Uso un plugin che si chiama FONTSELF per realizzare font.È sempre andato bene, ma oggi, per altri motivi, ho dovuto reinstallare Illustrator e, quando ho riattivato il plugin, la risoluzione di illustrator è passata a 2k, su di un monitor 4k.Cioè vedevo le icone, i pulsanti, insomma tutta l’interfaccia di comando con una risoluzione non giusta…Ho disinstallato e ri-installato illustrator e tutto è tornato normale.Ho riattivato il plugin e la risoluzione è tornata a 2k.

Meu PC é um VivoBook X512FBC que adquiri em 2021 onde eu já utilizava o Photoshop e o Illustrator, ambas as suas versões do ano de 2021. Após uma atualização no Creative Cloud, adquiri a versão 30.0 do Illustrator que seria do ano de 2026, porém eu reparei que ele não era compatível com as configurações da minha máquina, precisando então voltar à versão de 2021. O problema é que esta versão não está mais disponível no Creative Cloud, a versão mais antiga é a 29.0 (2025), mas ao utilizar, meu PC apresentou uma certa instabilidade devido ao processamento do programa. Fui aconselhado à entrar em contato com o suporte da Adobe, mas nenhum dos agentes estava disponível quando eu precisei. Como eu adquiro novamente a versão antiga para que eu possa continuar usando o Illustrator?

New to illustrator so apologies as sure this is simple, I want to cut a heart shape out of a block of text.I've created a square and used the area type tool to type my text to make a square block of text, all I want to do now is cut a heart shape out in the middle leaving it blank, this must be simple but don't know what I'm doing.Any help greatly appreciated.

I have an adobe illustrator subscription but when I try to get to the place to install it only shows the Ai Beta in the creative clout desktop. Help! I need this for a class I’m trying to take and it’s urgent.

Many os us (designers) don't have a huge screen to be able to spread all windows/tools allover thus, my request is regarding the way the colours names are displayed in the swatches window (specially in Illustrator and InDesign). I can’t see all values!!!  For a high-end detailed work my screen is set for maximum pixels, thus the letter size is quite small.Even using the "small list view", all values can't been seen (this is what I see now: C=30 M=60 Y=4...) unless the swatches window is really wide... using too much space out of my screen.Maybe a quick solution could be using C30 M60 Y40 K10 instead of C=30 M=60 Y=40 K=10There are also many space “not used”, but still the total full colour value can’t be seen.

In Illustrator 21.1 when I click on art or anything, my mouse wonders off for a second without me touching it? This happens every time I click on anything, so you can image the time it take to finish something. I’ve looked up solutions on google via preferences, and windows 11 with no success. Please help! the mouse works fine in all other Adobe products, and on the web. I even changed the batteries as a precaution. 

Illustrator 2026 gives this error when opening: "An unknown error occurred (18.020). Adobe Illustrator will be closed." Does anyone know the solution?

I've been trying for weeks and it won't work! I tried File->Place, and also tried dragging the image directly into Illustrator. JPEG, PNG, PSD.. none working!!!!I've uninstalled and reinstalled. It still won't work! Is this a PC problem? Never had a problem before when I used Mac before. How can I resolve this? I have to work on a project. Need help ASAP! 도와주세요!

How do I send files to my cutting master 5 program with the 2026 adobe illustrator?  I am unable to link to it now.

Hi! I'm creating a digital sewing pattern. It looks completely normal when it is in AI and as a digital PDF document, but when I print it out, extra lines appear, coming from one of the corners.It happens on page one (as well as some other pages). I have already confirmed that this is NOT a printer issue (it happens on 10 different brands of printers for those who tested it for me). I'm attaching files and photos. Please advise!!!   

I gotta tell you this is ridiculously frustrating. I searched the community for this issue and found exactly the same problem 7 years ago. I have Illustrator 2025 (Mac), and when I select text and paste it into any other program (Mail, Thunderbird, TextEdit) it is not editable. Instead it pastes as an image, so you can not insert the cursor any place in the text and edit.2026 Adobe - its 2026The old threads mention this as a bug in 2017. This is such a basic function, and yet I am at the forums seeking help. The suggestions in 2017 are ridiculous. Why should I have to paste text into a web browser or InDesign, then copy it again?  What a waste of time (and money).If you have a suggestion I am all ears, and I do appreciate the advice. Thanks, CThis is pasted to Mail, completely uneditable. 

I have two objects on my artboard and I want them to be a specified distance apart.  I usually use the Align tool and then Distribute Spacing to specify the size of the gap between them but it is currently not letting me specify the size of that gap.Select both objects Click one object to make it a key object Open align panel and look at the Distribute Spacing section - the box to enter the distance is blank and won’t let me type anythingnote: the vertically/horizontally distribute space buttons work fine, I just can’t set the distanceI am using Illustrator 2026 v30.2.1 on Windows 11 

Fonts in my files flag up as missing if I connect to any other wi-fi other than my home wi-fi. Seems to be a bug, how do I fix it? Font replacement and refreshing don't work, it won't allow me to activate the same font.

