp

On the right corner I get from time to time popup ad about generative AI.If it is impossible to turn off  then it is terrible thing and must be adressed right away. Year from now if no push back we might get who knows what kind of popups more often. Also it is not showing properly on 4k monitor and half of it is outside of screen. It is not free software.

Hi, I'm having an issue with an Illustrator file, all the things in the file are in color but when I close the file and click on it to see a preview through Finder (i'm using Mac) the file appears in black and white. And when i open it in illustrator all the color is back, does anyone know how to fix this? The left is how it looks in illustrator and the right picture is how it looks in finder.       {Renamed by MOD}

Subject says it all. I use symbols OFTEN for tech pack creation.  When moving these symbols, all the elements break apart.  I have been using a 1+ year old version of Illustator that seems to be OK, but that version is no longer available to download in the CC options.  Please focus less on Ai, and fix these core bugs in your expensive software.
