Questions

Just updated to newest illustrator and have had a odd glitch appear. Perfectly normal filled shaped suddenly has a pie slice missing from the fill. No reason that I can see in artwork mode and not like any glitch I've ever come across. All paths are closed and no doubled up lines are causing this. Glitch was not there on file yesterday before I updated. Also, opening the file on an older version of Illustrator also shows the glitch. Pretty simple shape and the kind of thing I work with day in and day out in Illustrator and this is an issue I've never seen. Behaves very oddly when moving the anchor points around too (video).

He venido experimentando serios problemas de rendimiento desde la última actualización, se bloquea el programa o no guarda o muestra imágenes en baja calidad... he enviado los reportes cuando esto pasa pero tengoq ue estar cerrando y abriendo el programa para poder continuar. Mi equipo no tiene problemas de compatibilidad con la suite.

I have looked everywhere in the Preferences, but I cannot locate that horribly annoying Tour window that covers my work whenever I use Illustrator. Can someone show me how to turn it off (no, it's not the Welcome Screen...)?

I use the font Marker Felt.  When creating the PDF for printing, the following error message has been appearing for the past 1 or 2 months:Due to licensing restrictions, the MarkerFelt font cannot be embedded in the PDF document. Strikethrough text is not visible. Translated form Dutch ("Het lettertype MarkerFelt kan vanwege licentiebeperkingen niet worden ingesloten in het PDF-document. Doorgehaalde tekst is niet zichtbaar.") The font Maker Felt is open source/free (handwriting, free for commercial use😞 https://www.1001freefonts.com/marker-felt.font I tried all the solutions sugested on the website of Adobe. Like delete and install the font again in the Creative Cloud. But nothing works. How to solve this issue?

Bonjour,Je n'arrive plus à étirer mes sélections avec l'outil de sélection rapode (V)Je ne trouve pas d'où vient le problèmeQuelqu'un aurait-il la solution?Merci

Dear AI community I'm struggling with automating a batch job which involves rounding all corners (including sharp ones, low  angle) in a PathItem. I need to replicate from the script what you can do manually by selecting all anchor points and either dragging the round corner handler or just setting the corner radius under object Properties pane -> Corners field.  I spent a reasonable amount of time digging AI scripting guide and seems can't find anything related to rounding PathItem.pathPoints elements. Can't find any equivalent API to setting the corner radius via UI Properties->Corners field.  Also another issue is the corner radius handle & property will only show when the corner angle is bigger than certain threshold. Not sure why. Other vetcor editors I tried e.g. Inkscape or Affinity Designer don't have this limitation, you can round literraly any corner and it works rather well. Is there any way to force round corner regadless of angl

Hello all !I would like to make a book mock up in 3D to put my cover on it, something very simple. Do you know how I can do that ?Best 

My Adobe Illustrator has been experiencing weird crash since last weeks, and it takes so much effort out of my progress and its been bothering me.There is no warning or notifications that said that my illustrator quited unexpectedly, or another things that say about the illustrator crash. It just crash like it was disappeared like i was pressing cmd+q (without the save changes notification of course).And the hardest pill to swallow is the recovery which i set for every 2 minutes for backups and 5 minutes for cloud, its nothing on there. And I just recently found out that Adobe changes the recovery files from .aid to a .aishm WHICH I don't know how to recover (And appereantly people on community doesn't too)I'm using a M4 Pro Macbook Pro, latest mac and adobe illustrator update, 24GB of rams and 512GB of storage, which still has 250GB of space.I experienced it twice on last week, so I initiatively uninstall and install my illustrator but 40 minutes into working and setting up my workspa

