How to disable recovery mode on illustrator without opening the program. My illustrator doesn't launch due to ram issue trying to recovery files

Hi all. I have been struggling the last few times to export my pdf's from Illustrator to an email size. I need my files to be below 10 MB and it's just not exporting to that size. I have ensured the following is done:1.  Outlines of text is created2. Rasterized my images. I even rasterized the whole document down to 72 ppi. 3. Ensure all my images are linked and not embedded.4. The document is compressed to 72 ppi when saved to PDF. 5. I even changed my document preferences to 72 ppi.  One day it is easy, the next day it's a struggle. What am I doing wrong? 

Update to the latest version download illustrator stops at 88%. Any suggestions how to fix this?

I made a few templates for logos, there is a text that changes and ther are a lot of logos to be made. So I hired a freelancer, but when she returns the logo's, the SVG preview is smaller the ones I made. When openend in Illustrator there seems to be no problem, but for Office apps you can see the differences when placed in for example a Word document.

So I'm setting up artwork for t-shirt separations. I have to use absolute CMYK values to print the separartions accurately, i.e. 100% Black, 50% Yellow, 25% Cyan to match the halftones and color combinations I need to make out spot ink colors.The issue I'm having is converting an object to my CMYK tones. It is a complex object, made with several layers and a gradient mesh. I set one color to 100% Cyan, and it changes to 69% Cyan and 14% Yellow the next time I check it. From 100%Magenta and 100% Black, it goes to 57, 75, 68, 82.I am using the "Recolor Artwork" tool.I have changed my Document Set Up to CMYK and have tried copying it into a completely new document already set to CMYK. Typing in the values or selecting them from the swatches has no effect.

Hi There,I'm on one of my 3 artboards—in Mac OS—and when I do a simple select > Cmd+C > C+P , the thing pastes into every artboard.Can anyone tell me how I can stop this happening?Thanks folks,John

I want to thread these text frames, so that I can select them all together, since Illustrator does not allow you to select more than one text inside a single frame at a time, but every time I select it all the thread text option is grayed out. Here is the text in question:Thank you for the help

I've tried doing it from a saved swatch but it does not give me the library option in the swatch panel when I highlight that swatch. thx

It's exactly as the subject says. 90% of the swatches in my CC library have this same behavior. I want to edit the swatch in my CC library, so I double click on it in the Libraries panel. No color well pop up opens, but when I look at my Colors panel, there's a brand new magenta swatch.If I double click the swatch again, same thing happens. Anybody else noticing this behavior? It's one more straw breaking this camel's back.

When I created the artboard I created it as 4000x4000 px and 300 dpi but now that i am exporting, it either exports as 1667x1667 and 300 dpi or 4000 px and 72 dpi.... 1. How do I export this in the right size?2. also my client would like it to be a smaller file size but still 4000 px and 3000 dpi. how do I make the file size smaller without changing these settings?

Illustrator is marked as uncompatible with Windows 11 23Р22. How to fix? 

My illustrator auto updated and is just saying there is an error when I try to open my DXF files.  I need this resolved for work.  Any help is appreciated.Thanks!

I can only use the Width Tool *once*, then it locks itself out from any further use on the same line. There's no brush stroke applied to any line other than basic stroke. I can adjust it exactly once, then donezo. I've tried on several dozen objects. I haven't changed any preferences. I've restarted. Force closed. Reinstalled. Nothing. The tool is de facto useless 

Using Illustrator:  21.0.0Note that Asset Export feature ignores clipping masks. Here is an image clearly demonstrating the issue:

I use the same image file for a book cover, made in Illustrator, and in the book interior, made in Indesign. They look the same in the Illustrator and Indesign files. However, producing a pdf from either results in a much darker image in the Illustrator pdf. The image is greyscale. What could be the cause of this?

over the last few days when i open a black and white tiff file in illustrator i see vertical lines, how can this be corrected??? 

I have this weird grey outline around all my 3D shapes. I have turned stroke off for all these objects, and I have turned ray tracing on with quality set to high, I also turned off Anti-alised network in preferences since I read that could be a potential cause, but the outline is still there.  All I did was create a shape like for example using the rectangle tool, then click it and press effect -> 3D and materials and then I have some shapes that use extrude, and another which uses revolve and they all have the outline.   

In the png output I get with "export as" in illustrator, I can never export out the size of the artboard, I always get 4 times the size. how can I solve this.

My DTF machine accepts only tiff images. I have staffs name in illustrator. DTF demands to create on channels of the file-one for varnish and another for printing white. So when I keep two spot colours of the file and select over print then export to tiff, i am not getting spot colours as extra chanels. I am getting only CMYK. how to save, so that I get spot colours as extra chanels in tiff format
