Questions

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

I am saving these files to a folder called "Exports" at the destination shown. But every time I go back to save again, Illustrator changes the path back to the parent folder (where the AI file itself is saved). Illustrator 28.5macOS 14.5  

I've spent a while creating my product labels, and the main font is Bebas Neue Regular. All of the labels are saved as an AI file and i print directly from AI. But a couple of days back that particular font is missing from every document? Its in the thumb nail, and if i open the doc in PS it prints ok. Theres not even palce holders or a substitute font in AI If i check the fonts, it shows up but it is blank on the right where it has the favourite star etc. Checking in the fonts file in windows, it is still installed. Ive tried to restart AI. I've reinstalled AI, but no change. Im on a pc using Window 10, and AI is on CC Thank you

Hi all! I'm going crazy here, my Illustrator keeps on glitching, tools not working and I don't know how to solve. I already quit the app so many times, close all other programs while using it, restart the mac, uninstalled and downoalded the program but the same keeps happening. The cloud storage is 1% full so i really have no idea of what can be happening.

I am the IT guy posting on Kims behalf - we are using 3 windows PC's that was built for 3 seperate graphic designers. All of the PCs are the same. All 3 of the PCs have the same exact issue. No other adobe app in the entire suite (they use a TON of adobe programs) has this issue. I have performed all of the expected troubleshooting that Adobe gives - plus another 10 lbs from what the internet tells me. Nothing has budged it. The only common factor between these 3 people other than that their PCs are the same, is that they are all not using an admin account within our domain. They are just standard user accounts. So, since they are user accounts, now we know they dont have FULL ACCESS to the hard drive/SSD/OS Drive. Nor any drive. For safety reasons, and for preventative issue reasons as well. Not that this stands in the way of anything, because every other Adobe app opens up. I don't mean to make that seem serious either - they literally are 1 step under full access. They just don't ha

Hi Guys,  I have downloaded a vector file to edit however, it is super slow to make changes in AI then when i deselect the vector after making the edits it comes up with this (image attached) how do i fix this issue? i have optimised the computer, reset the modem, tried to download and open the file in AI to disconnect it from the internet. not sure where im going wrong

Desde hace algunos días, al guardar los cambios que voy haciendo en el archivo que estoy trabajando (Illustrator CC), me aparece la alerta:"Este archivo se modificado fuera de Illustrator. ¿Desea continuar?"No he configurado ningún respaldo, ni la carpeta está sincronizada con algún servicio en la nube (Creative Cloud, Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.).¿Alguien tiene idea de por qué sale esta alerta, y como puedo evitar que continúe apareciendo?Gracias!

I know I have asked this before, but I don't know where the original post went. I would like a color that, when placed on an object over the top of any other object in that layer, will make all other items or objects below it transparent, creating a knockout effect. It’s essentially a knockout group or knockout color, but it's actually just a color swatch that forcibly knocks out and makes transparent any object or item underneath it in a layer. The reason I’m asking is that when I flatten and expand appearances, it removes my knockout, and then it's forgotten because it either matches a similar color or gets skipped entirely due to being an invisible layer. It just removes it during the expand process. Either we need to fix the expand so that it recognizes a knockout and properly removes it from the items, or we need to have it as a custom color so that when I expand, the color is revealed, allowing me to knock out the elements before I finish expanding. I’m trying to do this process

I need to add the accent on various names.Also the cedille on the "c"  in FrancoisThere's got to be an easy way using such an amazing program like Ai... Thanks in advance!

I imported an image from photoshop and did an image trace on it to work with it in Illustrator.  I combined all the results in a group and was messing around with different effects.  Eventually, I wound up in the appearance attributes panel playing around with SVG Filters.  I had the preview box ticked so I could see the effect swapping various effects and filters had but the selection lines outlining each of the different components of the group were so tightly packed, you can't see the underlying image.  Does anyone know of a way to hide the selection lines?  It's not the end of the world but does defeat the purpose of the preview option and it's just a little easier to flip between different effects on the attributes panel than the dropdown menu and then selecting the effect and then undoing it.   Thanks!

Hello.I wonder if an array tool for Illustrator could be implemented the way it works in the CAD program Rhino 7. I am switching back and forth between both programs to create the outcome I was looking for.Most importantly, the array along spline would be so helpful. It works similar to the Type on the Path tool - just with shapes instead of type. Yes, one could create a brush and let it follow the path, but with the Rhino tool one could specify where midpoint/endpoint is, how many instances, orientaion etc. One could add an offset from the path too. It would be a nice addition to the Object -> Repeat -> radial/grid/mirror tools.

Hi there, I'm a pattern designer (in the wallpaper industry) and when I have a pattern swatch in Illustrator, I'd like to apply it to a blank wall in a photograph to create a realistic mockup that shows it at the proper true scale. This easily shows potential buyers what the pattern swatch sample would look like on the wall, if they were to buy it. How can I make this happen and have it appear true to size? Are there AI generators for wallpaper/pattern illustrations? I know some people use AI to create a pattern itself, but whether it's created manually in Illustrator - or by AI, I'm curious about showing it in mockup format. Thanks for any help!

Is there a way to permanantly save the center of an object in Illustrator? Right now I can select an object, click the rotation tool, Alt-Click to move the center point to make the dialogue box appear, press OK, and the object rotates around the point I've set as expected (this also works without Alt-Click but a lot of troubleshoot threads point to its significance). However when I deselect the object and do other stuff in my document then I click back to the object I set a custom center for and use the rotate tool the object center resets back to default center. If this isn't a current feature it would be super handy to have!

Hello. Does anyone know if there's a way to get/return a text frame's angle of rotation? I've searched through the CS4 AppleScript documentation and the closest I found was a text frame's "matrix" property which seems to be used to rotate an object but not return an object's current angle of rotation. (There is a character rotation property but this seems to return the rotation of each character in the text frame, not the text frame as a whole.) Ben

I mainly use Illustrator for layouts, so it is so incredibily frustrating to not be able to figure out how to make this path (forgive me if the term is wrong), from overlapping circles and lines (how I would do it with pencil and paper). I want the exact curvature I need for this repeating radial pattern. In the image I'm posting, I am showing 2 of the shapes that I would be using in a radial repeat.  

buen dia, no me esta funcionando illustrator algunas funciones estan bloqueadas, como la barra de menúy no me deja cambiar la mesa de trabajo esta es la version actualizada 28.6
