I've been trying to export a pdf for print and illustrator has decided to put this blue line around the artboard. I can't sent it to print like this because the blue line prints. Can't seem to get rid of it. Please help!

I have seen various posting to include AI which claim there is an Astute Graphics plugin that ships with Illustrator. Trying to confirm bc I am not seeing it in Ai 30.0 Also is there a recommended Astute plugin for non commercial use. The suite is more than I want to spend for my use at home. Windows 11 Thanks

Hi, I am wondering if the feature "variable data" of Illustrator has character limitation? Because I have to replace the variable paragraph for 100+ designs but when I import the data it "The incoming variable library is invalid"...  

I'm having a problem with path alignment. I'm using the Brushstroke, and with several of Illustrator's default brushes, the strokes aren't aligning with the path. I've Restarted Illustrator, Restarted my computer, Update to the latest Illustrator version and Reset Illustrator's preferences, but the problem persists.

I have created an artboard that is 10.875" x 7.375" with .25" bleed. The resulting box should be 11.125" x 7.625"As you can see, the bleed measures .25" but the resulting box is 11.375" x 7.875" meaning .5" has been added    

I'm working on a project. I would like to insert a QR code. Is there a way to generate it in illustrator?

Hallo Community,ich versuche gerade eine Vektorgrafik in AI zu erstellen und könnte irre werden: ich musste das Programm jetzt drei mal über den TaskManager schließen, weil keine Rückmeldung mehr vom Programm kam.Version 30.0 unter Edition Windows 11 HomeVersion 25H2Betriebssystembuild 26200.7019.Freeze fing jedes Mal beim Zusammenfügen von Pfaden an. Egal, ob Pfadansicht oder GPU-Vorschau.Kennt das Problem jemand? Gibt es eine Lösung?

i started having this box opening every time i want to move or copy an object I created. I also lost all my brushes (custom) and all the objects made with them are now impossible to edit. is this normal? i think it started with the latest update. Super frustrating 

I've had real difficulty finding a solution for this one.I have over 300 files which I want convert to png files. This is for a vocabulary quiz program for students.However, I need the files to be a specific width and for the aspect ratio to remain the same, so they load nicely. The Actions option is no use because resizing is recorded as a percentage not a specific size, so files  have larger or smaller dimensions so it'll result in random sizes. Seems there is no other mode, am I wrong? Placing all files in one file on multiple artboards would be just as slow as doing each picture myself, so that's pointless option. Some websites do it but have not done it correctly. Either too blurry, wrong size or the background isn't transparent. Tried Adobe media encoder, but I either have set a specific size or keep the source. They all have different aspect ratios and as I said I want a specific size, so this doesn't help. I baffled why this still isn't a feature,

im using the revolve feature in 3d materials and have created a 3d ball using revolve on a half circle i can place a graphic in the materials onto my sphere but i get no circular bounding guide so i cant move it to where i want too the only things that work are scale and rotation i cant move the graphic up or down 

Hi need some help I'm using the free plugin EAN-13 Barcode Generator by MirecaIs there a way I can change the barcode height?  Can I select the bars and drag them smaller like i did with second barcode, or will this effect the barcode scanning?

Another day, another post where we tell Adobe developers how to do their job.   Please add insustry standard print/media sizes to the print box. Apologies, please let me reword that. Add ALL media sizes to illustrator.   As a commercial designer, I don't (abuse removed by moderator) undertand why A1, and indutry standard size is not available when printing.

Hello everyone!I just wrote a text in Illustrator that I would like to export as a dxf file to cut on my plasma machine. I have previously exporter dxf files out of svgs i opened in illustrator.

Buena tarde. Cómo puedo instalar Ilustrator 2022 version 26.5.2?

I'm very beginner so I have no clue where to even begin looking for the reason why.I'm attempting to color fill using the live paint bucket tool, but Illustrator blocks it on every layer. Mousing over the layers, there's a little circle with a dash through it next to the paint tool by my cursor. 😞  

Hello, I just updated Illustrator (29.8.2) on my Mac (MacBook Pro, 16GB memory, Sonoma 14.7.3) and it is completely unusable. Sometimes the app will open, but if I try to open any files, it just crashes. Tried reinstalling, same thing. Any idea when this will get fixed? I have a pretty massive job due in 48 hours, and I'm dead in the water and out a LOT of money if this doesn't get patched soon. What are other folks/agencies doing as a work around to theis current version being unusable??

Had to immediately uninstall and revert to 29.8.3 because ALT+scroll to zoom on the mouse cursor introduced horrendous lag (Win 11). Hopefully the next update will fix this.

So I just installed a new font to my pc. The font is: "Liebe Ist Fur Alle Da". When I try to use this font in Illustrator I can't find it. I've installed several other fonts this way and I can find them all in Illustrator. I've reinstalled the font, I've restarted both Illustrator and my PC multiple times and it's just not showing up. Does anyone know a solution?

I would love any insight from anyone who's converted files to BMP for a factory. I design in illustrator and am open to saving into photoshop if that is necessary to convert the files. I need files to be in BMP format. The factory machines make socks that are 144 needles wide.  Here's what I believe I need:BMP file that is 144 pixels wide. Height can change depending on height of sock.Number of colors needs to be below 6-7 colors at the most. No anti aliasing I've been experimenting in saving the illustrator files in photoshop with specific file settings. I've been having trouble getting the settings to be a standard I can always work with. For example, I have not found a way to export the files as BMP at all from illustrator. From photoshop, I am not sure if I can export it and reduce the pixels and colors while i export, because right now they appear anti alised. I wonder if I can set up a file that is limited by color and pixels and convert designs or copy a

I'm trying to figure out how to troubleshoot this. I thought it was related to my file at first, but it's not. I create a new document, created just a rectangle. I can zoom in and out, pan quickly using the mouse wheel and Alt. Everything is fine, until I save. Then I have to close illustrator and open it again or zooming in or out causes a 1 to 3 second delay before it responds after the zoom.Once I've saved the file I can close illustrator again, then open the file and it's fine. I can even make changes and save multiple times, and it's fine. Zoom in and out, pan, no problems. Unless I hit the share button. I don't even have to create a share. Once I hit the share button, that sets it off again. I can pan as fast as I want. But zooming, as soon as I stop zooming, there's a lag. This is Only if I use the mouse wheel to zoom or pan. If I use Ctrl+ or Ctrl- it's fine. And using the zoom tool I can drag and it even smoothly zooms.Again, it only happens after the first time a file is
