Hello,I am using a script to export artboards from al multi-artboard file to single artboard files with the following code. Unfortunately I have issues with the way Illustrator names them. I use "/.ai" as the Filename because I only need the Artboardnames as the filenames. But Illustrator alwas uses this naming method "filename_artboardname.ai" so my files always start with "_" e.g.: "_artboard1.ai". Is there a way to prevent the "_" or maybe another way to save the Artboards?Thanks in advance!   function exportFiles(){ var expOptions = new IllustratorSaveOptions(); var destFile = new File(doc.path + "/.ai") expOptions.flattenOutput = OutputFlattening.PRESERVEAPPEARANCE; expOptions.saveMultipleArtboards = true; expOptions.artboardRange = "1"; doc.saveAs(destFile, expOptions); expOptions.artboardRange = "2"; doc.saveAs(destFile, expOptions); doc.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES) } 

Need to vent here. Adobe doesn't listen to customer regquests when you submit them anywhere. I've looked through posts like this on here:https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/workflows-that-need-large-canvas-artboard/m-p/8996967#M48247It's extremely frustrating to work in either Illustrator or InDesign to create large format files for things like billboards or exhibit walls. Illustrator added a "large document" feature a few years ago, but it really doesn't matter. Once you start working on a large file adding text and a couple large images, Illustrator slows to a crawl. Not to mention the opening and saving (especially saving) of files is REALLY slow. Additionally, even if you are using linked images, Illustrator's file size is unbelievable huge. I created the exact same document in both Illustrator and InDesign (I'll get to ID in a minute). The file was for a 40 foot wide by 10 foot high exhibit wall, that the printer instructed me to create at half size. The ID

I'm having a problem with the points on a shape not showing up or selecting. Hence, I can't edit it. The black arrow will select the object and when I use the white arrow for direct selection tool it doesn't seem to select it, although I can move the shape around.  Is the problem in my computer?  I was having trouble clicking on email links, but I have the same trouble when I changed the mouse.  I'm on a mac OS using Catalina and Illustrator 27.9.4. Ideas? 

When saving to our usual server in AI 2020 I keep getting this error message for no obvious reason. I work on a file and when I choose Save after a long attempt to save I get this error box: "The specified network location is unavailable. Check your network connection and/or save your file to a different location." I have to then save to my desktop. On the server I can't overwrite the file or delete it, so have to move the previous file and it's matching .tmp file into another new folder, copy my file from the desktop, and I can then delete the folder and it's contents. This is yet another joke release from Adobe, what with Photoshop making a 'Photoshop' empty folder on our servers too, and numerous InDesign problems as well.   (Renamed By MOD)

Hey y'all!I'm looking to create a process that utilize external methods like Node.JS to monitor folders and execute scripts in Illustrator. Below was my first test and I ran into a roadblock almost instantly. Just using Python, I ran into the popup below. I tried to silence the popup using 'app.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevel.DONTDISPLAYALERTS;' and that does not seem to be helping. Anyone have any ideas on how to bypass this window?Python: import subprocess subprocess.run(['C:\\Program Files\\Adobe\\Adobe Illustrator 2024\\Support Files\\Contents\\Windows\\Illustrator.exe', 'C:\\Program Files\\Adobe\\Adobe Illustrator 2024\\Presets\\en_US\\Scripts\\PythonTest.jsx']) Extendscript: app.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevel.DONTDISPLAYALERTS; alert('Hello world'); app.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevel.DISPLAYALERTS;  

How would I fill this text with color and wrap it around this Pic?   

Não consigo usar a pressão da caneta no Illustrator. Alguém que passou por isso, conseguiu resolver? Tentei já de todas as formas que ensinam na internet. Ativar dispositivos no Illustrator, desligar a tinta do windows, reinstalar/atualizar drivers. Enfim, que aburdo um recurso tão simples não funcionar. Na minha opinião é bug do software mesmo, pois funciona perfeitamente no Photoshop e outros.

