Apple Scribble feature not working in AI

Report · Feb 16, 2022

Hi,

I'm using Illustrator for iPad Pro (12.9" - 5th Gen, with a 2nd Gen Apple Pencil).

Whilst I don't have any issues with using the pencil for drawing lines/curves etc or general operation, for some reason if I want to rename a file using the "scribble" feature and write text it doesn't work.

This only seems to be on AI - I don't have any issues on any other app on the iPad including other Adobe apps eg. Fresco.

Is this a known problem or has anyone else experienced this? Not a big deal I know - but a bit annoying that I have to keep swapping to keyboard when I'm full flow.

I can rename the file using scribble. What doesn't work for me is to add text into a textbox using scribble.

It seems to have resolved itself - I can now rename files. Not sure entering text into an actual text box (I presume you mean in an AI document) is possible.

Just to resolve my Font activation issues now.

Hi All, I tried to edit a text in an Illustrator file and it is not working using Scribble Feature. Does anyone have a solution ?
