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! 

I need install plugin Aid-cut Label. It support illustrator 28, but i can download oldest 29. Any solution?

My illustrator won't open a cloud file and I can't download it. The message comes up saying this cloud document contains objects that are not compatible with the current illustrator version. Does anyone know how to access this type of document ?File link: https://illustrator.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:sc:AP:e4a2ffbb-0acf-5709-b5c7-cd98a7905aad

This is a new issue for me. I cannot open individual swatch options in the Swatches window by double clicking as I usually can. I can edit the color of a single object or create new swatches, but I can't edit existing ones. This includes both user-generated and default. If I can open individual swatch options, it does not apply any changes to objects with that swatch applied. Basically, the only way I can edit the color of objects is by creating new swatches or changing the individual objects' colors every time. See video below for example. 

  the scissor tool... not sure why I am getting these left over bits.Just going from one end to the other end.Cheers Nate

Bonsoir, il me semble qu'il y a un problème dans les dernières versions Illustrator au niveau de la suppression des styles de paragraphe et de caractère. Ils réapparaissent tout le temps. J'ai une version un peu plus ancienne sur mon MacBook, la 29. 1, et là la suppression fonctionne. Merci de vos nouvelles et bonne année à toutes et tous. Frédéric 

Bonjour ! Je souahite animer un objet 3d que j'ai créer sur illustrator avec l'effet 3d classique. J'ai vu sur une autre page que je devais pour cela l'exporter au format GLTF afin de pouvoir l'animer sur after effect. Cependant je n'arrive pas à exporter mon objet dans ce format. Est-il possible de contourner ce problème ?Merci Bien cordialement

メロンクリームソーダのイラストでこのような水彩画封を作成したいです。特に液体の部分（さくらんぼもですが） のグラデーションの作り方があまりよくわかっていません。 このようなグラデーションを何層にも重ねたものはフリーグラデーションで作成すべきでしょうかまた、液体部分の緑色は各色ごとにレイヤーを作りグラスの形に合わせてそれぞれクリッピングマスクで作成したら良いでしょうか？また、photoshopでできるように液体それぞれの上下境界線を曲線（ペンツール）でグネグネと自由変形させるのが良いでしょうか？ 最後に、画像にある通りの水彩画風の効果を出すにはテクスチャなどの効果をどのようにしたら良いでしょうか   

Proposal: Improving the Font Browser in Adobe IllustratorCurrent Issues:Significant difficulty browsing a large number of fonts due to the list-only view.Lack of dynamic, interactive preview directly within the workspace.Existing search and classification tools are limited and lack smart filtering (e.g., by language, style, or usage).Proposed Solutions:Advanced Font FilteringClassify fonts by language (Arabic, Latin, etc.).Filter by style (Serif, Sans Serif, Script, Handwriting).Filter by usage (branding, long text, headlines) Folder-Based Font BrowsingIntroduce folder view as the primary browsing option, similar to panels (patterns, shapes) in Photoshop.Allow creation of custom folders, moving fonts between them, and renaming folders. Flexible Favorites ManagementMake favorites folder-based instead of a flat list.Support organizing favorite fonts into different groups depending on project or usage.Benefits for Users:Faster workflow and reduced time wasted testing fonts one b

Illustrator 30.1.When I move an object with a gradient in blend mode, the gradient seems to stay in place while I move it, and only applies after I release the cursor. As you can see from the screenshots, I am not moving the gradient, but rather moving the object itself. This is very annoying; I've never had this happen before. I'm very disappointed that I updated to the new version.Is there any solution?

This bug has been around for years, it got much worse the last 12 months. The problem is Illustrator cannot detects and uses a specific GPU like other GPU accelerated programs do, Blender for example.  My setup is a Dell Precision 5690 (Ultra 7 16H and RTX ADA 3500 12GB VRAM) connected to a Dell Thunderbolt docking station. So in addition to dedicated GPU, both CPU and docking station have built-in GPU. Illustrator seems to be using whichever it detects first and ignore the rest. In my case, it would be the one from Dell dockting station which has zero VRAM.  Adobe, please fix this already!!
