Questions

I can't seem to find the answer anywhere. When working on a file with any amount of artboards, I can copy and paste and that image will show up on another artboard as well. So it's pasting in two places. Seems not to matter how far apart the artboards are. I have tried to install the last version and I'm still getting the same result. I figured they would have addressed it by now. Anyone have a clue as to what is going on?

Dear all, hope you enjoying everyday.I do "Unlonk All, Create Outlines, Embed" every time after finishing my artwork. I use action for "Unlonk All, Create Outlines" and "Embed" by manually.Some times I need to click more than 30 times just for embed...so I tried to avoid for meaningless click.Finally I found Embed scrpit... as below.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------#target Illustratorif ( app.documents.length > 0 ) {   while ( app.activeDocument.placedItems.length > 0 ) {  placedArt = app.activeDocument.placedItems[0];  placedArt.embed();   }}---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------but I can not record script on action. After all this situation, I'm looking for the way to create script that include "Unlonk All, Create Outlines All(Text only but with strock is better), Embed All".Hopefully I can got help

Hi,If I highlight an anchor point with the white arrow tool and turn it into a smooth point it shows both handles of this anchor point on each side of the anchor point itself.Is there a way of pulling out both handles simultaneously so that the resulting curve is equal on both sides.  I can't take a screen shot because on my mac when I take the screen shot the handles disappear.Any help would be awesome.Thanks

I have a problem with the opacity tool. I do not use opacity in my files but after saving and exporting the file as jpg then closing the file and re-opening it suddenly some objects (pictures, text, grouped objects) randomly have opacity on it in random amounts. I have to set the opacity for every object separately to 100% again which is really annoying and time consuming. I have no idea why this happens. It can not be a shortcut which I press accidentally because I did not select the random objects before. And I do not know if I can reset the opacity for the whole file. Does anyone have the same problem? or does someone know how to avoid it? or know an easier way to reset the opacity of random objects and grouped objects?

Quando vado a disegnare e punto la penna ilpunto sul foglio risulta spostato rispetto a dove ho cliccato. in più non mi fa avvicinare le forme fino a toccarsi o combaciare.

 This has never happened to me before, but I've had this happen a few times. Illustrator just randomly zooms in on my artboard, and when I go to zoom out, it gets stuck. It shows as though I am zoomed out to the max, but my artboard isn't actually that big. Also, when I click on my artboard to check the dimensions, it has completely changed the size of my artboard. Can anyone help me with this?

 DescriptionIllustrator has become unusable on my system — the issue affects both new and existing documents.Problem SummaryWhen I open Illustrator, the New Document dialog’s dropdown menus (Color Mode, Preset, etc.) often won’t open.If I manage to create a file (e.g., A4 CMYK), the artboard flashes briefly (≈1s) and then disappears.Opening existing .ai files shows the same behavior — Illustrator loads the workspace, but no artboard is visible and the UI dropdowns stop responding.GPU Performance is detected and enabled, but the canvas is blank or missing.The issue sometimes vanishes after rebooting, but always returns.System & VersionsWindows 11 23H2Illustrator 2025 (v29.x) — also tested several older versions → same issueGPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 TiDriver: 32.0.15.8129No virtual adapters (OrayIddDriver removed)WebView2 reinstalled (Evergreen x64)Cache cleared:%AppData%\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator 29 Settings\,%AppData%\Adobe\webview2\,%LocalAppData%\Adobe\webview2\Steps Tried

Bonjour,c'est la première fois que j'écris ici, je suis à bout de ressource avec mon problème...Donc, je sélectionne un objet (ou texte) dans un calque, je copie, je sélectionne autre (ou nouveau) calque et quand je fais coller, illustrator colle un nouvel objet dans le même calque d'origine.J'ai même essayé de coller dans un nouveau projet, même résultat, il colle l'objet avec le calque d'origine qui vient du projet original.J'ai désinstallé et réinstallé Illustrator et toujours le même problème.Quelqu'un a déjà vue ça?J'attends de vos nouvelles, merci pour votre temps.

When working with the Wacom pen in Illustrator, the vertical scroll bar often ‘hooks onto the pen’ and can no longer be left. You can only scroll.   You then have to try to quit the programme somehow, after a restart the work works again for a short time.   The problem is known: https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/side-scroll-bar-not-stopping-when-supposed-to/m-p/14103647 As a solution, it was suggested to deactivate ‘Wacom’ in ‘Preferences’ under ‘Devices’. This works to the extent that the problem has disappeared - however, the pressure settings are then no longer available for the brushes.   Therefore it is not a solution. 😒   Would be great if the bug could be fixed! 🤠   Illlustrator 28.6 Windows 11 Pro Windows 11 Pro Wacom Intuos Pro L, Pro Pen 2, driver 6.4.6.2 (latest)

I tried to use the free version of the Pantone Connect which we all know is no good, so I had no option but to pay and upgrade.  Adobe is still showing the free plug in, how do I swap it for the paid one that should have all the good stuff.  How do I get it going in Illustrator....I am in a tight work timeline and do not have loads of time for tutorials and digging around  Thank  you for your help getting me up to speed with this!

