Questions

My mind may be playing tricks on me. While working in Illustrator today I had a dialog box open asking if I wanted to create a Font library. I even assigned a name to the folder. However, when I went back to see where it is located I could not find it.  Is there a way to create seperate folders for the font? Thanks

Anyone else having issues of exporting .ai files where the document is just text corrupt? also, .eps exports showing up as half the image?

When I click and drag (and hold down the mouse ) to create a polygon. It appears as though it's creating a circle. I have tried pushing the arrow key down, while holding the mouse simulataneously but it seems to be increasing my shape in tiny increments ( probably 1 pixel at a time )  What did I do? How do I make it go back to behaving like the polygon tool is supposed to. I know it's not actually a circle, rather a polygon with so many sides it appears as though it's a circle. I don't know how to reset the tool.

ALL my ram is being used by illustrator to open just 1 document. How come adobe can't actually make good software anymore? This is an issue across my workplace with illustrator specifically on both Intel and M2 macbooks. What's going on why does it need to use so much RAM, it's slow and not usable in this state at all. It's also frustratingly impossible to contact the greedy corporation that is Adobe for assistance.

As with many other things we have to deal with here lately, it is beyond-the-pale ridiculous that I have to link each linked graphic separately again. If I have a file with 40 links, that means I have to deal with the relink dialogue box 40 [cursing removed] TIMES. Crazy.

I have problem which i did not had at previous versions of Adobe illustrator, When i Work With Georgian font Meta and make it Caps its turning to boxes like at photo, how can i Fix it?

Working on a MAC BOOK PRO.I had several files open in Illustrator. One of them used an Adobre font, which was a first time using such for the new version. I saved and closed this file. But later this happened to my other file with 4 artboards almost ready for export. They became white. First a Google font Poppins I use every day did not want to change color and then it changed the text box background instead of the text. I lost my patience and ourlined it to manipulate as I want. Then this error dialogue popped uop and all was lost. Nothing I did saved my file successfully. Then I force quit hoping there will be a recovery file. No. Nothing. An hour of work lost. Considering reerting to the old version.

Hellow, for the past months I've been having problems starting illustrator on my M2 Pro Mac Pro. I've tried to reboot illustrator, restart my computer but it helps for the first time but if I close illustrator and try to reopen it freezes. Takes too much time to initialize. 

I can't be the only one that runs into this, right?? You unplug your laptop from external displays, and in illustrator, photoshop....all Adobe apps, the windows and tools are all over the place and mostly off the screen. I've been running into this for a few years now (my use is occassional). Is there a magical fix to this??!?!?!

What is up with this? Its being going on across mulitple Macs and versions of Illustrator but just about EVERY time I go to copy a hex color code from the Color window nothing goes to the Mac clipboard and paste is just nothing. A second attempt at exact same process will usually be successful. However, pretty sure that on more than one occassion its taken 3 attempts. REALLY don't like having to repeat myself. 

 Hello,I am facing a problem in Adobe Illustrator. When I open or work with some files, I get this error message:“Errors were detected but could not be corrected automatically. Please send the file to Adobe for further analysis.”After checking Adobe’s documentation, I found the suggestion about unexpected global objects (swatches, symbols, brushes) and running the fixBadPluginGlobalObjectNames script. But I am still confused about how to properly fix the issue.I would really appreciate it if someone could guide me step by step:Why does this error occur?Is running the script safe for all Illustrator files?What should I do if the error keeps appearing even after running the script?Thank you in advance for your help.Best regards,Md.

When I install a new font while the program is open, it doesn’t appear in the font list. I have to close Illustrator and reopen it for the new font to show up.This is a very frustrating issue that appeared with the latest update.

As far as I can tell, Ai graphs don't let you include thousand/comma separators in the data from which graphs are created, so you need to add them after. I can't find any automatic way to do this after the graph has been created. Here's a screen shot example, in case that's helpful. I want thousand/comma separators on the Y axis and the bar value markers. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

He estado trabajando en este proyecto durante mucho tiempo, el día de ayer lo guarde sin problema y hoy al intentar abrirlo me salta este mensaje, no es la primera vez que me ocurre, ya me he contactado para estas situaciones con Adobe por mail pero nunca recibí respuesta. El mensaje anuncia que se lee parcialmente pero no es cierto: no está nada de lo que estuve trabajando, solo una mesa de trabajo en blanco. En la vista previa se ve mi trabajo intacto y el archivo sigue pesando lo que pesaba con los elementos (+300mb) pero al abrirlo en Illustrator no existe

I own a Wrap/Large format print shop and Adobe Illustrator 2023 is ruining my workflow and sometimes flat out does not work.  All of the files I used to modify, save, and export in Adobe Illustrator 2022 now crash and give me a "operation cannot be completed because there isnt enough memory (ram)" error.  Sometimes if I even try to copy and paste a completely fresh blank artboard and it crashes on me.  I have 32 gb of ram. This wasn't a problem in 2022 but Adobe removed my access to it.  I have tried resetting all of my preferences and it only made things worse.  Ocassionally, it almosts saves, runs out of memory, and completely ruins my art work by saving it as black and white jumble.  I have pasted my System info below.

Hi All,I'm trying to get the active Illustrator document name in my plugin.The following code works perfectly in Illustrator CC 2024 and CC 2025, but it fails in CC 2026 — GetFileNameNoExt() returns an empty name.  ai::FilePath path; ASErr err = sAIDocument->GetDocumentFileSpecification(path); if (err == kNoErr && !path.IsEmpty()) { ai::UnicodeString name = path.GetFileNameNoExt(); std::string s = name.as_UTF8(); if (!s.empty()) return s; } Is there something new we are supposed to call before accessing file information?Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you,Chetan

Hello everyone,I'm trying to write a script that increases or decreases the width of strokes on shapes.for now, what I came up with (found mostly on the internet a while ago), works fine for most shapes, and it can recurse into containers like groups, read their stroke width, and increase it by a certain percentage.The problem remains with Live paint objects. I can't figure how to read their stroke width or how to change it. Any help would be appreciated!

I am creating this forest in Adobe Illustrator, and I would like to know if there is anything that can be improved.

When converting fonts to outlines in Ai(cs3) and then saving it as a pdf (high quality print) the letter "l" appears to be bold in pdf file. Does this affect my printwork? or is a blitch in the pdf viewer or else?. I've tried converting directly from illustrator and through distiller, both the same results. Anybody?

Every time I try to import a transparent PNG. The background pops up with lines or it looks glitchy anyway to help!!!! it works sometimes, but then it just comes back out of nowhere
