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!!

I use this all the time as I create large adjoining walls for booths that have to match and for the elements i use, i need to increase the Pasteboard. Has this option been moved or renamed for some crazy reason?Crazily, I can load an old document that i have increased the pasteboard size, and I can use that, but we should not have to use workarounds for such a fundamental feature!

I downloaded this file from freepik. Hiding/Unhiding text does not work properly. What is the reason? file & video uploaded43411-O3PZF9     

Is it possible for fonts to display the list as a floating panel. And can we have1- Ability to select text in the artboard while the "Font Selector" panel is open.2- Show the preview of the fonts on the right side inside "Font Selector" panel.3- Ability to write the text inside "Font Selector" panel and display that text as a preview.4- Following #3, Ability to drag the desired font text from "Font Selector" panel to the Illustrator artboard

Would be a really great feature to keep layer structure, when grouping elements.At the moment everything grouped automatically collapses into one layer.The simplest way to explain it would be similar to having saved selection sets.The benefits for grouping across layers include:Managing different components/groups of design elements while retaining layer hierarchyKeeping grouped colours or thicknesses or object types separateBeing able to transform a selection without losing layer order, and without losing that selection later.Having visual layering and overlapping keep fidelityKeep elements apart for animation(after effects) but grouped for control in illustratorPlease consider adding this as it would be very useful.In my current workflow I group elements that have been sorted by layer, group to keep these together, make changes(size, position and artwork changes), then once all groups have been finalised, ungroup and sort into layers again. usually over complex artwork/designs/scenes

I am creating a 3d can artwork and the can is a deep black. I had the label with the black in the background, but then I lost the lighting effect so I took the background out since I created the 3d Can Black, but now my lighting has this jaggedness to it from the lighting. I have played with the softness, roughness of material, rendered with ray tracing, change the document raster render settings to 300 dpi. I just need it to be smooth like the can next to it (old design and we are updating) and I am just hitting a wall.

ILLUSTRATOR: Grouping Causes unpredicatable mask. Items become invisible Grouping 2 or more items seems to create a mask and some elements become invisible. It seems very random since it has been happening with simple object and more complex one alike. Grouping should just mean the items are selectable and positionable together, with not altering the appearance. Basic function for file management and productivity. This is happening since the last update Dec 2025 V30.1

The error preventing Illustrator from opening is: dvasystemcompatibilityreport.dll was not found. I have tried numerous methods, including using the Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool to completely remove everything and reinstalling from scratch, but I still cannot open the Illustrator application. Other applications like Photoshop, InDesign, and Premiere are still working normally. 

Why is the object on Path greyed out?Since update nothing works in Illustrator, very frustrating. MacBook Pro M1 Max / 64 GB / Tahoe 26.1Illustrator 30 

Hi everybody!A simple rectangle, filled with Effect / Texture / Grain / Horizontal. When rotating that rectangle by let’s say 20°, the mentioned effect seems to stay unrotated, so its orientation is no longer aligned with the orientation of the (now rotated) rectangle.What to do in order to rotate the mentioned effect according to its object?Thanks a lot!

I'm having issues with Abobe Illustrator (30.1) running on a Mac Studio M4 Max (48GB) , OS 26.2 (Tahoe). Having searched on google it appears this as been an issue for some time.When I expand a text box by dragging points or move a object by dragging. The text box or object jumps and this action also peforms an undo function. I.e you loose the last few steps.If i toggle off the GPU performance and Realtime drawing it resolves the issue but Illustrator is very laggy, not really usable. If I toggle these settings back on it's O.K. for 30mins then the problem returns. I know I only have 48Gb of ram but that should be ok surely, It seems to be an issue with the GPU. All my other software works like a dream so i don't think it's a hardware issue. Any ideas?

hello , old school designer here just getting into dye sub jersey designing looking for  helpful tips, thanks

I have a pdf I imported and it has an vector-graphic of a street sign. there are actually two images of these graphics sitting on top of each other. I bought Astute Graphics' Vector First Aid, which has a "remove duplicate art" function that works when I create the same situation from scratch, but it won't work for this file (I have reached out to Astute but have not heard back).There is something odd though. the graphic has had all clipping masks removed and has been ungrouped and nothing is locked together. However, if I click on one of the letters, it selects only that one letter, if I draw a box around that same letter (not click-select, but box-select) it will select almost all of the letters as though they are grouped. I doubled checked and that selection is no grouped, locked so I don't know why that is happening. Is there another stting that will group a bunch of seperate vectors together? attached is the file. I have literally hundreds of these I need to prep for printing

When I create Paragraph and Character styles, either from a script or a C++ plugin, the new styles only appear in the styles panels after I create a new style manually. With a script it sometimes works to add a "redraw();" at the end of the script. I want to add my styles during creation of a pluginGroup from C++. How can I get it to refresh the styles panels?
