Questions

I draw comics for kids and my works are published in Bengali kids magazine. I recently bought iPad to improve my workflow only to be disappointed that I can not  paint my comics with paint bucket tool that I have been using in desktop version for last 5 years. This is very annoying and switching between desktop and iPad complicates my workflow now. I am sometimes regretting my decision to invest in iPad. Any word of comfort? A sample of work has been attached so that you can get a feel of my line.

Good afternoon everyone.Lately I’ve encountered a pretty substantial problem with my illustrator, where every digit I type is stubbornly turned into arabic digits with arabic right to left reading order and everything else that comes with that.Context: I have spent a couple of years working on projects where Arabic language support was required, hence I used to have the English/Arabic versions of the adobe programmes installed for that time period. Since, having no more need for arabic script use, I’ve reinstalled all the software to the default English language. No problems were encountered in the process, apart from a recent issue with Adobe Illustrator (only).Everything else in settings seems to be fine, the language is set to English UK, nothing in properties indicated arabic script requirements. What is worse, is that I can’t locate the digits settings in illustrator to fix this script mishap. Anybody else encountered this issue?Please help, adobe is rage-baiting me into installin

I hope adobe start focusing on basic things and stop showing off stupid AI stuffs.    It's been a week and adobe illustarator is crashing every now and then which is causing issue in lose of work and time and adobe still haven't bothered to release a fix after a week.    Everything works fine in Adobe photoshop, the issue is just with illustrator, PLEASE FIX THIS THING.    [abuse removed by moderator]

There’s growing evidence that points that Adobe intends to quietly ditch Illustrator on the iPad. An app from a company this large does not stay this buggy, this unstable, and this incapable of opening or executing basic tasks from its own desktop files by accident. “Updates” continue to roll out, yet core issues remain unresolved for years, suggesting maintenance theater rather than real development. At some point this starts looking like intentional neglect, and I’m sick of this shit.

Hello,I frequently have more than one Illustrator doc open at a time as I'm usually copying/moving elements from one file to another. This is easy to do on desktop with the ability to have multiple tabs open within the application, but impossible on iPad. When I try to do split screen, I just receive a message that multiple windows are not supported. Please have this functionality added to the iPad app.

I have scale stroke and effects turned on, but when resizing, say, a triangle with rounded corners, the corners do not maintain scale relevant to the triangles size. They instead maintain their original size. Is there a way to scale an object 100 percent, including corners, stroke, and effects? 

Is there any way to add a bleed and crop marks within the Illustrator iPad app?

I've been trying to access my illustrator. I've uninstalled it, restarted my iPad, signed in and out of my accounts, cancelled my payment and then started it again. I checked if my iPad needed a software update but it doesn't and nothing has worked. This would happen multiple times but it usually resolves itself once I press restore purchase. I really need to be able to access my files. I know I am signing into the right account because I cscan access creative cloud and it has the correct files saved that I've been working on. Please help me out and it doesn't matter if I'm connected to WiFi or hotspot. 

Hi, I have recently got Illustrator on my iPad and struggling with resizing, currently, I cannot skew the image when resizing (or ever)  as a locked constraint icon appears, see picture. As you can see I don't have the touch (shift) down so I should be able to skew as required. 

Hello,I have an Adobe ID for Business account which allows me to access all applications on my laptop without any problem.I would like to draw on my iPad (with the "mobile" apps), but when I connect to the apps (Fresco or illustrator or photoshop)  with my Adobe ID, I get the following error message: "Access required - This account does not have access to a sync storage location. Use another account."Do you know if it's normal not to be able to access apps without storage space? Thank you in advance for your help !

I need to get rid of these boxes, how do I do that?

I'm trying to have students use illustrator on iPad to create SVG files to use with our lab-space laser cutter. However, when they export and send me their files, the files I'm getting at 75% of the original size. I tried it myself on my iPad and had the same issue, so I know it's not something they are doing wrong.  As a workflow, I have them working in mm, so they create the workspace in mm, and created shapes at that were ~20x20mm. When they exported and brought into our lasercutter program, they are ~15x15mm. My workaround in the short time is just scalling up by 133% after they send me the files, but I feel like there should be a better solution.  Any suggestions?  

Hi I can not use illustrator on my iPad any more! It opens with message 'check network connection and try again'- the network is connected and working well- its a strong wifi too- the iPad has been updated to the latest IOS 16.6.1, I have deleted and re downloaded the app so it is definitely up to date, I have restarted the iPad, logged out and in (many times) and it is still showing the same message and i am unable to open new or old pages! Any advice on how to fix this error much appreciated, Thanks!

I am running Illustrator on an iPad Air 4th generation with an Apple Pencil.  When using the Pencil Tool, I can easily draw a stroke, set the stroke color, width and width profile but when I create a second stroke, the parameters have reset themselves to the defaults. I am very experienced with Illustrator on my desktop computer (and many other sketching apps) and have never had to customize appearance settings before drawing the second stroke.  Or if I might, I would have, at least, the option to check “New Artwork Has Basic Appearance.” Today I’m looking for clues for things to try so I can set appearance parameters once and draw multiple strokes.

Hi,I was drawing with the paintbrush tool and I found a brush I really like. So I make it a tad thicker for my outlines (10pt) but when I want to change the stroke size down to 5pt to do some fine detail work, it changes all my previous 10pt strokes to 5 pt.  Is there a setting I could adjust to stop this from happening? Thanks,Rich

I miss the old illustrator app..

I am trying to create a layered drawing in illustrator on my ipad, with shapes in different colour fills + some with, some without outlines. When I draw a new brush stroke (in an outline, no fill), it changes the outline of other paths (on locked/other layers) to have the same outline colour/thickness, where they had no outline previously... its very frustrating. Has anyone experienced this / is there a work around? Beginning to think I should move to ProCreate.

The app repeatedly and constantly frustatingly freezes, blocks and all sort of malfunctioning (pinching and navigation for example)

Using the latest version of the iPad app Adobe Illustrator. Smart guides won’t snap object into alignment in more that on axis at a time. I can’t put any shape perfectly into the corner of another shape. I can’t even allign four squares of equal size.

I use Illustrator for iPad for all my work, but I have noticed that you are not releases new features, there are some missing features I and other artists have been waiting for over 3 years. I don't understand you seem to update Adobe Fresco regularly and now you have made it free for everyone which is great. But why is illustrator for iPad not getting any updates at all for a paid app. It is very frustrating.

I started using Illustrator IPad version and while I'm working it won't save my work progress. I keep making changes to my illustration but changes are not being saved. Is this a major bug and can this be solved?

I cannot for the life of me seem to CONTINUE a path with the pen tool after having deselected it. Actually I'm not really sure what's going on. I've used Illustrator since 2002, so I expected the iPad version would let you continue a path by selecting the last anchor point and using the pen tool to proceed. What's more, I want to make a straight a line continuing out from the last anchor point, so naturally I hold shift on my iPad keyboard (also used the 'shift' catch-all corner circle tool thing on-screen) and when I tap to plot the point nothing happens. As if I've deselected, it just goes blank. Even when I go off to the side of the canvas with the pen tool selected to create a new path, holding shift does the same thing. Nothing. First point disappears. Blank. And get this, even when I don't use shift and create a line with 2 points to join it to the last anchor point from the path I want to continue, it doesn't. Inexplicably, it remains separate. iOS, Illustrator app, everything's