Hi Adobe Team and Community,I'm running into a persistent issue when working between Adobe Acrobat Pro and Illustrator.When I add a FreeText comment (annotation) in Acrobat Pro (for example: a label like "X2X5" placed near a barcode), the comment is clearly visible inside Acrobat — but completely disappears when I open the same PDF in Adobe Illustrator.I understand that Illustrator reads only the page content and not the annotations layer, but in many real-world workflows — especially for designers working with marked-up PDFs — it's crucial to have those comments embedded as part of the visible content so they appear in Illustrator for editing, outline conversion, or print.Suggested Solution / Feature Request:Please consider adding a native feature in Acrobat that allows users to:Convert selected comments (FreeText annotations) into actual text objects on the page.Flatten annotations into the page content in a way compatible with Illustrator.Or offer a "Print with Comments as Content"

I created a design for a logomark that consists of a series of overlapping U shapes with a Multiply transparency applied. When placed over a dark field, depending on the hue, part of the design disappears or doesn't provide enough contrast. Is there any way to retain the original design with the multiply effect, but convert it to normal opaque transparency? I thought it might work by pasting an opaque white duplicate behind the original design, but the results are what you see in the 3rd image. Is this just the optical result of using these 2 hues of blue and green against a darker hue? Since it's a logomark, I need it to ideally be able to work against a variety of different backgrounds.

毎々お世話になります。若干混乱があり、お問い合わせさせていただきます。素人です。　→JpgやPngとeps、aiの違いは理解しています。未だ、cs6を使用しております。Adobe Stockに投稿したところ、ラスター画像が含まれているとのことで門前払いとなりました。そもそも「ぼかし」を含んだ画像がベクトル画像ではないとの理解が私に無かったことが原因です。目的＞単に作成したオブジェクトをベクトル化したい。　→チャットgtpで調べたのですが、追求するほどますます混乱しています。疑問＞1．アピアランスを分割。　→そもそもこの理解で混乱しています。　→単純な「塗り」「線」も含まれるとすれば、ラスター画像との違いはどこで見分けるのか？　→作成したオブジェクトをクリックすると、ラスター画像が無いのに「アピアランスを分割」が選択できる場合とグレーアウトされる違いは何なのか？2．透明部分を分割・統合。　→1．と2．の関係を理解するのに混乱があります。　→そもそもベクトル化には無関係なのか？　→オブジェクトに「透明の分割・統合」を適用し、グループ解除し、分解して、不要なパーツ（複合パスなど解除の結果）を削除する操作はベクトル化するには誤った操作か？3．「ぼかし」はラスタライズ。「グラデーション」はベクトル。　→このあたりの境界？がいまだによくわかりません。以上の疑問ががすでに素人だとおもうのですが、もしわかるように教えていただければ、とてもありがたく存じます。

Currently in illustrator you have the option to align objects to Selction, Key Object, and Artboard. Since I've been using the software, and working heavily for print, I the need to align to bleed has always been necessary. My request is to add a fourth option to align to bleed. 

Hello, I've been working on a single artboard with vector artwork jpegs for the last two weeks. Today, my PC had a BSOD while I was working on the file. When I tried to open the file, I got the 'Illustrator could partially read this file' error message. Now when the file loads, it appears as if a clipping mask has been applied as everything is cut off outside the artboard and you can't use the elements/motifs within the artboard square. The file size is the same as before the crash at 264mb and the Illustrator thumbnail still shows the file with all of the images that it should contain. My Illustrator version is 29.6.1 and I was using Windows 10 when creating editing this file. - I tried the 'revert' option, but it didn't work.- There are no other version histories in the window menu. - I've tried to re-name the file and re-open it, it doesn't work. - I've installed previous versions of Illustratoer, this doesn't work either. - I changed the scratch disk locati

Versions in the subject, OS Sonoma. This is a brand new laptop and there is nothing significant running in the backgroud; AI is severely lagging, I am trying to prepare a poster, it's a 30 MB file, some graphs, some embedded jpgs but nothing that is out of ordinary and I had no problems with older computers/software on similar files. Now just moving vector objects like a simple circle leads to the beach ball. I followed some troubleshooting suggestions from similar issues with older version like renaming com.adobe.illustrator in cache,  resetting preferences, etc., I even uninstalled and re-installed the app - none helped, still lagging. Please help, I'm running against a deadline and I can't finish my work; I don't have my old computer. 

