Hello, I made a design in Illustrator in cmyk mode, with pantone spot colours. But when I save it as pdf. the colours appear different. I viewed them both in files and in Acrobat and in Illustrator and in each software the colours seem different. Also the difference is noticeable when I view it on my phone vs pc vs iPad. How do I know what the colours will look like when printed (the design is for printing on cookware). I selected Press Quality and 'Do not Downsample' and 'Convert to Destination' and 'Include Destination Profiles'.

I read in the Adobe Illustrator reference guide that when you drag an item between two other items in the layers panel, black insertion marks appear between them or on the left or right edges of a layer or group. I have two questions regarding this:1. What exactly are insertion marks in Layers panel in Adobe Illustrator?2. When I tried this, a dotted icon appeared when I dragged an item between layers. Is this the insertion mark? Additionally, when I dragged an item onto a layer or group, nothing appeared on the right or left edge. Could you clarify this behavior?I have attached 2 screenshots for referance.

Hello everyone, I'm not sure if this is an intended effect of the filter and I apologize if it is. When I make a shape/object with color, it will desaturate the color to an obsurd degree. I have tried to saturate it with a the saturate feature in the edit field. I have also have tried to manually change the color but it would still be the incorrect color I was looking for. It does not look the same, so I am up for any other work-arounds or fixes.Thank you for any suggestions!

Hey there,  I have been working on a presentation on illustrator over the last week and didn't have any issues till today - none of my changes are saving and everytime I try to do one small thing like save the file as a new file or export it, illustrator becomes unresponsive and I have to force quit. I have unistalled the app, created more space on my laptop.  I have no idea what to do and this is extremely frustrating as this is the only time this has happened to me.

Hola quisera saber como puedo exportar mis trabajos a CorelDraw

Hi, I'm trying to create a gradient across two lines of text that has been Warped. I can add a gradient fill but it just adds the Gradient Fill to each character individually (bottom example) and I want it to be across the whole word. I can normally do this by creating a Compound Path but because the text has been Warped, this is preventing me from doing that. Any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks.

J'ai redemarré à plusieurs reprises illustrator et même décoché tous les autres outils de la rubrique "Affichage" dans le cas où cela interférerait avec l'outil "Repères commentés" mais çela ne change rien.Quelqu'un aurait-il une idée? Merci par avance.

Hi there Adobe community,Would anyone be able to advise me on this issue please? Everytime I export from Illustrator as a PDF the colour comes out slightly muted, when I export as a PNG the issue is not there. I've included pictures below of the colours before and after. (export on left, original on right.) I've tried to change my colour profile and export again, but this hasn't resolved my issue. I've changed my PDF Output settings as well, again did not resolve my issue. Could it be an issue with the preview app? But the Illustrator PDF should have the CMYK embedded inside?? I'm very confused )c: Would appreciate any help with this at all!!!

Hi when I am rendering in 3d with raytracing on high my application keeps crashing. I don't know what the problem is as I have a pretty good pc and I have rendered on Illustrator using ray tracing before. I suspect that it has something to do with my gpu not being used when I render. For some reason, task manager only shows my cpu on 100% while my gpu is on 0% during ray tracing render. Can someone please help? My computer wasn't always like this.

Hello! I'm designing some graphics for a range of T shirts for my portfolio. I might screen print them down the line, so tips on how to make them more screen-printing friendly would be useful but not super neccessary at this stage; currently, I'm just looking for advice on how to make them "pop" as, to me, they feel a little flat and lifeless (pardon the pun). As the theme of the shirts is joi de vivre, 70s hedonism and a lust for life, how can I incorporate this into the design? I'm happy with the drawings themselves, but things like reccomendations for new brushes and packs, shading, effects etc are what I need help with. Happy to clarify if this all sounds a bit vague! P.S It's my first time posting here, so please let me know if it needs to be on a different board 🙂

Hi, I'm trying to do something I've done before with no issues but now I can't seem to get the Pathfinder Crop and Merge functions to work and am out of ideas about how to proceeed so any help would be greatly appreciated... First, I have a vector that I would like to crop and I'm selecting it and a rectangle I've made and put in the layer above it to crop it. Strangely, when I use the Pathfinder Crop function to crop the vector it does nothing, but when I move the rectangle or adjust its height then try cropping it, it works. Here's a screenshot of the vector and rectangle above it selected...  Second, I'm trying to merge two vectors and usually I select both and click Merge and that's it but, again, when I select both and try to merge them nothing happens. Here's a screenshot of both vectors with the second one selected... I've tried putting them on separate layers then merging them; I've tried uniting them; and I've tried copying and pasting them into a new

I want to get the items in a layer sorted in their stacking order (including any sub-layers). For example: Layer 1   item A   Layer 1a   Group B   item CIn the example above, I would get back an array like this:[item A, layer 1a, Group B, item C] Of course, you'd think this is a simple enough thing given that zOrderPosition is freely available: function getChildrenInStackingOrder(layer){    var sublayers=layer.layers;    var pageItems=layer.pageItems;    var result=new Array ();    var size=sublayers.length+pageItems.length;    for(var i=0;i<sublayers.length;i++){       result[sublayers.zOrderPosition]=sublayers;  <<<----------- ERROR    }    for(var i=0;i<pageItems.length;i++){       result[pageItems.zOrderPosition]=pageItems;    }
