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

can someone explain me which are the steps i can use in illustrator and photoshop to get this result on my picture?

When moving objects, the little grey overlay showing the x/y coordinates is in the way and not of use to me. Anyone know how to disable this in the ipad version? I've seen it answered for desktop, but not for ipad.

Is it possible to turn off the gray width / height box overlay when drawing shapes?

I licensed my first stock and it is saved in my library -- It is a set of tree plans for use in a landscape design. It is in my library. When I click download, a message says, "Only photos can be saved to mobile devices. You can save to a library, then dowload on your computer." (not sure if that's relevant) When I'm in the AI app on iPad, I click on the import image icon, go to my library, and click on the 'Trees plan' asset. Nothing happens.  I just want to have a warehouse of 2d plan elements to plop into designs (and resize, edit color, etc...) ... am I doing something incorrectly? Should I be going about this differently?

Hi everyone, Imsince a few days from now, when I try to use he text tool, the keyboard doesn't appear, so basically I'm completely unable to write (or even edit previous texts).Before this happened, If I pressed the keyboard button under the text area, an the keyboard appeared.

I recently got illustrator with the student bundle, and wanted to use it on my iPad. So app downloads fine, I open it sign in with Google and it brings me back to the sign in screen and freezes. All of a sudden it closed, I reopened it and I'm signed in but the Home Screen is incomplete, it's missing a lot and is again frozen with no buttons working. I redownloaded it, did the same thing. I updated to the latest iOS, same thing. I redownloaded it on the new iOS version, same thing. Not sure what else I can do to fix it. I attached the screen that keeps showing up.

Ive tried unstilling, rebooting, deleting all my photos, making sure they are in the cloud.  Crazy my Screen shots showup just fine...any ideas?

Hi, I've been using illustrator on my iPad for a while now and it's all of a sudden stopped working. I can navigate around the app itself and create a new artboard but it won't allow me to use any of the tools?

I've used the background remover tool from both Adobe Express and Photoroom. However, when I then upload the resulting image to Illustrator, it shows up with the original background removed but with a distorted version of the image as well. Sometimes I can troubleshoot this by choosing to download the modified image to my files v. to my photos, but eventually neither work. This is a new issue as of the past few months. I have otherwise used both apps/tools and the same process to do this successfully for months and months prior. Any insight is much appreciated!

Is there a reason the program does not allow multiple tabs on iPad? Is it a compatabilty issue?

Will illustrator ever get the ai features the desktop version has? It feels like since the photoshop and illustrator iPad apps came out that the photoshop has made leaps and bounds compared to the illustrator app which is essentially on the same version now that came out in oct 2022 with minor bug fixes. it's frustrating to be able to be so creative with the Apple Pencil and then have to switch to the full version on a computer.

When trying to open any on screen panels or icons etc they open and immediately close automatically making them totally useless and i cannot change any values. This does not happen in any other program i.e. photoshop lightroom etc. Not sure if there is a setting i can change. I have tried re-enstalling illustrator but the problem remains.Any advise please.

Just checking I'm not missing something - is there a way to view full screen artwork in Illustrator for iPad? (i.e., temporarily hide all the tools)I'd love to use Illustrator for iPad for pattern design (dressmaking) and then project straight from my iPad onto fabric but, even though the interface is as small and sleek as it can possibly be, all the tools still take up valuable projection space.

Does illustrator for iPad have object snapping. I just got the app today so I'm still learning my way around. 

I am trying to create custom font my editing existing typeface on my iPad. I am able to turn it into an outline, ungroup it and select it, but when I draw it always goes on top of the existing letter, it doesn't change the letter directly. What am I doing wrong and how can I fix it? I know how to do it on a PC but not an iPad. 

I'm having an issue where I need to export a PDF for print. It's only A6 size but exports a massive file size. (like 26MB) On desktop I understand that you would "Print PDF" to avoid this issue, but as that is not an option from the iPad version I'm not sure what to do.
