Is there any other place to download Illustrator CC SDK C++ versions 2014-2022?

All of a sudden I can't see to change the color or stroke design (dashed).  What have I done?

I am new to Illustrator and using version 2026. I am following a "Get started with Illustrator" tutorial which appears to have 10 modules.  The first one titled "Get to know Illustrator" explained where to get the sample files.  The second module "Draw precise and freeform shapes with full control", just jumps in on a document which wasn't included in the first modules download.  Can somone help me figure out where I can get the sample files for all 10 of the modules for this tutorial? Thank you

At the bottom of this escutcheon, I tried to join two paths.   They ended up overlapping each other.  How do I cut off those little pieces? (They are at the pointy end of the sheild) I tried a clipping mask, but that did not work.  Should I just go back and redraw it?  Of course I didn't notice it until I went to turn it into a pdf!

I want to have a perpendicular cut of black stroke of this portion in yellow color. I separated stroke & fill & used "Perpendicular Line Tool" of AG & native Pathfinder tool. But it did not work. How to fix this? File was uploaded as well.Perpendicular Cut 

Hi! How do I turn off this stupid button I don't want for a flop "feature" I'll never use? Thanks! 

I need to be able to send my vectorized .pdf file to clients.  I want them to be able to have a vectorized file (since the quality is so clear), but not be able to open the document in Adobe Illustrator and be able to see all my paths, layers, etc. Recently I opened another company's .pdf (that was emailed to me) in adobe illustrator to see if I could edit it, and noticed it was a Linked File. I am trying to save my own file as a Linked File, and it is not working.  When I reopen the document in Illustrator, my work is embedded, and once again my paths are able to be seen.         These are my steps:               1. File/Save As/.pdf /.everything unclicked/Save PDF                                  2. File/New Document/Create/File/Place/click on previously saved .pdf/check the 'Link' box/                 Place. As you can see, it is a Linked File                                   3. File/Save As/new.pdf/save/uncheck everything/Save PDF             4. Open the saved .pdf in Adobe and no

New Illustrator 30.0 now scales artwork when the artboard gets re-sized. I never gave Adobe permission to add this annoying feature. 🙂 How does one turn this off? So that I can resize artboards like the old days with it scaling my artwork.  

For quire some time this approach was working perfectly in our plugin: sAIFont->GetPostScriptFontName(fontKey, postScriptName, 1024); But recently in 29-30 version of Illustrastor it does not return anything when the fonts are missing. The font names are still returned correctly when the fonts are installed in the system. But if they are not, this returns an empty string and the result is an error. Other similar methods from AIFont are also not working correctly. I have also tested it in the recent Illustrator Beta, with the same result. Can someone explain what is happening and why this was somehow changed and how should it work now?

I have included a screenshot off my screen.  I can't reset and save the preferences.  I have completely shut illustrator down (and shutdown the computer).  I have checked my screen resolution and it is at the correct setting.  It just started happening...grrrr. 

Why Adobe Illustrator 2025 is not making or opening new files in adobe lllustrator would you help me today or tomorrow but not tuesday or wednesday Thanks Kevin

J'avais déjà quelques problèmes avec Illustrator, notamment l'affichage de l'erreur "fichier introuvable" que j'imputais à un OS que je n'avais pas réinstallé depuis un moment et seulement 20go d'espace disque. J'ai donc réinstallé un MacOS tout neuf et il me reste 600go d'espace libre. Et c'est maintenant pire que tout. Quand j'ouvre d'ancien fichiers qui ne posaient pas de problèmes je me retrouve maintenant avec le message suivant :quand j'essaie de sauvegarder un fichier vide j'ai le message : Il m'est donc impossible de sauvegarder mon travail ! Je suis bloqué avec un abonnement à 79€/mois qui devient complètement inutilisable. Que se passe-t-il ??? je ne pense pas que ma config soit à plaindre pourtant... Et je précise que j'ai la dernière version d'Illustrator. D'ailleurs ne pas avoir d'autre support qu'une aide en ligne indigestement immense et inutile ou forum me semble plus qu'insuffisant en 2026... Désolé mais je suis très mécontent et je ne vois pas ce qui me retient de cou

I know this probably sounds a little stupid, but how would someone with more experience choose to trace this spear head?  I tried the pen tool, to trace one side and then duplicated/reflected  it but it doesn't line up.  Then I tried the polygon tool, but trying to resize the triangle base changes everyting.  

Bonjour. Abonné à Creative Cloud Standard, j'ai installé les applications sur ma tablette. Il s'avère que seul Illustrator n'est pas reconnu avec mon abonnement sur ma tablette. Un message m'informe au lancement de l'application que mon abonnement a expiré (hors c'est faux !). Pouvez vous m'aider. Merci par avance. Cyril

Hi all, this is something I have seen popping up several times in Illustrator but never took the time write down:In my Recent tab in Illustrator I see far more from an image than is actually visible when opening the file. This happens with files I receive from others (customers) as well, so it sometimes looks like I can see artwork that was deleted later before they sent it to me.It even happens with JPG files: I see more in the preview then is in the actual JPG. Has anyone seen this behaviour as well?

