Questions

Olá pessoal, fiz esta forma,mas não estou conseguindo arredondar as pontas dela, como proceder?

I would like to request that the "Search Preferences" box in the Illustrator Preferences panel be removed or at least relocated. Honestly, I use functions like "Keyboard Increment" much more frequently to adjust element positions. However, because the search box is always at the very top, it constantly gets in the way and becomes the first thing that receives focus. This makes the workflow unnecessarily inconvenient. It would be much more user-friendly if the search box could be hidden, disabled, or placed somewhere less intrusive.

Hello,  I am working on a sewing pattern on Adobe illustrator, and would like to add seam allowance of 1.5cm to the pattern. However, when I try to use the offset path key, it is going all wonky and not creating the offset. I am not able to group this either. I am new to illustrator and I am stuck at this part. Thanks in advance for the help. Olive

I need to scream out to all long-time users of Adobe products!  Who else is angry at all the changes in shortcuts and keyboard commands?!I am on a Macbook Pro Mojave (also a horrible "upgrade) with Adobe CC - latest version with all updates. I don't understand why Adobe would change every single one of their keyboard shortcuts and shortcuts in general.  After using their software for 10+ years, shortcuts become so vital in your productivity and now I can't even easily shift my artboard from left to right.In Illustrator, the spacebar used to give me the "hand" icon where I could move easily around on my artboards.  Not anymore!I can't move around?! REAL RUBBISH, Adobe!! ZOOM IN used to be COMMAND + SPACEBAR and click however many times I wanted to zoom inZOOM OUT used to be COMMAND + OPT + SPACEBAR and click however many times I wanted to zoom out.Now I have to stretch my hand out to use COMMAND + + and COMMAND + - ?!  Scaling in Photoshop?  Come on!!  Now

My illustrator was crashing out and it wouldn't let me save my file even if it was on the cloud. After reopening it, it didn't show the recovery pop up and I just lost 3 hours of work. I'm trying to find the recovery folder to see if it saved a copy of my file before it crashed out but every forum I see online is either for microsoft or the finder bar text doesn't lead me to anything. How can I access this please help 😭

Hey everyoneI don't know what i pressed but now whenever i try to open or import a pdf document i comes as CMYK color instead of the default RGB i don't know what to do pleaase help guys!!!

Hi everyone,I’m working on an advanced JavaScript (ExtendScript) file for Illustrator that includes a floating window UI and uses BridgeTalk for communication between UI and drawing logic.I tried encrypting the script using Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit to convert it to .jsxbin, then wrapped it with eval("...") and renamed it back to .jsx. However, when I tried running it in Illustrator, it didn’t work at all—the script wouldn’t even open.I suspect the issue might be related to the use of BridgeTalk or the floating window, but I’m not sure.My goal is to protect/obfuscate this script before distribution, but I’m stuck at this point.If anyone has experience with encrypting scripts that involve BridgeTalk and floating palettes—please guide me on the best way to do this. Thanks in advance!

I was using Illustrator 24 and recently installed the 25 version, and i simply can't move objects with the arrow key. Changed the keyboard increment and it did nothing. On the 24 version works no problem. A tutorial said to check the Keyboard Shortcuts to see if the arrow shortcuts were there and to add if they weren't. I checked and there is no arrow shortcut or a way to add it.   

Any other users getting this lil oddity saving error message every other day with the last 2 versions I wanna say? Like, it always then lets me save said file, but the error message itself is new to me in all my 15+ years of using the software 🤔 🤔  Other stuff happens too, but this is a daily occurrence. This just seems the most buggy release in awhile.

The Smaller box is the actual artboard. When I go to artboard preferences I can check the fade region outside of artboard, but no matter what I do It won't go away.

I have been an Adobe Illustrator user for alomost 40 years. It has never been so frustrating to get answers to a very simple question. I want to enter a very short phrase in Hebrew into a document I am designing for a customer. When I asked for instructions on how to type in Hebrew (I have many Hebrew fonts installed) I am simply told to "Show Indic Options." THAT CHANGES NOTHING! in either character or paragraph windows. The online Adobe Illustrator instructions simply DO NOT APPLY to my current CC subscription (I have the latest version of all CC apps). What seems to be the problem?

Well, this morning when I make a new file, Illustrator opens the window full screen and without the ruler visible.  Illustrator used to remember the last New window state. I am now having to resize it, set the zoom, and show the ruler EVERY TIME I make a new file. Please fix!!

Hey folks. SOMETIMES, when I try to rearrange the colors in my swatch palette, they don't stay where I put them (in list view). It seems intermittent, so I think it could be some settings on my side. I tried to do a screen recording and it worked as it should, which reinforces that it's probably operator error. I just can't pinpoint the settings that need to be turned on or off... 

Everytime I have made a post or read about Adobe products glitching out, the immediate question by Adobe is "WeLL WuT CoMpUtEr & OS ArE U uSiNg?" (like that should matter for the products to work correctly). Well now, here I am with a BRAND NEW computer, Mac Studio Display and Mac Mini with M4 Pro chip and 20-core CPU bought last week, and I am still seeing the same stuff happening that I did on my 2017 iMac. When I am clicking on my Illustrator window to work on it and/or move it, it falls behind my Chrome window, or other program windows, so I can't see anything unless my those windows are not covering the screen entirely. Screen recording attached. This makes me nervous for the other products, especially After Effects. Is that still going to crash my computer, even if it's brand new? Does anyone else have experience with this?