I'm having trouble with CC Libraries changing the names of links when packaging an illustrator file. I've lready been using the method of having to duplicate an asset within the library assets to make sure the name of the asset in the library isn't changed to 'Artwork 1'. I need my assets to retain their assigned names when packaging a file that uses Adobe CC library assets as I work in a large team and we absolutely cannot have these random named assets being outputted!

Just updated Adobe Illustrator to version 27.6.1.Upon opening an existing, saved file which I have already been working on for several months, two of the  linked files (photos) are now rotated 90 degrees and no longer match up with the layers I have already drawn in above the linked files.  Does anyone know what is going on?  Is there a fix for this, or is this something that was accidentally "broken" with the update to version 27.6.1?  I've never encountered this previously.Thank you to anyone who is willing to help.

Many maps I download from ArcGIS have all text labels as individual letters of text instances grouped together to make a word. If i change the font size or scale it can ruin the formatting. I am aware you can copy the text group, click the type tool, make a new text object and paste the text and it will all flow properly together. I also have several scripts downloaded from the web that are supposed to combine the text into one object, but none are working. Is there an easy /automatic fix for this, that will fix every group of text on my map (many hundreds of text labels) into easily editable united text instances?edit: i addded "text paths.eps". When i tried to add an AI file it gave the error: "The attachment's text paths.ai content type (application/postscript) does not match its file extension and has been removed."  Hopefully eps works

I'm trying to record an action for work, but I'm running into a problem. In this action, I need to use the "Transform Each" feature, but when I playback my action, the Transform Each dialog box stays open and the action stops. When recording the action, the dialog box closes when I press "ok" or press "enter". Is there a way for me to have this recorded in the action? Is there a work around for this?  Thanks!

Whenever I export a selection in Illustrator as an SVG, it crashes every time. I can export for screens just fine. It's not until I make a selection that it crashes. Just curious if anyone else has this issue.I've tried updating it and uninstalling/reinstalling it, but it hasn't resolved the issue.

Can Alt Text somehow be embedded in an image and picked up by the app or software it is used in without having to manually enter the Alt Text in each application? Case in point for this approach: Embed in a brand logo or product imagery so it is consistently described and always Accessibile for Screen Readers. MS Office would be the primary destinations for the SVGs and PNGs.Thank you!

Hi everyone, I wanted to ask if anyone knows how to create multiple blank Illustrator files from a CSV, using the following parameters: File name CMYK color mode Width in cm Height in cm So the idea would be to provide a list of 500 items, and have the program automatically generate the files with the dimensions specified in the CSV. Many thanks in advance!

I’d like some guidance, tutorials, or anything that can help me get started with Illustrator plugin development. Right now, I’m facing a lot of issues after looking at the sample code in the 2025 SDK, I feel overwhelmed because there are so many files. The plugin I’m trying to build is full of errors, and I’m not sure if it’s because I linked the paths incorrectly or forgot to include something. It’s all very confusing to me.

How do I hide the display of Noto fonts in the font list? There are soooo many Noto fonts that show up in Illustrator when previewing fonts in font list. I realize these fonts are needed for system reasons, and that's fine. I just don't need to see them everytime I scroll through my fonts in Illustrator. Please let me know how I can hide these from view in the Illustrator font menu. Thanks.

I am trying to create a gradient mesh from shapes I made with the pen tool. I know that there must be a way to do this but I can't figure it out.

When using the Eyedropper tool (I), Illustrator samples black instead of the visible color from an object (like a rectangle in your custom palette). The correct color only appears if you go through the Color Guide.Possible solution:A PNG image with transparency, even if it's locked in the Layers panel, can interfere with the Eyedropper tool. Illustrator ends up sampling a transparent pixel from the PNG rather than the color from the object underneath.Open the Layers panelTemporarily turn off the visibility of the PNG image (click the eye icon next to the layer)Try the Eyedropper again — it should now correctly pick up the underlying color💡 Even if the PNG is locked, Illustrator still “sees” it when using the Eyedropper. Visibility overrides locking in this context.Hope it's helpful!
