Hello,I’m facing an issue with Adobe Illustrator  the menu bar options stop working frequently, and I have to reset the Illustrator preference settings every time I launch the program. Please help me resolve this issue.Thank you.

Text copied within Illustrator gets pasted outside of Illustrator as an Image or if I try to use that text to name the file, it pastes nothing at all. Example:If I copy any text from Illustrator into the clipboard, when I paste into Word or an Email or Mac Notes, or Text Edit, or to name that illustrator file, ....the text is converted to an image. I can however paste that same copy into the Email Address line or another Adobe product or to name a folder on my desktop. Just a few quick examples. This is a relatively new problem after using it for 25 years. Anyone? Thanks >Robert

Hi, I am trying to modify the dimensions of an artboard per an exercise, but the instructor's options across the top have height and width boxes enabling one to make the adjustments.Height & width are available in menu at top.I only have the x and y dimensions available. If I go into Edit Artboards and change the dimensions, I end up with a strange result. Here is before adjusting size:In Edit Artboard:After clicking "OK":I get a white selection around the shirt, but it seems within a larger whiteboard.How do I get the height/width options in the menu bar at the top, or another work-around to accomplish getting the blue shirt on its own artboard?Thanks in advance.

Every time I save a file as a PDF in Illustrator it automatically opens immediately afterwards in Adobe Acrobat. I can't seem to find out how to turn this off and it's driving me mad. Any help greatly appreciated.

Updated to newest Illustrator. Artboard titles above artboard are annoying me. Didn't really see an option to turn this off. Any help?

Como puedo evitar este error, he hecho documentos mas grandes y este solo archivo me da el error.Es un archivo de 5.25mt x 1.6mt CMYK a 300dpi .

Ever since I updated, I noticed this. I am trying to edit the gradient I created earlier. It doesnt pickup the color of point I am editing, instead it loads white. The color hasn't changed yet, the color picker just appeared on the screen. The moment I slide it anyway even a bit on any slider, the new color will be there on the point. this is annoying. Secondly the file is in RGB mode. The sliders are named RGB. THe sliders also behave like RGB after editing, thought the slider color shows CMY. is it substractive depending on final color it will have. it is confusing. and I am not sure what was the scenerio in previous one. But the loading default is a big problem.

Below I have 2 number 31 artboards, is this a glitch? I can't seem to reconcile this 

I just lost 5 hours of straight work as Illustrator crashed on me and didnt let me recover the files that were open at the time of the crash? What is this? Does installing Illustrator 30.0 mean resetting autosaving-settings to a default with no autosaving?!

Hi there guys I have been sweating trying to figure out how to achieve the effect you see on this rashguard. It looks like a halftone but I have the hardest time getting it to look even remotely similar. I would appreciate, sincerely, any tips of direction, perhaps a tutorial on how to achieve such an effect? With best regardsSebastian

En illustrator 30.0 me sale que esta bloqueado para el autoguardado y que debo de cambiar la carpeta y fui a la pág. de adobe e intente seguir estos pasos pero no existen.WindowsEscribe %AppData% en la búsqueda de Windows para acceder a la carpeta Roaming en tu perfil de Usuario de Windows.Vaya a Adobe\Adobe Illustrator <version> Settings\<locale>\x64\DataRecovery.Abra los archivos con la extensión .ai o .aid en Illustrator para recuperar el contenido. 

Instead of draging the corners to apply a change, is there any way use keyboard key combination to move corners to make precise or small movement? 

I often deal with patterns for work, and I haven't encountered any issues until now. I cannot scale/resize my patterns in Illustrator. I haven't touched my settings, so I may have used a key bind accidentally? The following settings under the scale menu are ticked:Scale CornersScale Strokes & EffectsTransform ObjectsTransform Patterns I haven't encountered any issues with my stroke scaling, so I am very confused. 😞

After installing the latest stable version of Illustrator, the list of recent files on the welcome screen is gone. Changing the number of displayed recent files, restarting the computer and even doing a clean install of Illustrator didn't help, so it's likely an app bug introduced in 29.0.  

WHEN ARE PROJECT TURNTABLE FEATURES AVAILABLE?

Tenho infrentado este erro diariamente no ilustrator. Toda vez que movimento o mouse as cores da arte ficam piscando sem parar. Meu sistema operacional e pacote adobe estão sempre atualizados e mesmo assim o problema persiste. O que fazer?