Hallo zusammenFür meinen Kunden haben ich vor ein paar Jahren mehrere Bücher (im InDesign) mit sehr vielen verknüpften Illustrationen aus Illustrator erstellt. Damals wollte der Kunde mit drei Pantonefarben plus Schwarz arbeiten. Heute, für die Nachdrucke, soll alles in CMYK aufbereitet werden.Im InDesign ist es ja kein Problem ein Farbe zu ersetzen. Im Illustrator ist das mega komplitziert. Eventuell bin ich mit meinem Wissen irgendwo stecken geblieben und jemand von euch, kann mir einen einfachen Weg aufzeigen?Hier nochmal die «Situation»: Jede der drei Pantonefarben soll neu einem bestimmten CMYK-Wert zugewiesen werden, alle eingefärbten Flächen in den Illustrationen sollen dann den neuen CMYK-Wert bekommen. Es sind insgesamt über 700 Illustrationen davon betroffen.Ich bedanke mich zum VorausLiGrüConnu

Hello,  I recently started running into an issue with the newer versions of Illustrator regarding window size when using fullscreen.  Firstly, I will describe my monitor setup.  I have three monitors.  My left most monitor is a 2k Vertical setup Monitor, the center is a 4k Landscape monitor, and the right most monitor is a HD Cintique tablet. When making the window fullscreen on my main display (the center most 4k Monitor), or rather maximized to fill the monitor (not the fullscreen feature in-app) the right side of the window extends well beyond the monitor bounds.  It does not extend into the display on the cintique, but rather is unviewable what-so-ever.  Upon trying to drag the window away to make it small again, the window shoots out across all three monitors, extending down bellow my taskbar, completely out of view, and out of bounds of my mouse.  No matter what I do, the program will not properly display the full program on my 4K moni

Hi there, I have been working on a file and recently reopened. It appeared to place something in without anything being dragged onto the screen. I had hit stop on the progress bar to which it had then reverted the entire file back to it's original version. Is there anyway to revert to the previous worked on version? I have tried to revert, undo etc. but have not had any luck. All the best,J

I have been trying for three days to resolve this issue. I have a font downloaded and installed on my computer that I'm using in an Illustrator file. When I go to save it as a PDF, everything works except the letter i for this specific font (Playfair Display). I have re-installed the font several times, updated both Illustrator and Adobe and searched for why just one specific letter in the font family won't load to no avail. I have used this font before and had no issues with exporting, but now if I go back and try again, the same letter is no longer working.  Adobe file screenshotIllustrator file screenshotAdobe save settings -- I am not changing anything here

Hi,How do i remove these green lines? I wanted to remove the Vegan icon and i am locked in and i can't figure it out. it is also offset.  thanks  

suddenly, I can't move objects with the selection tool. I can use arrow keys. I can move only if I drag from the center point. very annoying!I've tried restarting, rebooting, turning various view settings on and off (outline, edges, corner widget), pasted and drawn elements, a wireless and a wired mouse.currently i'm testing by opening a new 500 x 500px document, drawing a red rectangle, selecting the Selection tool, and trying to drag the rectangle. it's the only Illustrator file open, so there's it's about as simple as it gets.i'm using Windows 10, Illustrator 23.0.1 64bit with massive 256GB RAM (so it's probably not memory related).

Move Plane to Match Object is not adequately explain, or not really explained at all in the documentation.  There is virtually zero information about it online.  When I use it, nothing happens.  I guess it is broken.  Has anyone used it?

Hi guys, I have to edit the menu flyers for a restaurant since a few things changed. The person who did the design sent the restaurant owners the files as AI files but unfortunately I cannot edit those files. But to keep true to the same style I need to find this one specific font because it is also used in the logo of the restaurant. But I cant find it no matter what. I even tried the Retype Method. Does anyone have any suggestions, Im in need of it!! Thanks

Hello,  for the past few weeks I have had an image alignment issue when reopening ai document Every ai file I open, the images (embedded) have all moved up and to the left. I don't know what is happening and if there is a fix, but it is in every file I open(see screen shots). The thumbnails are correct before opening, but just the ai file is doing this.  I have tried opening the files using the latest Ai, Ai Beta, on my work computer using my work adobe account, as well as my home studio computer using my personal adobe account.   Both are mac version (2024 macbook pro 16") & (2023 Mac Studio). Has this happened to anyone else? Any help would be amazing, as it is so annoying and time consuming to have to realign every image everytime I work on a file.