Smart Guides is a big help. Lately, they will turn off by themselves as I work and I'm constantly turning them back on. Today I noticed that after I select a line and then choose the Eyedropper, Smart Guides turns off. Thoughts?

Hi, I don't know if there's already a thread about this, but after the latest update to Illustrator 2026, the search bar in my cloud documents disappeared (File - open - Cloud documents). I have a lot of similar documents, and for years I've been naming them according to keywords so I can quickly find older documents. Am I just looking in the wrong place, or is there a way to request that the search bar be brought back?

En este PDF hay imágenes que se ven oscuras. Todas la imágenes proceden de SVG rasterizados en Illustrator con fondo blanco. Las que se han rasterizado con Illustrator 2026 se ven mal cuando se abre el PDF en Illustrator, en cambio las otras generadas con versiones anteriores se ven correctamente. El PDF se ve correctamente en Photoshop y otros lectores PDF.Si se guardan los cambios el PDF generado queda mal, con las imágenes oscuras.A qué puede ser debido?

AI-generated logoCreated shapeI’ve had a request to recreate the look and feel of an AI-generated logo. I am really struggling to find a way to get the color treatment from the attached image. Also, the logo I’ve created is not expanding or letting me “Draw Inside.” Any suggestions? 

Why has Adobe not seen it fit to include a QR code generator in Illustrator? Currently, getting QR code "images" into Illustrator is a pain in the a##. Adobe please wake up.

I am immensely frustrated and disappointed. I have been an Adobe user for over a decade and am professional Graphic Designer. I am absolutely frustrated as to what is happening with my fonts. I never know what fonts are offloaded from my computer and when. This morning I used a font (New Atten) and when I went to go back and edit the file just a couple of hours later, the font had been fully offloaded. BUT if I go to adobe fonts, it still shows the font as active, so I have to remove the font and reinstall it and this freaks adobe out and it will sometimes take hours  (2-4 HOURS) for the font to re-install on my computer. Fonts aren't supposed ot offload unless you haven't used them in six months, but mine are offloading when I haven't used them in a few hours. I know I can get this fixed by uninstalling and re-installing my creative cloud, but I have to do this on a weekly basis, which then means all of my fonts are re-installed and uninstalled, taking hours again. It sucks

Had a curious printing glitch occur recently, with an advertiser using a Google font (‘Anybody’, specifically) in their advertisement. The process was as follows:Client supplied PDF, but not the right size for the publication, so it was opened in Illustrator to adjust the size and make a couple of other amendments they requested. Output as a new PDF to our printers’ preferred spec. PDF placed on final page in InDesign, output to the printers’ preferred spec (I know refrying isn’t ideal, but it’s common enough in this sort of context) Publication goes to press, and some of the text set in ‘Anybody’ has gone adrift, most importantly, the client’s URL is missing most of the second arch of the ‘m’ of its .comThe PDF looks OK, the PDF prints OK in-house. Probably would have helped if I’d outlined all the text before final output, but wasn’t expecting any problems - the client had supplied artwork they’d used elsewhere, with no issues.‘Anybody’ is some form of Multiple Master - a font type t

Hello, I'm using a program that requires an earlier version of Illustrator, version 28 to be exact. It requires requesting a link because it's not directly available from the Creative Cloud. Could I please obtain it? thanks you

I’m an Ai newbie (only a few months of inconsistent use)and I’m trying to create an inverted version of this design so we can use it on a dark-colored t-shirt. I used a set of images from Adobe Stock and rearranged them, as you can see. I’ve tried the knockout/offset path method, but each element of this design is group of paths and/or compound paths (we’re talking dozens for each little picture, such as the cow) and… I just can’t sort it out. This is the method I have been trying

Fresh Windows 11 Pro 25H2 installation (26200.7840), fresh Adobe CC installation, fresh everything. Illustrator (30.2.1.1) hangs whenever I try to quit the application. Can only force quit / kill the process. This also happens when I click the (NEW) Templates link on the Illustrator Home Screen. The home screen area hangs and becomes unresponsive. You can still use the application’s main pulldown menus and even create a new document and do things but the homescreen layer remains hung.Things usually seem to be less responsive with interactions that try to reach some server in that bloody bloated inline browser, for all the bloatware the new UI is drowning in. I don’t even use them, I noticed when I was trying to troubleshoot. I would completely remove those slapped on features if I could but there doesn’t seem to be an option to debloat it.The core application does function and do all the rest it is supposed to do. All the generative bloatware, those panels that request a connection to

While its easy to wrap area text around an object, is it possible to do the same for text on a path? Like in this example have the words wrap to either side of the triangles.  

From a photo showing condensation droplets on a beer bottle, I’m looking to extract and vectorize the droplets in order to create a spot color layer for selective varnish (or raised varnish) printing.Do you have a reliable method to obtain clean paths that are ready for print?If you’d like, I can also provide a slightly more technical version tailored for a prepress or Illustrator-focused forum. FR / À partir d’une photo comportant des gouttes de condensation sur une bouteille de bière, je cherche à extraire et vectoriser ces gouttes pour générer un calque en ton direct destiné à un vernis sélectif (ou vernis gonflant). Avez-vous une méthode fiable pour obtenir des tracés nets et prêts à l’impression ?
