You can't directly attach an .ai file to the forum. Please resave as a PDF with AI Editing enabled and repost here.

Are the fonts you purchased OTF fonts, True Type or Postscript Type 1. If they are PS type 1, they are no longer usable in Illustrator.

One option might be to select the gradient object and use Rasterize to convert it to an image.

Have you tried using Symbols for the repeating elements? This may make it go faster.

Larry G. Schneider · ‎Dec 27, 2023

As to Bobby's question, how much ram do you have? Are your designs getting more complex as you go deeper in this direction? You really need 64 GB of Ram for this kind of stuff.

How often do you restart your computer and your version of AI?

Larry G. Schneider · ‎Dec 26, 2023

You will need a filled path as the background for your work. You cannot use Simulate Paper Color from the setup preferences.

Larry G. Schneider · ‎Dec 23, 2023

You can try squeezing the artboard down to a small area and lock layer 1. Then add a new layer and do your work there.

Had you Saved the file before you tried to reopen it?

Larry G. Schneider · ‎Dec 20, 2023

You will need to join the path at each of the reflection points by using the Direct Select tool. Drag a box around the points so both are selected and then use Cmd(Ctrl)-J to join.

What OS, what version of AI and which printer are you using? Since AI writes printer into each file as it is saved it is important to get this right. Does your printer have the option to print PostScript files? More information is needed.

Larry G. Schneider · ‎Dec 16, 2023

Have you tried the Direct Select (open white arrow) combined with the Shift key? It should make a group of the selected anchor points.

Larry G. Schneider · ‎Dec 15, 2023

What OS and version of that OS are you running? There's a good chance that older CS versions might not work with an up-to-date OS.

Larry G. Schneider · ‎Dec 14, 2023

What is the image at the bottom of the stack? Does it need to be there? Try removing it and see if it works.

Larry G. Schneider · ‎Dec 14, 2023

Is it possible that the file was saved as an image? From your description this sounds likely. What is the file type?

Larry G. Schneider · ‎Nov 28, 2023

Have you tried using Select Object by Path Only in Preferences >Selection?

Larry G. Schneider · ‎Nov 22, 2023

Check and make sure that dimensions are in whole pixels only. No decimal pixels.

Larry G. Schneider · ‎Nov 21, 2023

What exactly is wrong with the image you are posting?

Larry G. Schneider · ‎Nov 20, 2023

Thanks, Doug

Larry G. Schneider · ‎Nov 20, 2023

Is it different if you open the image in Photoshop and resave it in a different format?

Larry G. Schneider · ‎Nov 20, 2023

Is the image embedded in the file or linked?

Larry G. Schneider · ‎Nov 20, 2023

You could try using a brush for the stroke.

Larry G. Schneider · ‎Nov 16, 2023

What's the situation with the HDs and where do you save your files? What kind of network are you using? Do you save locally or over the network?

Larry G. Schneider · ‎Nov 15, 2023

Thanks, Bobby.

Larry G. Schneider · ‎Nov 15, 2023

What exactly is an Android S23 Ultra? There are no current versions of Adobe apps for Android that I am aware of.

Larry G. Schneider · ‎Nov 13, 2023

You need to use your system tools to install the two .otf file into the system font folder. They then should be available to be used by the apps on your system.

Larry G. Schneider · ‎Nov 13, 2023

Looks like there is a clipping path involved. Either release the clipping path or Direct Select the circles and cut and paste or use Object>Bring to Front.

Larry G. Schneider · ‎Nov 09, 2023

My own opinion the lines are too narrow to effectively use a gradient. You could try using Outline stroke but I don't think it will help much.

Larry G. Schneider · ‎Nov 09, 2023

Does it look any different if you change the gradient used on the strokes to a solid color?

Larry G. Schneider · ‎Nov 06, 2023

Do you have any leading applied to the text?