Hi... I'm new to this processs.. so I may be using improper terms... so looking for guidance to meet my goals.I'm using Illustrator to design artwork for a keychain tag that I will dye sublimate.My first print, the colors are 'off'.. e.g., the blue I used is very muted, and the green I used is nearly grey.. the yellow is fine, but the orange/red is more red than orange.I imagine I need to tweak my colors based on the actual output.. but no idea how to go about that process... is there some calibration process by which I converge on the right colors based on the final ouput on my media?Any good vids or tutorials on this process?One other note, in order to get the images into the software I'm using for cutting, I'm exporting the illustrator to a PNG for printing from another software (Cricut Design Space)... what additional caveats do I need to be aware of?Thanks!

Does anyone else have a problem with the colors changing to way duller than they are supposed to be? While either moving the screen or turning layers (that have 100% opacity) off behind? As stated in this post (https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/illustrator-window-falls-behind-other-open-program-windows-so-you-can-barely-see-it/m-p/15482721#M452010), I JUST bought a new computer, so everything should be operating at the best efficiency, yet I'm having major problems with Illustrator. I have a Mac Studio Display and Mac Mini with M4 Pro chip and 20-core CPU and the latest version of Illustrator. Not only does the Ai window fall behind other windows while I'm working (just happened again), now the color is dulling out. I have attached a screen record for reference. Why is THIS happening?

I want a STOP sign in PNG file formet with Transparency Grid. I made a STOP sign as Transparency Grid in Ai & export it as a PNG file. But file is not with Transparency Grid. How to make it?         

I am having so many problems with new Illustration, is not showing properly a file with multiples artworks. It shows me messages that I do not know what the mean.. This new Illustrator so far is a bummer. I am not sure if the file is corrupted or not.. cause it shows everything so wrong. It moves the grafics away from the artworks is a total mess. It gives super strange percentage in "view", look the mess in the rulers. Also I have problems with saving files. Please can anybody give me tipos & and help?

Hi,Here a little issue that I find very irritating.When working on several Illustrator files, Export for Screens options tend to be linked to the file (Artboard names, formats, folder to export) as far as I can see. But the "Prefix" at the bottom right of the Export for Screens panel keeps updating based on the latest file used to export. So I keep retyping every time the prefix I want to use for the specific file I am working on, when it seems to me that the Prefix should also be linked and saved based on the file you're working on...Any solution for that? And if not, could it be included in a future update?

Goal: I want to translate the text within an .eps file. To achieve this, I am using Python along with Ghostscript to extract text from the .eps file. However, instead of readable text, I am getting garbage or encoded values (e.g.,  㻨㻯㼍㼞㼞㼕㼑㼞㻌㼠㼞㼡㼏㼗㻪, 㻨㼀㼛㼣㼕㼚㼓㻌㼠㼞㼡㼏㼗㻌㻔㼍㼘㼘㻌㼣㼔㼑㼑㼘㼟㻌㼘㼕㼒㼠㼑㼐㻕㻪, 㻟㻜㻠㻡㻤㻢㻱 ). How can I extract the actual text from the .eps file so that I can translate it and then reinsert the translated text back into the same positions in the .eps file to produce a translated version? I have also attached the source .eps file for reference.

Hola a todos, mi nombre es Lolitengo un tema con "guardar" en la v 29.7.1 de Aitermino de trabajar un archivo, vamos a llamarlo archivo A, le doy guardar y cuando quiero cerrar me pregunta infinitamente si quiero guardar los cambios. Aunque de ok sigue preguntando y no me permite cerrar.Intento con "guardar como" sobre el mismo archivo A y automáticamente cambia el nombre del archivo B de la ventana contigua.Vuelvo sobre el archivo B doy a "guardar como" coloco su nombre original (B) y lo toma.Peero ... si cierro el archivo B automáticamente cierra también el archivo A.cuando abro el archivo B automáticamente abre el A también.y si quiero cerrar el programa me pregunta nuevamente si quiero guardar los cambios en el archivo A. Doy a "Sí" y lógicamente me dice q no se puede completar la operación porque no hay archivos abiertos y pues sí no había archivos abiertos pero me sigue preguntando si quiero guardar los cambios en A.

Good afternoon, I'm now searching this support forum for the fourth time wondering if there are any answers for the recovery problem. This has been happening since I started as a professional designer in 2023, and the fact that I see it still as a problem is insane to me. The answers I see most often as remedies aren't actually fixes in any way. .aishm files still don't open on Mac and I've seen reports that they don't work on Windows either. Many users have suggested downgrading to an older version so it saves as .aid instead is simply silly. This is a program that we pay $500/year or more to use, and not being able to use the features that we pay for are absolutely unacceptable. Many people chide users with this problem for "not saving enough," and even though it is best practice, again, they're telling us not to use a feature that WE PAY FOR because it doesn't work. It's 2025. Every other application has some sort of autosave feature, and I nearly guaruntee that power users would ra