A bit of a headscratcher. I made a simple edit to 4 files, changing a blending mode on a raster layer from screen to normal. All files ballooned up by about 100MB, from ~450MB to 550MB. Did something change with how raster files are stored in AI files? No settings have been altered by me, but files are inflating on their own.I did try to save without preview as a , and it reduced about 200-300MB, resaving with preview, brought it back up to an inflated size. Looking into a separate issue with PNGs/TIFs inflating when reducing their resolution. Curious if anyone has seen similar.

Hey. I have a cloud document saved on CC I've been using for about 9 months featuring multiple styles, artboards etc. I last opened the files 5 days ago but after updating to windows 11 Creative Cloud tells me the file is incompatible with the current version of adobe illustrator, I have tried openinng it with the 2025 version as well but no difference.I've tried the following fixres after reading community posts:Downloading the file.Copying the file.Renaming the file.Signing out and into adobe Creative Cloud.This file is the only backup I have of the document and I really need to access it for work purposes. I hope someone or hopefully an adobe agent can help recover a slightly older backup. Thank you. - Daniel

Do these still not have a shortcut for Pathfinder's Unite? Also does gradient on text still need to be applied by doing an excorcism on an extinct unicorn?   My suggestion is to make the "Unite" and other pathfinder commands smaller, like 4x4 pixels, so that we REALLY have to aim.   And for gradient in text, they should introduce a secondary subscription.

Hi,I am recreating a large floor plan. I thought this might be a great job of image trace since I had a very clean digital pdf of the floor plans and every thing is either black or a single shade of grey. All lines are mostly straight with a few exceptions for door icons. However I am getting terrible results. Most of the image disappears and there are no straight lines, only blobs. I've go through all the presets and tried many alteration with "Black and white logo"  "Technical drawing" "LIne art" and "Greyscale" however I keep getting terrible results. Im a bit confused because, although large, the image is pretty simple. I am using Illustrator 2024 and I attempted to place the image both as a pdf and a jpeg. Any Ideas?

안녕,파일을 열 때마다 "글꼴이 누락되었습니다"라는 경고 메시지가 계속 떠서 정말 미치겠어요. 이 문제는 주로 영어/일본어 글꼴에서 발생합니다 .Adobe Fonts 에서 확인해 보니 글꼴이 분명히 활성화 되어 있습니다 . 이상한 점은 다음과 같습니다.최초 설치/활성화 직후에는 정상적으로 작동합니다 .하지만 글꼴이 한 번이라도 경고를 발생시키면 , 그날 이후로 계속해서 글꼴 누락 경고가 표시됩니다. 다음과 같은 방법들을 모두 시도해 봤지만, 아무것도 해결되지 않았습니다.1. 글꼴을 삭제하고 다시 설치하세요.2. Creative Cloud(및 Adobe Fonts)를 비활성화/재활성화합니다.3. 맥북을 재부팅했습니다. → 하지만 경고 메시지가 매번 나타납니다. 환경맥북(macOS)Adobe 앱은 모두 최신 버전입니다.일러스트레이터뿐 아니라 포토샵 에서도 동일한 문제가 발생합니다 .

Hello! I'm trying to set the transparency grid to "Medium" when creating a new Illustrator document via ExtendScript, but I'm unable to get it working. According to the scripting documentation, the DocumentTransparencyGrid.TransparencyGridMedium constant exists, but I'm unsure of the correct property or method to use it with. What I've tried: var docPreset = new DocumentPreset(); docPreset.units = RulerUnits.Centimeters; docPreset.width = 368.504; // 13cm in points docPreset.height = 963.78; // 34cm in points docPreset.colorMode = DocumentColorSpace.CMYK; docPreset.transparencyGrid = DocumentTransparencyGrid.TransparencyGridMedium; var newDoc = app.documents.addDocument("Print", docPreset); I've also tried setting it directly on the document after creation: newDoc.transparencyGrid = DocumentTransparencyGrid.TransparencyGridMedium; Question: Is it possible to set the transparency grid color programmatically in ExtendScript, and if so, w

I live traced this rampant lion.  I now need to color in all the white areas with red. I tried to use a clipping image (red rectangle) but it said it was too complicated.  

Hi everyone,I run into a problem with illusrators envelope-distort effect. Using Envelope Distort → Make with Top Object to map a gradient/striped texture onto a wavy loop. At the two crossings, the overlap collapses into a sharp point, then expands again. Also, everything outside the loop outline is hard-clipped. In a tutorial (orange example), same loop shape shows broad, flared overlaps, and artwork appears visible beyond the selection during editing. My result (blue) doesn’t—overlaps pinch to a point and anything beyond the path is cut off. Please send help

Hi! I was trying to start a project in illustrator, but whatever I try it does not save or it takes a million years. I have tried redownloading, restarting a project. I have done everything. I even set my laptop back to factory settings. I have tried to work on it on another laptop and that does work, but on mine it is so slow and even if it does safe it takes way longer than normal. I have checked if I have enough storage and I do and for systemrequirements I even go way over.  Is there anyone who knows what to do or should I contact the sneller for warrants. Thanks in advance!