Steps to reproduce: 1. Create a new empty document.2. Open the Layers tool window.3. Create several new empty layers, enough for the vertical scrollbar to appear.4. With the left mouse button, begin dragging the thumb of the scrollbar (the dark gray verticall pill).5. Illustrator stops responding indefinitely. This happens in Illustrator 28.5 running on macOS 14.5 

So I'm trying out the new 3D options in Illustrator (Tech. preview) and all I am getting is the error:"An error occurred while processing the appearance of an object"As you can see the object is just a rectangle.Is there something I'm not doing correctly? Dave

¡Hola! Es la primera vez que descargo Illustrator y, al abrirlo, me salta el error adjunto. Lógicamente busqué el código pero no me sirvió de nada. Intenté desactivar el antivirus, reiniciar la PC, ejecutar el programa como administrador y reinstalarlo. ¿Alguien sabe como arreglarlo? Desde ya, ¡Muchas gracias por la ayuda!

I am working on my first animation for website background. Now that I have dozens of layers and artboards I figured warnings for colors. I don't want to have to go through each of those to correct them, so is there a way to color correct for web all at once automatically? Some are also out of gamut, but I think this doesn't have to be a problem because none of the artwork is intended to be printed or converted to CMYK. Also the final format of the project is a 30s GIF of png's with transparent background moving on a white background. Since this would be rendered to a gif, would the colors still be a problem once they put it up on web? I am less than a year into Illustrator, and this is first time i noticed these warnings. I haven't corrected colors in my previous project, which was animated cartoon for children, which was way bigger project. The videos work just fine in H.264, MP4 on YouTube.

Bonjour, j'ai créé un tableau de 24 cases et j'aimerais que chaque ensemble de données se répercute sur mon tableau. Exemple: ma première case reprend l'ensemble de données 1, la deuxième reprend l'ensemble de données 2 etc... Est-ce que cela est possible ?

How to find start position of text in path text using javascript

Due to the large number of fonts purchased, the font menu will always be a little slow, sometimes some difficult to find fonts (do not remember font names can not be used to search for font names), so I hope to add new features to the font list.Similar folder classification, you can do detailed font classification yourself.But it also retains the ability to search for fonts.

Hola a todos, necesito saber que version de illustrator es compatible con macOS high sierra 10.13.6. 

Hi,I want to achieve effect like this: but when i tried to draw this i can only do it white:when I add fill then this happens:how to overcome this?

there isint much written about this onine but basically i have a transparent png of distressed tiger marks I made on procreate however the issue i am experiencing is that I cant vectorize this image since it has different opacitys because of the distressing. If i put it through image trace, the parts that have the distressed effects with just become light gray instead of a transparent black. can someone please guide me on how i can vectorize this graphic while still preserving its different transparencys (because i dont want to vectorize the solid stripes and edit the picture again with distressing tools that illustrator offers since i like the procreate ones better.)

The options to customise 3d textures seem to be gone in the most recent update for adobie Illustrator. Extremely problematic for ongoing jobs. Is this a fixable issue or part of a filthy ploy to get people to pay for another software package?

Something stange happening here. I'm working on a diagram in which I need to dimension three angles. I can get two to work but not the third. The other strange thing is that all three had worked previously but I needed to reset the line weight of the dimension line so I deleted the dimensions to redo. Now, one of them won't dimension.I'm using Illustrator 28.5 on MacOs 14.4.1.Any insight is much appreciated.

I would like it if illustrator had the ability to relink multiple files at the same time like Indesign does. I have a file setup with 30 linked pieces of art, if I wanted to relink all 30 with a new version, I would have to do one at a time. I mean I could select all, but I will still have to find the new version 30 times.  Indesign has a feature that groups links based on their file name and you can relink that group with another file, so its all done with one click. Is there another way of doing this, without tricking Illustrator into thinking its missing the link, because thats the only time it allows you to "Apply to all missing links"

For the life of me I can't narrow AI's work panels. Its like its frozen. I'm working in Essentials Workspace. I will attach a screenshot as the first set of panels is ridiculosly wide and the only option it allows is to collapse. I don't recall having this problem before... super annoying my entire window is being taken up by panel width. Thank you in advance!

Hi, I may be missing something really simple here, but I am struggling to find a way to perfectly left align all text (of different sizes) within one text box. Illustrator seems to align each line of text differently, depending on the size of the text I have chosen. While I kind of get that it is putting a small space left of the text within the text box that is proportional to the size of the text, I really want to be able to align them all perfectly. Ideally would be great to do this without having to 'create outlines'. Is this possible? Any help would be appreciated as I am getting pretty frustrated looking for an answer... Thanks! Here is a screen shot of what I mean:
